Last week I made Ann's Carrot Ginger Turmeric Steamer (or Chiller) from Crave Eat Heal. I had some leftover pulp from making the juice in the steamer. I almost tossed it out, but then I thought about making these carrot koftas and smothering them with an easy coconut Indian sauce. I miss getting creamy kofta dishes in Indian restaurants. They are always full of cream and the little dumplings are usually made with yoghurt or cheese. I never made this at home because I thought it would be too ...

Collard Green and Quinoa Taco Filling from Nutrition CHAMPS

Creamy Vegetable-based Vegan Cheese Sauce
This crazy weather has me craving comfort food. It was 9 degrees not so long ago, and they say we're about to get more snow tomorrow. I live in North Carolina, not Minnesota! I'm determined to get through this winter with some pasta tossed with my new Creamy Vegetable-based Vegan Cheese Sauce. This sauce has cauliflower, turnips, and carrots as its base, so it's easy to feel good about serving it to your family. It does have some cashews too, but you can leave them out if you are on a ...

Stevia Chocolate Chip Shortbread
Even if you are avoiding refined sugar, you can still have some of this Stevia Chocolate Chip Shortbread. Lily's Chocolate sent me some of their new stevia chocolate chips to try out. I really like them and they baked well in these cookies. Don't expect them to be as sweet as regular chocolate chips though. Their dark chocolate chips are vegan and gluten-free. They aren't cheap, and a bag from Amazon will set you back about $7 or 8 dollars, but you can get them cheaper at ... Read More about Stevia Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Slow Cooker Navratan Korma
Sometimes things get so busy that I am craving something comforting and flavorful like this Slow Cooker Navratan Korma. Before I went vegan this was my favorite Indian dish - it's creamy, slightly sweet and full of veggies, nuts and raisins. The traditional recipe uses yogurt, cream, and ghee - which makes it a landmine of dairy. It's so easy to make it at home in your crockpot, and you'll save a ton of money, so it's all good. Make sure to ask questions when you’re eating at a ... Read More about Slow Cooker Navratan Korma
