Sweet Potato & Chorizo Plate w/ Vegan Nacho Sauce
Meet my new favorite dish. I. am. in. love. So many of my favorite things here! Sweet potatoes, soy chorizo, avocadoes, some spicy goodness, and melty vegan cheddar. But this sauce. GAH! It’s incredible. This was one of those risky recipes, where a total and utter flop would not have surprised me. I took my…

Strawberry Orange Spa Water
Yes, I’m basically posting water as a recipe today. But I promise it’s really really good water. Does that help? The hotel where I stayed in Monterey had a giant container of this infused water in the lobby. I didn’t notice it until my second day there, and I managed to have MANY cups of…

Classic Sugar Cookies
One of my all-time favorite recipes has finally arrived! I can’t even believe I’ve never posted this. These cookies are super basic and have been a regular for me since I was little. The recipe comes from my very first cookbook, Williams Sonoma Kids Cooking. It was a really fun book when I was little. …

Spinach & Artichoke Dip Pizza
Super simple recipe alert here. This doesn’t even require a recipe, really. Make my spinach and artichoke dip (I looooove it, it’s one of my favorite recipes on this blog), spread it on a pizza dough. The end.

Cranberry Jelly Moscow Mule
Got some leftover cranberry jelly? If not, you should probably go get some…. This scrumptiously sweet and kind-of sour cocktail is such a fun way to use up leftover Thanksgiving jelly, but I think it’s a gorgeous festive drink that will last through the rest of the holiday season. Cranberry is definitely still Christmas-y, and just…

Guava Berry Smoothie
I can’t even believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted a smoothie recipe. I blame the changing seasons that made me crave homemade bread and other baked goods and warming soups and curries. I’m apparently not the only one who’s been craving less-than-healthy goodies. Preston realized this weekend that his unhealthy cravings have been…

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. …
