Vegan Blueberry Cake

I just can’t get enough of blueberries this time of year. And while I’m happy to gobble up fresh blueberries by the handful, I really enjoy creative ways of working them into desserts. This vegan blueberry cake is my latest creation and I absolutely fell in love with it on first taste. I did things a little differently from my other blueberry sweets though. I usually like to pair blueberries with lemony flavors....

Vegan Cobb Salad

Has it been a while since I shared a salad recipe? It sure feels like it, and in any event the time is right, with us being just one day into summer. I suppose I can manage the long journey to fall if the food is at least good. I love salad, but if I’m making a meal of it, it better be a seriously good salad. I love remakes of classics (check out my taco salad and Caesar salad recipes if you do too!...

This casserole fits the bill! And it has polenta, which gets it extra points in my book....

15 Amazing Lamb Recipes

What We Love About Lamb Lamb is such a great way to break up the chicken-pork-beef-fish rotation that we fall into so easily.

The way the lamb was raised (especially the diet it was fed) also affects how strong or mild the lamb flavor in your dish will be, but in general it’s a little gamey and a little smokey....

Is it because I made tender, moist apple cider donuts, spiced up to here with warm autumn spices, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and drizzled with a pomegranate glaze? No! Is it because I had a moment when I first tasted these babies, a moment where I dropped my chin and widened my eyes in disbelief that they could so rich, moist, baked and vegan? No! Is it because I sent the rest to work with O (because you know what would happen if I kept them in the kitchen) and they were scarfed down in three minutes flat?...

Broccoli Rabe Soup

In a way, it’s surprising though that until today I hadn’t featured one of my favorite greens in a soup: broccoli rabe.

I’ve never seen it featured in a soup, and for the most part I enjoy it sautéed with garlic alongside pasta. But it’s actually an excellent star ingredient for soup....
