  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Cheddar Broccoli Potato Fritters

    This was a thrown-together weeknight dinner gone very very right.  These are a fairly decadent little meal, but a great treat that you totally deserve.  Or you can throw it on a big plate of greens and feel a lot less guilty about it.  That’s my style 🙂 I bought a can of peeled white…

  • (Raw) Ranch Kale Chips

    I am absolutely in love with making kale chips with some serious crunchy coating.  I started with my cheesy nacho variety and now it’s time for ranch!  I have no idea what’s next, but it’s going to happen soon.  These are satisfying and delicious treats.  I may or may not have had lunch a couple…

  • Buffalo Cauliflower Wings + Ranch Sauce

    I officially found my favorite way to eat cauliflower.  Battered, baked, and covered in buffalo sauce.  Obviously. This is a delicious recipe I found on An Edible Mosaic, which I just discovered this week and can’t stop looking at!  There are a lot of vegan and vegetarian (easily veganized) dishes on this site, plus some…

  • Sweet Curried Carrot Slaw

    I have a couple friends who raved about this curry carrot salad at the Co-Op in Sacramento.  They love it.  Crave it.  Tell me I must must must try it. I went.  They were out.  A few times. Finally I got this salad a couple weeks ago. Meh.

  • June Salad Challenge + Basil Gnocchi + Roasted Asparagus Salad

      Ohmygosh it’s June already! Can you believe it? I am done with all the posts about myself, but I really did enjoy having a blogging challenge last month.  This month I’m giving myself a new challenge: a salad a day.  I always aim for a salad a day, but it’s usually just a goal…

  • Cheesy Nacho Kale Chips

    Like a good vegan girl, I love love love kale chips. I will happily eat a bunch of kale in the form of those light-and-airy home-baked ones with a little oil and simple flavorings (like my Sweet Onion Kale Chips.)  But I’m also crazy for those covered-in-sauce, really crunchy store-bought chips.  But they are so…

  • Baked & Stuffed Artichokes

      Artichoke season is starting!  I cannot tell you how absurdly excited I am.  This is my favorite time of the year. Not because of the beautiful trees turning green and flowers blooming and long days so I can finally go outside and do fun things. Because of the artichokes.
