Orange Whiskey Brown Sugar Cake
I put whiskey in a cake. A really really nommy cake. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you may have noticed that I enjoy a boozy birthday cake. This past birthday I drenched a blueberry cake in Frangelico. The year before I drenched an almond cake in amaretto. I thought I’d keep with my boozy […]

Weeknight Coconut Curry Lentils
It’s the end of a long day and I get home from work hungry. I know I should cook a healthful meal. But I’m tired. I got up at the crack of dawn (after too little sleep, far too often) and worked out, then worked a full day, and now I just want to relax and nourish myself. So I head […]

Creamy Pumpkin Bisque
Happy official first day of fall!!!! Can you believe it is finally here?!?! I am so excited. I know it’s probably still hot and un-fall-like for many of you, but let’s ignore that for a day and celebrate. I actually will be enjoying some actual chilly weather today, because I’m in Yosemite this weekend! No, […]

Mint & Honey Tea Slushie
Back with a quasi-recipe, folks! I have been sipping on one favorite drink most of the summer: mint and honey tea. Yes, I eat honey. Sometimes. I’m a moody vegan when it comes to honey, I can’t really make up my mind, so I just eat honey where it’s harder to avoid or when I […]

Sweet Tomato Compote w/ Chick’n Scallopini
I have been meaning to make this for almost a year now. I have so many ideas for recipes that it can take a really really realllly long time to get around to actually doing them. Last October, I wrote many posts about Sacramento’s Vegan Chef Challenge. It’s an event where local non-vegan restaurants offer […]

Toasted Coconut Mocha Slushie
I told you during my Daily Things yesterday that I’m going to try to celebrate the end of summer a little more and appreciate it while it still lasts. So even though I can’t get pictures of tall boots, scarves, pumpkins, and orange leaves out of my mind, I’m going to focus on the fact […]

Blackberry Peach Sangria
I mentioned in my Daily Things that I’m trying to appreciate summer before I get too fall-excited. Well, sangria seems to be the perfect way to really appreciate summer, don’t you agree? I’ve got a few refreshing bevvies I want to post while it’s still a bazillion degrees outside, starting with this amazing concoction. Sangria […]

Weeknight Enchilada Lasagna
Now I know I’ve been raving and raving about how excited I am for fall. And that statement totally stands. It’s way true. But I definitely took for granted how amazing the long daylight hours this summer were, so that anything I made for dinner I could last minute snap some great pictures of to […]

Pistachio Tofu Pudding
This is a long overdue recipe. I promised it to y’all awhile back. I wish I had some great excuse, about how I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen trying to get this recipe just right but my trials failed. But no. I just had no idea where to start, so I procrastinated. And it feels like I’ve […]

Mint & Cucumber Cooler Green Juice
Quick juice recipe for you! All summer long, I was drinking more smoothies than juices. Which totally makes sense, it’s just what my body wanted. But lately I’ve been missing my green juice habit, so I’m trying to get back into it! I did some juice prep this weekend so I could make juicing a […]
