If you’re craving lasagna, especially during the first year or so of transitioning to no-oil vegan, you might do what I did- and make a fake-meat lasagna with textured vegetable protein (TVP). I made it once- and never again. It just didn’t land for me. I gave up on lasagna altogether, knowing some things just …
I intentionally buy extra bananas, hoping I get a few that stay on the counter until they’re spotted brown so I can make this recipe. This morning, I had just the bunch, and quickly whipped up a batch. Inspired by the recipe Dr. Esselstyn’s book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, I’ve heavily modified this version …
As autumn draws near, I’ve slowed down on summer’s berries and melons and have started to look for more seasonal vegetables. The vibrant orange of this sweet potato and carrot soup will make your dinner table glow. The curry spices this soup beautifully, and the apple and maple syrup tone it down just right. Feel …
A vegetarian friend sent me a version of this enchilada pasta recipe that included cheese and sour cream. Of course, I couldn’t let that stand- I had to make my own vegan version. Sometimes that works out, and sometimes it just doesn’t taste right. This recipe, however, is so good the way I make it …
This is one of my favorite fast and easy lunches. It takes only about 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes you to chop a few mushrooms and garlic, and the turmeric makes it a wonderful anti-inflammatory meal. Instead of slamming your system with food that tears you down, this is a great midday …
This roasted cauliflower is great on its own as a side dish, but I especially love it the next day, cold from the fridge, on a bed of salad and spread with salsa. They are meaty and hearty and filling, with a great texture and flavor. You can add cauliflower to almost any dinner dish- …
I missed the soothing, “everything’s-right-with-the-world” feeling of homemade chicken noodle soup- but I definitely didn’t want the oil, chicken, or mega-salt load of the canned stuff I remember from childhood. This recipe tastes just as comforting as my memory, and feels 100% healthier. Pair with a great cornbread or biscuit for heartier appetites. Notes: You …
I love gravy, and until I made this recipe I hadn’t found anything that rivaled the good ol’ fashioned gravy I remember eating from SAD (standard American diet) days. This is so good, I can’t keep it in the fridge- we want to put it on everything from salads to biscuits, mashed potatoes to toast! …
When I first took a bite of these golden puffs of heaven, I felt like I’d completely won the vegan baking award: I’d succeeded in making a perfect oil- and butter-free biscuit. I usually make these with cinnamon to give them a bit of a sweet taste- but if you’re making these to hold vegan …
I love cabbage, especially red cabbage chopped up in one of my favorite soups. When I threw a couple of ideas out to my husband, his vote was cabbage rolls, so cabbage rolls it was! These turned out way better and more flavorful than I thought they would, and now my fridge is stocked with …
