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 …
Perfect, chewy, comforting and guilt-free soft baked pretzels
These Gingerbread cookies are incredible. The perfect cookie when you want something comforting, and special enough to feel like a celebratory treat. These are based on my Chewy Gingerbread Spice Cookies, but without sugar and using less ginger so it wouldn’t become overpowering. You could roll them into balls and press softly with a glass …
Last night as I was tucking my 7 year-old into bed, she said, “Mom, will you make chili for dinner tomorrow? I LOVE your chili.” What mama could resist that? This recipe is adapted from one my mother-in-law lovingly saved from me after she found out we were vegan. It originally called for oil and …

What I love about these pancakes is what I DON’T get from them- that blood sugar spike and then crash, and then feeling like I’m starving 2 hours later. I stopped eating pancakes years ago because I hated this feeling, and now that I’m oil-free vegan, I can finally get behind a good flapjack again. …
I had a craving for my mom’s goulash, but I didn’t want the hamburger, oil and salt. This recipe uses pinto beans for a delicious substitute. You can also use black beans, lentils, or experiment with textured vegetable protein for different results. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Inspired by my …
I’m on a mission to cook every vegetable in my kitchen in the Instant Pot. Well, every starchy, root veggie at least- I don’t see a reason for putting cucumber in it 😂 When I cooked beets in the Instant Pot for the first time, I was transformed. It was so easy! So quick! And …
This is one of our favorite after-dinner treats. We have added all kinds of fruit to the mix- and even eaten it without any other fruit but the banana base. Excellent with a bit of vanilla, or substitute with a bit of maple syrup or maple syrup flavoring for a completely different kick. This mixes …
