Tempeh & Cheddar Sandwich on Garlic Bread
Okay, I have a problem. A buttery toast problem. In that I love it too damn much. Melty Earth Balance on a hot piece of bread is hands-down one of my favorite snacks. Sometimes breakfast. Then they just had to go and make this:

Brown Sugar & Spice Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Quickie post with my sweet potato recipe from my friends Thanksgiving. Simple and yummy! I really wanted to make sage-spiced sweet potato rounds, but couldn’t find ground sage! So frustrating. So at the last minute, I just threw a few things in a bowl and tossed the potatoes up. Turned out wonderful.

Fix My Pics: Vanilla Bean Pumpkin Cheesecake
Don’t know what Fix My Pics means? Check out this post! Last Thanksgiving, I posted this pumpkin vanilla bean cheesecake. I absolutely love it. My guests, vegan and non-vegan alike, all love it (or at least that’s what they told me, and I didn’t see any cheesecake remnants leftover – save for this one piece […]

Mozzarella & Jam Panini
Preston’s weird Peanut Butter Grilled Cheese inspired me to re-create one of my old favorite weird-sandwich combos: a sandwich made with mozzarella cheese and jam. It’s so good! Maybe less weird than the peanut butter grilled cheese – just think about a traditional cheese plate. Fruit, jam, crackers, and cheese. Normal. Baked brie with jam. […]

Broccoli & Soy Curl Red Curry + “Homemade” Curry Paste
I already told you I’ve had an endless Thai curries craving. Well, that also had me on a search for the perfect Thai red curry paste. An excessive search. That had me in grocery stores too many times, which is really dangerous for me because I love grocery shopping and I want everything right now! […]

Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake
Another week, another loaf baked. Fall just brings out the baker in me. It will be an unofficial goal to post one baked good recipe a week for the rest of the fall/winter season. No promises, no pressure. But as long as this desire to bake keeps up, I’m going to keep frequently posting treats.

Avocado Polenta Toast Bites
I made a new version of avocado toast. Avocado on top of toasted polenta rounds! I am so happy with this creation. I had a partially-eaten tube of polenta in my fridge and thought “I had better think of some way to use this up! Maybe breakfast tomorrow…but wah, I want avocado toast for breakfast! […]

Hazelnut Sipping Chocolate
When you were little, did you ever make a batch of hot cocoa that was pretty much equal parts cocoa mix to water/milk? (Hope I’m not the only one…) Well, here’s the adult version. To make it sound like a classy adult-appropriate drink, we can call it “Sipping Chocolate” a la Trader Joe’s. I saw […]

Baked Lasagna Toss (aka Almost Lasagna)
I just HAD to make another recipe with the second half of this ricotta recipe. I can’t get over how much I love it. This is the recipe I thought I’d start with rather than my squash pasta, but as I mentioned I went all squash-crazy at the store, so plans changed. Now it’s time […]

Squash & Brussels Sprouts Pasta Salad w/ Brown Sugar Balsamic Vinaigrette
Long title, I know! But I just couldn’t imagine leaving anything out, every ingredient is a selling point with this dish. Roasted veggies, pasta, and a sweet-and-tangy vinaigrette = my new winning dish. Plus candied pecans! But enough was enough in the title 🙂 Just a quickie post for you today, jumping straight to the […]
