Baked Vegan Mac and Cheese

March 13, 2018 by Ariel 4 Comments


Baked Vegan Mac and CheeseBaked Vegan Mac and Cheese… Warm, crispy, creamy mac and cheese. Comfort food, anyone?

Mac and Cheese seems to be a staple in the diet of most average kids (at least in America). I remember standing on a kitchen chair so I could stir the butter, milk, and cheese packet into my Kraft mac and cheese as a kid. I also remember my Aunt’s incredibly yummy homemade mac and cheese (still working on recreating that one…). And I remember some not-so-good attempts at making a vegan version (which usually ended up clumpy and tasting a lot like the pimentos that made it orange).

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!

Vegan Banana Cream Pie

March 9, 2018 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Vegan Banana Cream PieHappy 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!

This vegan banana cream pie is started off with a crunchy graham cracker crust (the best beginning to any chilled pie, in my opinion). The filling is made from a super-easy vanilla pudding, and fluffy coconut whipped topping. Add more coconut whipped topping and some fresh bananas on top, and *Woah*… I bet you’ll be coming back for another slice. 😉 Or, you could be like my husband, and eat 3 slices for breakfast. Win-win….

Unbelievable Vegan Cheese Sauce

February 26, 2018 by Ariel 4 Comments


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!

It’s creamy, smooth, melty, and savory. And the best part is that it’s FULL of veggies – which means that you don’t have to feel one bit guilty when eating [lots of] it….

The Best Homemade Vegan Ranch

February 18, 2018 by Ariel 7 Comments


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!

This ranch works great as a dip or a dressing. Thick, creamy, tangy, herby… It hits the spot. Not only is it yummy, it’s SUPER easy to make and includes 9 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard or fridge. Plus, it is SO much cheaper to make your own than to buy a pre-made vegan dressing….

Garden Fresh Kale Salad

February 9, 2018 by Ariel 2 Comments


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.
But in happier news, I have a yummy recipe to keep you fueled during these cold winter days. This Garden Fresh Kale Salad is chock full of nutrients, and takes mere minutes to make. Let’s dive in!

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…) …

Quinoa Tofu Breakfast Scramble

September 7, 2017 by Ariel Leave a Comment


Allow me to introduce my latest food obsession: Quinoa.

Yes, it’s yummy. But the best part? There are 8 grams of protein in each cup! Plus, it is a complete protein, which means that it includes all of the nine essential amino acids the body needs. That is just the kind of food that I want to be including in my diet! So I set out to discover different ways to work it into our meals….

Vegan Lemon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

August 24, 2017 by Ariel 2 Comments


They say that desperation is the mother of invention, and I can attest to the truth of that statement. A few months ago, a friend asked me to bake the cake for her wedding [read: over 250 cupcakes, plus a cake]. Lemon was one of the three flavors she requested. I had never made a lemon cake before, and couldn’t find one online that I liked… So what’s a girl to do? Create her own recipe, of course!…

Blueberry Scones

August 1, 2017 by Ariel 2 Comments


I love scones. Warm, crumbly, moist, buttery scones. However, I used to think every scone was dry and hard. Thankfully, I quickly learned that I had a preconceived idea that was very wrong. If made right, scones are absolutely delicious. And these blueberry scones are no exception!…
