Vegan Chicken and Dumplings
Yesterday morning my four-year-old woke up feeling under the weather. She was complaining of a sore throat and headache. I knew it was a day for comfort food, and what could be better than vegan chicken and dumplings? It’s warm and creamy but also packed with veggies, making it the perfect meal for a sick…

Frittata Recipe (Vegan)
Last week we had some wonderful friends from high school staying with us. (I love house guests!) I wanted to make something for breakfast that I could prep ahead, since I’m not one for slaving away in the kitchen when my friends are around. I wanted something that was a little bit fancy. This delicious…

Vegan Peanut Butter Pie
This easy vegan peanut butter pie is my number one most-made dessert. It comes together in minutes. Just throw some ingredients in the blender, pour it into a purchased graham cracker pie crust (or make your own), and pop it in the freezer. Easy. Even better, it’s rich and creamy and always gets lots of…

Strawberry Walnut Salad
This tasty strawberry walnut salad is one of my go-to recipes when I want a healthy meal that is easy to prepare, yet satisfying. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors from the strawberries and oranges, the crunch from the walnuts, and the creaminess of the avocado make this salad a delicious and nutritious explosion…

Vegan Potato Soup
By far the most popular post I’ve ever posted on this site is my (now famous) cheese sauce. The great thing about this recipe is that it uses this popular potato-carrot cheese sauce as the base.

Vegan Shredded Chicken
Why I Love Vegan Shredded Chicken My friend Margie introduced me to this recipe. I was incredulous when she told me you could make seitan chicken using just two ingredients. Really, just one. Gluten flour (with water)! This recipe is incredibly versatile and could be used anywhere you’d normally use a shredded chicken replacement. My…

Oil-Free Lentil Soup
Lentil soup is a staple comfort food that’s perfect for fall, winter, and spring. It’s loaded with nutrition including iron and protein. I think it’s so important for the lentils to be super soft and smooth, and just to melt in your mouth. I also think the flavor of the base is critical–rich and savory…

Oil-Free Scrambled Tofu
Scrambled tofu. It’s a staple in most vegan diets. This recipe may not be the newest, or most creative, but I sure do love the flavor. I also love that you can mix the dry ingredients together in a container and just shake it on to season your tofu if you just love your scrambled…

Easy Vegan Instant Pot Soy Yogurt
I love yogurt. I grew up packing it in my school lunches, and my favorite was go-gurt (can anyone relate? Do they still make that stuff?) When I became vegan, I enjoyed vegan yogurts, but it was just too expensive. Fast forward about fifteen years of being vegan. When Ryan was hospitalized for cancer, I…

Oil-Free Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Sometimes it feels like a battle to get my kids to eat anything. Anything. Much less something nourishing and wholesome. Also with two little ones, I don’t have tons of time. That’s why I love this recipe. When I made this broccoli cheddar soup for my blog, my kids both inhaled bowl after bowl. And…
