I love(d) Chick-fil-A. I know, I know! It’s not healthy, it’s not good for the environment, and it’s definitely not good for our social climate. But there’s something about it I crave–often intensely–until I sate what could’ve been a brisk but shameful dip into, let’s face it, some hateful junk food. Except when I say brisk, I actually mean we’d be sitting in line, out in the middle of one our city’s busiest streets, behind 40 other cars doing the same thing....

But, I’m here today to pitch to you why with just a few extra tweaks, these scrambled eggs will be the best you’ve ever had. Promise.

You probably already knew that Caesar salads aren’t vegan. Obviously that creamy dressing is loaded with dairy, and often eggs as well. But they’re usually not even vegetarian! The Caesar dressing is typically made with Anchovies, and the Parmesan cheese that gets sprinkled on top could be made with animal rennet. So I’m guessing there are lots and lots of folks out there who really could use a good vegan Caesar salad recipe....

This stuff will change your life. I was never a fan of bacon. In fact, it’s always weird for me when I would talk to other vegetarians who tell me bacon was the toughest thing for them to give up. I didn’t even like the stuff during my meat eating days as a kid. It grossed me out. Coconut bacon has everything that I consider to be good about bacon, and none of whatever it is that turns my stomach about the real stuff....

All summer long I look forward to butternut squash! Yes, you can technically get butternut squash year round, but it’s better in the fall. Plus it works so well in cozy fall dishes, like curry! I especially love butternut squash in Thai curries. It makes a great substitute for the potato that you’ll find in lots of Thai curries, and the mild sweetness goes really well with coconut milk....

It’s always around this time of year you see turkey here there and e v e r y w h e r e. I mean what with Christmas just around the corner, it does makes sense. And don’t get me wrong, I love me some turkey, but I also love putting a spin on traditional food. Oh, hello Sage and Cranberry Turkey Meatballs!

This flavorful take on chicken noodle soup combines cajun seasoning, juicy chicken, tangy diced tomatoes, and a creamy broth with tender ditalini pasta.

For a good kick, you might use another ½ tablespoon cajun seasoning....

🫙 What Makes This Recipe So Good If you’re like me, then combining chimichurri with ranch dressing is one of those OH-MY-GOD-WHY-IS-THIS-NOT-IN-EVERY-RESTAURANT-EVER kind of pairings. It takes two of your favorite sauces, and it brings them together in a never-saw-this-coming-but-it-makes-total-sense sort of mash-up where each component is delicious all on its own but together they become this Captain Planet of deliciousness that can right all wrongs. Ok, maybe not like… ALL wrongs....

Cream Cheese – Cutting the cream cheese into cubes helps it melt faster for a smooth finish. I used regular, but light is also fine. Salsa – I love using my homemade salsa verde here, but for these pictures I used store-bought to make it even easier. Any salsa will do! You can even use fresh salsa, or canned tomatoes with green chilies (a.k.a. Rotel). Shredded Cheese – I went with Monterey Jack cheese, but Colby Jack, queso blanco, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese would work, too....

What Makes This Recipe So Good If you’re anything like my family, your holiday meals aren’t complete if there’s not a big bowl of creamy green bean casserole topped with crispy, crunchy fried onions on the table. I mean, it’s tradition! I love a good green bean casserole as much as they do, but I don’t always have the time to devote valuable oven space to it.
