Apple Pie Sweet Potato Breakfast
I had such a fun Saturday morning breakfast this weekend! I was really tempted to eat a slice of apple pie for breakfast. But sometimes I just want to cook. Okay, a lot of the time. So I made myself a pie-reminiscent breakfast. But with a bit more nutrition too 🙂 I baked a sweet […]

Savory Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
I posted a recap of my trip to Apple Hill the weekend before last. It actually didn’t take much convincing to get Preston to go with me. He was fairly excited for orchards, wineries, and food. Who wouldn’t be?! Of course, he did seem to realize that he would be forced to go regardless of […]

Mocha Cappuccino Mousse
This morning I wanted a special Sunday coffee drink while I cozied up on my couch to read some blogs for awhile. Feeling a little pumpkin-ed out, I decided to recreate the mocha cappuccino mousse I had last weekend at Tower Bridge Bistro for their Vegan Chef Challenge. My version isn’t quite as rich, […]

Havarti Hasselback Potatoes
I have been meaning to jump on the hasselback potato bandwagon for a long time, but just haven’t gotten around to it. Now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! I was munching on some of that amazing Daiya havarti cheese and decided that I really need to cook with it more often instead […]

Truffled Cauliflower Soup
My office was so cold yesterday that I ran home and immediately started cooking soup before my fingers even had the chance to thaw out. Hooray for warming, comforting soup all season long that is packed with vegetables and therefore one of the most guiltless comfort foods around.

Ginger-Garlic Tofu Salad
Folks, it’s been a really long time since I posted a salad recipe. It’s because I haven’t been eating them nearly as much as usual either….oops. My normal salad appeal has just not been there lately. I’ve had plenty of veggies – roasted, in soups, cooked into all the curry dishes I’ve been eating […]

Aloo Gobi Masala (Indian Potato Cauliflower Curry)
Got a quickie recipe review for you folks! I had planned on being creative and working on one of my own recipes tonight, but I just was not up for it. I wanted a fast and easy Sunday night recipe, so I pulled up a recipe that I’ve had bookmarked forever and gave it a […]

Pumpkin & Almond Croissants
Yes, yet another pumpkin recipe! Trader Joe’s is selling pumpkin croissants this year. I want them. They are not vegan. Fine! I will make my own. Take that, Trader Joe’s! I made a quickie version that is ridiculously fast, super satisfying, and a really fun fall breakfast. Or dessert!

Sweet & Spicy Sauteed Plantains
Secret time: this is the first time I’ve tried plantains – I have been terrified of them until now! I don’t know why, either. No good reason. Over the last couple years, my taste has changed completely and I really love almost all fruits and veggies now. And I’m not scared to try new things […]

Coconut Red Curry Pumpkin Risotto
The pumpkin continues!!! I’ve had a couple serious cravings lately. The first is Thai curries. A few weeks ago Preston ordered some from a restaurant directly across the street from my apartment. I’m pretty sure there’s crack in it, because ever since I stole just a few bites of that red curry, I have been dyyyyying for as much […]
