Vegan Chicken and Dumplings

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!)

This delicious…

Vegan Peanut Butter Pie

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…

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…

These days, I love making these stuffed shells to serve to guests. They’re easy to make ahead, everybody loves them, and they make great leftovers. …
