Italian Zucchini Stacks
The weather here in the north of Colorado has been very interesting lately, to say the least. With thunderstorms nearly every evening and the very real threat of tornadoes right outside ones backdoor, days and nights have been quite exciting. Is it strange that I love the sound of distant thunder as I fall asleep, […]
Kale and Onion Quiche {Tofu, Whole Grain Spelt}
I am of the opinion that quiche is a breakfast food. That said, I often serve it for dinner. I love breakfast for dinner, in fact it would not be uncommon to see pancakes or a scramble with toast served for an evening meal in my home. My mom and I constantly disagree about quiche […]
Napa Cabbage Veggie Stir Fry
I am very excited to share this recipe with you. It looks like an unassuming, humble veggie stir fry though it is anything but. The spicy sweetness of the sauce is completely unexpected, and the whole dish has a savory full flavor that is almost addicting. The ingredients can be fairly flexible, depending on what […]
Vegan Crab Cakes with Mango Pineapple Sauce, Sweet Coconut Rice and Spicy Sesame Green Beans {gluten free, soy free}
Sometimes I feel like my life is a series of food experiences as I always associate specific memories and life events with what I ate at the time. I think it began when I was little, because my mom always made a really big deal of our birthdays. We got to eat whatever we wanted […]
Chocolate Chip Pecan Waffles with Peanut Butter Mousse {whole grain spelt waffles)
Belgian waffles, what breakfast is more decadent? I love dense, rich waffles and sour cream is just the ticket to get the right texture and flavor. I have been making waffles with sour cream since long before I became vegan. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that I could still make my […]
Tandoori Tofu
I’m not sure if I love Indian food because I am obsessed with cumin, or if I love cumin because I am obsessed with Indian food… I might never figure out the answer, so I’ll give you my most recent tofu recipe instead. Speaking of being obsessed, I admit that I might be a little […]
Zucchini Taco Boats {Tofu Taco Filling, Gluten Free}
Zucchini is a vegetable that I often find challenging. I always end up making the same old things (zucchini bread or muffins, sautéed in a bit of olive oil or added to a stir fry). Zucchini season seems to drag on each year though, and it is way too easy to get tired of the […]
Easy Spinach and Cheese Lasagna with Homemade Noodles {vegan, tofu ricotta}
Lasagna seems like such a complicated dish when one considers all the boiling of noodles, layering of ingredients, etc. The problem is, I really love lasagna. I am a really busy mother of a toddler though, so it was absolutely essential that I find a way to make a healthy, homemade lasagna that doesn’t take […]
Vegan Slow-Cooker Green Chili
So you made my slow-cooker carnitas, now what do you do with them? You can’t go wrong with a great green chili. Unless you are from a place where green chili is practically a food group (like Colorado), you may not know about the addiction which is green chili. Here in my home state, we find […]
Slow-Cooker Carnitas (Seitan)
Have you been wanting to try making your own seitan, but it sounds like a complicated process? Not looking forward to all that foil wrapping and baking? If that describes you, I have a really great surprise for you. Ready for it? You can make an amazing seitan roast in your slow-cooker! It is so […]
