Fall is officially upon us! And I know lots of you guys aren’t with me on this, but I couldn’t be happier. Fall is my favorite time of year, and summer (which just ended) is my least favorite. So it’s kind of a double win for me. Whether you’re a fan of the season or not, I’m guessing you’re down with some spicy pumpkin deliciousness, right? Most folks seem to be....

I love fresh summer corn, but I always think of corn chowder as being wintry. It is soup after all, and it’s thick and rich and creamy. This Thai corn chowder is perfect for summer though. It gets just a bit of richness from coconut milk, which is beautifully complimented by fresh garden herbs and the flavor of some flaming hot Thai red curry paste. If you’re like me and enjoy a good bowl of soup year round, I highly encourage you to give this one a try while it’s warm out and fresh produce items like corn and peppers are at their peak!...

I’m certainly not the first person to make feta cheese out of tofu. In fact, it’s been a thing for a while, and for the most part, I’ve been dubious of the whole idea. I love tofu, but I recognize that it has its place and I just didn’t think it could make a legit tasting feta cheese. But people kept telling me it was awesome and I that needed to try it and post a recipe, so I decided to give it a go....

Tomatillos are the late summer veggie that you probably don’t have enough of in your life. I sure don’t! But I sure do love just about every tomatillo dish I’ve ever tried, including my very own vegan chile verde and white bean enchiladas. I was craving some zesty tomatillo flavor, and soup came to mind. We are heading into autumn after all, and this soup is light enough for those last few warm days, but also comforting enough for chilly nights....

My second pregnancy has been so different from my first and completely the same, all at once. People said, “Oh, with the second, you’ll be so relaxed you won’t care about anything! And the nursery won’t be done until she’s 3 months old. And you’ll remember exactly what to do!” Yeah, no to all of those. I’m actually more paranoid with this pregnancy, to the point that I called my doctor something like 10 times from Paris after I accidentally ate a lot of foie gras and raw Camembert....

I’ve recently started a series called ‘Family Comforts’ where I’m sharing recipes from those who inspire me the most. Today we’re tucking into my Uncle Phil’s chicken and bacon pasta bake! I’ve tried this a couple of times since he showed me it recently and can tell you it is ridiculously good. Too good not to share in fact! For a little more back story check out the video in the recipe card below 😄...

Apple fritters are the ultimate fall treat. They’re crispy on the outside, lightly spiced, filled with gooey apple chunks, and absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee. Maybe you’ve never thought of making your own vegan apple fritters? They do, after all require deep frying. Don’t be scared though! Deep frying is easier than you think, and I’ll lead you through the process below. All things considered, these treats are actually pretty easy to make....

Ever since I first learned that there is such a thing as soup made of beer and cheese, I’ve wanted to veganize it. I psyched myself out for a while and put it off, and then October rolled around. It seemed like the right time to go for it! I think traditional cheddar beer soup is an Oktoberfest thing, but I know very little about beer, so I could be totally wrong about that....

I know a bunch of people are going to ask me why I need to use “chicken” in the title of this recipe. I’ve address the issue before, but in this case, I think some extra explanation is warranted. The “chicken” in this soup is tofu. And “cream of tofu soup” just sounds like a terrible, terrible thing. As much as I love tofu, I’d never in a million years make cream of tofu soup....

And if you’re reading this and you’ve never had peanut butter bars before, well you are certainly in for a treat. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is pure magic, as you probably know if you’ve tried my vegan peanut butter blossoms, peanut butter frosted chocolate cupcakes, or peanut butter blackstrap molasses chocolate chip muffins. These bars really put that flavor blend on center stage. They actually taste like peanut butter cups....

Am I the only one who is feeling a little off today? I get the whole daylight savings thing and all, but kind of messes me up for a few days. I tend to think of it as my annual daylight savings hangover. Or jet lag. Flu. Something. Whatever it is, I just won’t be right for a while. I know. I’m a wimp (or a delicate flower as a former coworker put it)....

We love vegan sushi rolls in my house! We love ordering them, and I love making them. Particularly during the summer months, I’m all about whipping up recipes like my smoked tofu sushi, sweet potato sushi, and shiitake mushroom sushi. I do like to change things up once in a while, and that’s where these vegan sushi bowls come in. While stuffing a hand roll seems like no more a chore at this point than constructing a black bean burrito or filling a sandwich, throwing the ingredients in a bowl seems like a fun way to shake things up....

Oh how I missed that soup. Not too long ago I started spotting vegan tortellini in the plant-based section of the supermarket. I started making it right away, and it was every bit as delicious as I remember! I waited a while before sharing a recipe, just because I wasn’t sure if vegan tortellini would be available in other locations. At this point I’ve seen it at at least three stores in my area, so I decided it was time to go for it....

There are certain cuisines that are very vegetarian or vegan-friendly. Such cuisines either have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options or it’s very easy to convert their non-vegetarian dishes into vegetarian or vegan versions with minor modifications. In such cuisines, a lot of recipes have vegan or vegetarian key ingredients, so even skipping meat doesn’t make much of a difference. After trying different recipes from all over the world, I found that the top two countries in this vegan and vegetarian-friendly category are India and Mexico....

What Makes This Recipe So Good It all comes together in just one bowl! This means easy assembly, and even easier cleanup. No need to dirty a bunch of dishes for this white bean salad recipe.It’s super healthy and loaded with good-for-you ingredients! Fresh cucumber, tomato, and red onion are all tossed in this easy lunch or dinner. It’s also tossed in a light olive oil, lemon juice, and dried herb dressing!...

🥫 What Makes This Recipe So Good This Whole30 meatloaf is so good, you’d never know it’s not a traditional family favorite recipe! It’s compatible with many dietary preferences or restrictions by being gluten free, dairy free, grain free, paleo, low carb and keto. And it has zero added sugar too. But without sacrificing any its delicious comfort food status! It couldn’t be any easier to make! Which is a huge plus, as doing a Whole30 can come with lots of time in the kitchen....

My mom’s side of the family is Italian. I went vegetarian at thirteen. This could be really good or really bad. On a good day growing up, there were personal lasagnas loaded with veggies, or even my very own batch of eggplant meatballs. On a bad day, it meant the meatballs (and not the eggplant kind) were cooked in the sauce, and me dining on plain noodles. I recently was given a review copy of Fresh Italian Cooking for the New Generation by Alexandra Caspero Lenz of the blog Delish Knowledge....
