This oven-baked, smoky tofu is made with a simple marinade of soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and spices, including smoked paprika. You don’t need to purchase liquid smoke in order to make it, and you definitely don’t need a home smoker! The tofu is super versatile: use it in sandwiches or wraps, as a breakfast side, or as a protein component in salads and grain bowls. Seven or eight years ago, I found the SoyBoy brand of smoked tofu in a local…

This vegan salisbury steak with mushroom gravy is made with nutritious, satisfying tempeh. It’s an entirely homemade, plant-based version of the classic American comfort food dish. This is a hearty and cozy meal that’s perfect for winter and also a great option for the holidays. I have a soft spot for American comfort food classics. Specifically the types of recipes that have, and could, end up as TV dinners. The reason for this may be that I ate a lot of TV dinners…

These air fryer tempeh nuggets are smoky and savory little flavor bombs! Crispy and satisfying, they add vegan protein to any salad or bowl, as well as to pasta dishes and soups. I like to snack on them, too. I’ve included an oven cooking option for those who don’t have an air fryer at home. I spend a lot of time wondering how I could put my air fryer to more use. The things I use the air fryer for, I really use…

This homemade vegan liquid egg will be your secret weapon for plant-based omelets, breakfast sandwiches, and scrambles! It features simple, nutritious ingredients and can be stored for a few days in the fridge. Recently, I wrote about vegan meal prep breakfasts. It made me think about the fact that my own breakfasts have been a little repetitive lately. That’s a norm for me in the summer. When tomatoes are perfect, all I seem to want are bagels or toast with hummus or avocado…

This is my favorite recipe for tempeh “bacon,” a smoky, salty staple in my sandwiches, wraps, salads, breakfast plates, and more. This tempeh is versatile, easy to prepare, and a great source of vegan protein. Staple foods and plant-based basics continue! If you missed this weekend’s weekend reading post, I came down with the flu on Saturday. I’m bouncing back, thanks in part to the Tamiflu that I qualified for when I went in to urgent care. But the first few days were…

5 Ways with Greek Yoghurt

Greek yoghurt is high in protein, all-natural, and makes for a fabulous substitution for a lot of other less-healthy ingredients in baking and cooking. I was never really a big fan of yoghurt until I tried the Greek versions – it’s strained to produce a thicker, creamier texture. Not dissimilar to loosely whipped cream, the stiffness…
