Char Siu Bao
Vegan dim sum?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??! YES! These are a rare treat! Now that I’m vegan and can’t find restaurant or store-bought ones, they’re an even rarer treat. But that is also extra motivation to make them at home, because they’re just better home made. They just are. Although I’m yet to get them as pretty homemade a […]

Soy Chorizo Stuffed Mushrooms
Cute little stuffed mushroom caps! Filled with the amazing wonderfulness that is soy chorizo, one of my favorite ingredients of all time. I can just brown a little soy chorizo in a pan and eat it with a fork. But it’s not a very nutritious ingredient, so I like to mix it with all these […]

Leftover Makeover: Crispy "Fried" Ravioli
Crispy ravioli? Wasn’t my last post ravioli? I warned you I was doing a post for the leftovers! Actually, I was supposed to post it yesterday, but after a long week of working and trying to unpack, I passed out! Sorry for the wait! This is the first of a new feature I’m calling […]

Whole Wheat Spinach & Cheese Ravioli
Homemade. Vegan. Whole wheat. Ravioli. Ummmmmm . . . enough said. I saw Giada DeLaurentiis make homemade ravioli on the Food Network, and she made it look ridiculously easy. So I figured this is a great solution to the lack of vegan ravioli in my life – is it just me, or is […]

Peanutty Soba Noodle Salad
Slicing veggies aside, this is a really quick meal to throw together. Especially if you use precooked refrigerated soba noodles like I did. And it’s great cold, so you can make extras to take to work for lunch!

Caramelized Onion & Roasted Garlic Veggie Pizza
Here’s a dinner I made last week that I was supposed to post much earlier this week! It was a wonderful pizza that I think I’ll have to remake ASAP . . . There are a few frozen cheese-less veggie pizzas out there that have this incredibly amazing sauce instead of marinara. If you’ve had […]

Wasabi Mashed Potatoes w/ Sweet Glazed Tempeh
Please meet: my perfect lunch. I used up my last package of tempeh making this, and was just itching to buy more so I could repeat this meal. I work from home these days, so I am fortunate to be able to make myself a hot healthy lunch everyday. But I don’t want […]

Vegetable Pot Pies
There’s really not much to say. Pot pie is one of the ultimate comfort foods. I wanted to make a healthy vegan version, but the thought of losing the amazing flaky crust for something less guilt-inducing was just devastating. So I settled for a super healthy filling and a nice big splurge on top. I […]

Crispy Baked Samosas w/ Cilantro Raita
Yes! Samosas that are just as crispy and flavorful as the deep-fried buttery pastry you get at a restaurant. Except without the butter, oil, or self-loathing once you’ve devoured one. The secret: filo dough! A brilliant Cooking Light solution.

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Pesto
I am so excited about this recipe – not just because it’s yummy, but because it was born of me trying to use up some leftovers, and it came together so well. Last week I was out of town visiting my parents. Before I left, I went through my fridge and used up what […]
