This vegan feta pasta is a dairy-free version of the famous, viral baked feta pasta recipe. It uses a homemade feta vegan made with tofu in place of regular feta. It’s high in protein, nutritious, and so easy to make! One of the last recipes that I prepared in my last apartment was this vegan feta pasta. I watched baked feta pasta go viral on social media in 2020 and 2021. I loved the looks of the dish. It was creamy, fresh and…

This vegan spinach rice salad is the best summer lunch! Made with brown rice and a lemony dressing, it’s nutritious, satisfying, and simple. I could probably eat a grain salad every day for lunch between the months of June and September. Grain salads keep me full, but they’re light and cooling enough to work for the hottest time of the year. They showcase whole grains, which are a cornerstone of plant-based diets and one of my very favorite things to eat. And they…

This vegan sheet pan gnocchi is an easy, hands-off dinner that is bursting with color and flavor. Roasting the vegetables and gnocchi separately ensures that the gnocchi stays nice and crispy. I joke a lot about how often I default to pasta for dinner. But what about gnocchi? Gnocchi is so good, so fast, and it’s filling and comforting in the same way that pasta is to me. But I just don’t think to buy or cook it as often. This vegan sheet…

Vegan buttermilk is the trick to making perfect vegan muffins, cakes, pancakes, cornbread, biscuits, and other quick breads. Learn how to make it with this simple recipe! I love any and all of the baked goods that qualify as quick breads. These include muffins, scones, cornbread, waffles and pancakes, banana bread and zucchini bread, many cakes, brownies, cookies, and more. All of these tasty breads use chemical leavening. They rise because of the chemical reactions that happen when a leavening agent—usually baking powder,…

This vegan dish of chickpeas à la King is cozy, comforting, and quite nostalgic for anyone who’s a fan of the traditional chicken recipe! It’s super quick and easy to make, and you can serve it over rice, toast, or whatever you like. I ate quite a few Stouffer’s frozen dinners growing up, and I loved them. I loved them specifically because they presented me with the classic, all-American comfort food dishes that my mom and grandmother didn’t tend to cook at home….

This vegan pasta primavera is lemony and creamy, yet light. It’s a perfect celebration of fresh, green spring produce, and it can be adapted for other seasons of the year, too. It has been blustery and brisk this week. It’s also that time of year when the heat stops coming up in the morning in my apartment in spite of the fact that it’s 40 degrees in the morning. Springtime in New York City can be a chilly season. All the more reason…

This is my favorite recipe for braised red cabbage! It’s tart, salty, and a little sweet, thanks to the addition of sliced apples. I don’t post a lot of vegetable side dishes on this blog. This isn’t really a conscious choice. It’s a product of my habits. More often than not, the vegetable sides that I serve with my dinners are very, very simple. Think steamed broccoli or kale, a little salad with whatever dressing I have in the fridge, or some seasonal…

This warm winter squash bowl is grounding, nourishing, and wholesome. It combines sweet, roasted winter squash with gently steamed kale and a slightly spicy harissa tahini dressing. Here we are, perched on the cusp of spring. But as is always the case where I live at this time of year, we’re flirting with a few spring-like days while also having a foot firmly planted in winter. I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I don’t hate winter one bit. Right now I’m actually…
