Hey everyone!! Summer was a little late in coming up north where we live, but the heatwave this weekend left no doubt in our mind that it has arrived. Add high humidity to the high temps, and it’s a wonder we didn’t all melt. Oh, and did I mention we don’t have air conditioning? Thankfully it’s dropped back to “normal” temps again, and hopefully for the rest of the States, too!
The hot weather had me making some of my favorite fresh recipes, and I could hardly wait to share this one with you! If you are looking for a quick, easy and delicious summer meal (and who isn’t?!) I have just the solution to your summer meal planning quandary: this Chickpea Chicken Style Salad!…
However, I’ve also had some incredible vegan mac and cheese. And let’s just say, I really hope that this recipe makes it on your list of favorites!
Happy Friday, friends! March 2nd was supposedly National Banana Cream Pie Day (who knew there was such a thing?). I’m joining in on the festivities (better late than never!) with a vegan twist on this classic dessert!
Something I’ve missed since becoming vegan is cheese. So when a teacher in high school made a cheese sauce that almost perfectly resembled nacho cheese, I was floored. And kept going back for more. 😉 I’ve been working on tweaking and perfecting a recipe since then, and am very happy to share this truly unbelievable vegan cheese sauce with you!
Happy Thursday you all! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful week. I don’t know about you, but between early mornings and chasing a toddler around, eating a good breakfast is not only incredibly important to me (and my family), but fast and healthy options are just as important!
These easy vegan overnight oats are one of our favorite go-to options for busy mornings. There are SO many different variations to these, but today I am going to share a SUPER easy option with only 7 ingredients that can be whipped up in a flash the night before, and customized to your heart’s desire. 😉 Plus, they are full of fiber and protein, and the oats provide a kick of energy to hold you through the morning. Oh – and you’ll have less dishes to wash after breakfast. Win-win! …
I love a good ranch dressing… On salad, pizza, burgers, mac and cheese… You get the picture. Since becoming vegan, however, I’ve been hard-pressed to find a vegan ranch that I really like! So, I set out to fix the problem once and for all… Allow me to introduce the BEST homemade vegan ranch!
With Valentine’s Day coming up in just two days, the stores are full of hearts, candy, and flowers for that “special someone.” Meanwhile, those of us who think a lot about food have had sweet treats on our mind… But sometimes we focus so much on dessert for Valentine’s Day, that we forget about the other meals! I mean… We still have to eat. 😉 Allow me to share an easy, [semi] healthy granola recipe that is decadent enough to serve for breakfast in bed!
You guys… I am SO EXCITED about this Double Dark Chocolate Granola! It is seriously SO perfect. Crispy-tender, chocolatey, not too sweet… And it almost melts in your mouth. Plus, chocolate for breakfast??? Who WOULDN’T be excited about that? …
Happy February, everyone!! It’s hard to believe that January has already come and gone… I have a feeling that 2018 is going to go by even quicker than 2017 did. Yikes.
The ingredients required are basic, and can also be switched up as desired. You could use a yellow or orange pepper instead of a red one, add some tomato, a handful of sunflower or hemp seeds, or just about any other favorite veggie or topping. The key to this salad is to keep it simple, nutritious, and delicious. (Now if only everything else in life were that easy…) …
Happy January, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your family! I know, I’m a little late… After traveling all over the country for 3 weeks, I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. But I have a yummy recipe to start your year off that is more than worth the wait.
