Tahini Beet Dressing
This sweet and tangy tahini beet dressing will brighten up your salads and bowls with its beautiful pink color! I’m writing this post as an impressive snow storm carries on outside my window. It snowed through the night, it was snowing when I woke up this morning, and it’s supposed to keep snowing tomorrow. I love snow, and I love winter. But while it’s all shades of gray, white, and black outside, it’s nice to have something colorful and vibrant on my plate….

Cashew Parmesan Cheese
This four-ingredient vegan cashew parmesan cheese is my go-to recipe for topping pasta, salads, grain bowls, toast, and more! There’s no shortage of crumbly, cheese vegan toppings in my life. I’ve made plant-based “parmesan” using hemp seeds and walnuts. There’s a cashew parmesan recipe in Power Plates, too. Lately, though, I’ve been streamlining the Power Plates parm. I’m using fewer ingredients, which is indicative of how much I’m trying to streamline my cooking in general. My patience for cooking has actually decreased with…

Nasoya’s Plantspired Meal Solutions allow you to create fast, flavor-forward, and nutritious plant-based meals in no time! The last few weeks of December are always busy.

Silken Tofu Chocolate Pudding
Silken tofu chocolate pudding is an easy-to-make vegan dessert that tastes rich, but uses nutritious, protein-packed silken tofu as a base. Let’s wrap up the year with something sweet, yes? There’s a lot of pressure to relinquish sweets at this time of year. Online recipe content switches suddenly from holiday treats to wholesome, sensible fare for a new year.

These whole wheat raisin bars are one of them. I had the idea for the recipe in my mind. I suspected I’d like them.

The Best Vegan Gingerbread Cake
This is an unfussy, uncomplicated, delightful vegan gingerbread cake. It’s light and airy, not dense, and every bite is infused with ginger and cinnamon. I know it takes a little moxie to call a recipe “the best” anything. I also know that there’s really no “best” version of a dish. Especially a classic, beloved dish. Taste is so subjective. But sometimes it’s hard to contain one’s excitement about a recipe. And I really, really love this vegan gingerbread cake. So I can’t help…

Turmeric Chai Latte Mix
No coffee shop necessary to enjoy a sweet and spicy winter drink. This DIY turmeric chai latte mix will warm you up at home! At some point last spring, just when coffee shops were starting to reopen for takeaway orders, I fell in love with a turmeric chai latte at one of my local coffee shops. It was warming and assertively spiced. But it wasn’t aggressive with ginger, as some turmeric drinks can be. The latte was gently sweetened. Creamy and comforting, it…

Vegan Nantucket cranberry pie is inspired by Laurie Colwin’s classic recipe. It’s a cake, not a pie, and it couldn’t be easier to make! The perfect last minute holiday dessert.

Mini Sweet Potato Casseroles
Mini sweet potato casseroles are perfect for an intimate, one or two-person Thanksgiving celebration. This Thanksgiving is different in a lot of ways. But the excuse to make sweetly portioned, one and two-person recipes, has been sort of fun. Especially since my mom and I are two-person holiday veterans.
