Pasta Al Pomodoro If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while you’ll know that most of my pasta recipes contain a whole cup of cream and about 37 blocks of cheese. Today we’re going for something a little different. Still a recipe you’ll absolutely fall in love with never the less 😁 What is Pasta Pomodoro? Pasta Pomodoro is a celebration of the tomato (‘pomodoro’ means ‘tomato’ in Italian)....
What Makes This Recipe So Good The sous vide does all the hard work! Simply place all ingredients in a bag, drop them into your sous vide bath, and return to perfectly cooked turkey breasts every time. This easy dinner recipe is totally foolproof!It’s intensely moist and flavorful. By sealing your turkey breast in with all its seasonings, then cooking it low and slow for 3 hours, the meat absorbs as much flavor as possible....
I always get really nervous when I post recipes like this. One, because it’s weird. Making vegan versions of meat-based dishes out of ingredients that don’t, at least on first glance, resemble meat at all, is weird. And I’m always afraid of scaring people away. But please don’t run! There are a million ways to replicate meat sauce and I’ve posted many on this blog. But this one is different....
Have you ever made your own cranberry sauce? It’s so easy! Like, ridiculously easy. There was a time when I thought homemade cranberry sauce was fancy and probably a big project to make, but it’s not. Case in point: go out and buy a bag of fresh cranberries, then read the recipe for cranberry sauce on the back. Basically, boil some cranberries, sugar and water for ten minutes. That’s all you have to do to make cranberry sauce!...
If you’re looking to (quite literally) spice up your potato salad game, then look no further. This Cajun potato salad is the ultimate pot luck dish that never fails to impress! Follow me… Baby Potatoes Baby potatoes have got very thin skin and a nice creamy texture, which makes them perfect in a potato salad. Boiling Baby Potatoes When it comes to boiling the baby potatoes, as you can imagine it’s a fairly straightforward process....
It’s all pretty messed up when I think about it. My first few batches of cranberry sauce were just about as bad as the canned variety. The basic cranberry sauce recipe follows the same basic formula as this recipe, but the ingredients are limited to cranberries, water and white sugar. So it doesn’t come out of a can, and the berries themselves are detectable (as opposed to being a big jiggly heap of sweetenss), but aside from that, I can’t say it’s much better than the prepackaged stuff....
I’m all about pasta dinners. Pretty much always have been! But one thing that’s changed over the years: my preferred veggie to pasta ratio has gone way up. My favorite pasta dishes are filled with veggies. Pasta by itself is great and all, but these days my favorite pasta sauces aren’t even really sauces — they’re more like mixes of chunky veggies with some interspersed sauce. I was looking for something along those lines when I created this eggplant pasta recipe....
What Is Tahini Sauce? Tahini sauce is a creamy Mediterranean or Middle Eastern sauce made from ground sesame seeds and common pantry staples. The flavor is somewhat similar to hummus. Tahini paste by itself is like a nut butter in texture, but tahini sauce is thinner and used for drizzling over vegetables, salads, meats, and more. Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for homemade tahini sauce, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options....

You would never know this pizza dough was whole wheat! That’s partly because I cheated. I used half whole wheat flour. Does that make this half wheat pizza dough? No, it doesn’t. The “whole” in whole wheat refers to the use of the whole grain in the flour, as opposed to flour in which part of the grain has been removed, as is the case with white or all-purpose flour....
If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be creating pizzas out of tortilla wraps for a living, I’d have been too confused to even laugh. But here we are 🤣 Follow me… Tortilla Wrap Hack Like most trends on the internet, I’m usually a year or two late to try it. There’s only a handful that have grabbed my attention over the years and this is definitely one of them....
I grew up eating BLT sandwiches, and I liked them. But this vegan BLT is way better than any conventional BLT I’ve ever had. This version is made with crispy toast — preferably sourdough, which is the best sandwich bread in my humble opinion. It’s also got the essentials: romaine lettuce and fresh tomatoes. But this is where the similarities with a traditional BLT end. My vegan BLT also includes smoky tempeh bacon, which I think is far superior to regular bacon....
I’m not usually much of a pie baker. Pie just tends to be a little bit fussy for me! But there are exceptions, and this is one of them. Blueberry pie is one of my favorites, not only because it’s so delicious, but also because it’s one of the easiest pies to make. Crust is the most complicated part of this one, and you have the option of making it yourself, or buying it at the store....
You know, a lot of people just don’t like coconut. It’s one of those really polarizing foods! And I feel confident that none of those people are here now, which is why I can say this: those people are crazy. If I ever forget just how nuts those folks are, this pie will remind me. And I’ll probably be reminded often because I’m addicted to this pie. This vegan coconut cream pie recipe is a coconut lover’s (i....
A friend of mine recently expressed interest in a more plant-based diet and requested information about my weekly shopping and meal plans. I’ve been on-and-off vegetarian for so long that a trip to the grocery store is just second nature, but I’m asked often, “What do vegans even eat?” Of course, we eat food! We eat the most natural diet for our bodies, but that’s not what they’re asking, I know....
Peanut butter and chocolate is my ultimate dessert flavor combination. It’s so magical! That’s why I love creating dessert recipes like my vegan peanut butter bars and vegan peanut butter blossom cookies. When I was growing up, peanut butter cups were my favorite treat. Were they yours too? Well guess what? This pie tastes just like peanut butter cups. It’s divine. We’re talking creamy peanut butter filling between in a chocolate graham cracker crust, all topped off with creamy chocolate ganache....
I’ve been wanting to create a vegan fondue recipe for a while now. I was a little intimidated because based on what I hear, fondue is tricky! I did a little research that seems to confirm this. The cheese separates, things get chunky, all that bad stuff. Well, good news! It turns out that vegan fondue is one of those super cool recipes that’s actually easier to make than it’s traditional non-vegan counterpart....
Why A Virtual Brunch? If you don’t love brunch, you clearly haven’t had the right brunch. Trust me! I’m a brunch convert whose last birthday party was themed to “brunch”. There’s just something about sleeping in a little on a Saturday or Sunday, getting just a little dressed up (or not), and meeting your friends and family for fancy breakfast food, drinks, and hours of chatting.Not being able to keep up those traditions like brunch can be frustrating and isolating, whether it’s because of distance or just not being able to be together....
What Makes This Recipe So Good Are you a PSL lover or PSL hater? Actually, don’t tell me, ’cause this one’s for the PSL lovers. My late-night radio call-in Whitney Houston dedication to y’all, because you’re the ones who choke down steaming hot lattes in 90º weather the moment Starbucks chalks #PSL on their menu boards. The ones who go without for 9 months of the year, just waiting to see what the mega-chain is going to do to your beloved orange beverage this year....
