Hi Reader, I have a fun new dessert recipe to share with you today. It's simple to make and almost too good! π
Cheesecake Pudding Tap for the recipe Initially, I'd planned to test the recipe with a base of silken tofu, similar to my tofu cheesecake. Then I realized I didn't have any silken tofu! I had just gone grocery shopping and wasn't about to go back. So I had to pivot... I knew cashews would taste amazing and create a really rich and creamy pudding. I also have a lot of almond flour on...

Hi Reader, Growing up in the South, comfort food was everything. Biscuits, gravy, casseroles, you name it. The flavors were rich, the portions were generous, and the food always came with a side of warmth and connection. These days, as someone whoβs studied plant-based nutrition and lives on the veggie-loving side of the kitchen, I still crave those familiar, cozy dishes. But now I find comfort not just in the flavor, but in knowing the food Iβm eating is nourishing, too! Thatβs exactly why I...

Hi Reader, If you've ever made coleslaw, you know it's pretty easy. For the dressing, most recipes start with mayonnaise, then add more acidity, a little sweetness, and some celery seed. I'm not sure what took me so long, but it occurred to me that I could easily adapt my oil-free mayo recipe into a coleslaw dressing. And I have to say... it's a delight! With no mayo in sight. π Just blend up the creamy dressing, toss it with shredded cabbage and carrot, and you've got yourself a classic...

Hi Reader, I've had pistachios on my mind since I shared these pistachio cookies a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember how I decided to make pancakes, but I'm glad I did! No joke, these really surprised me. It's the sort of breakfast recipe that feels a little fancy, decadent even, but they're easy to make and equally as great as a snack. (I just ate a leftover pancake this afternoon. Take that, muffins.) Weβre not just folding chopped pistachios into the batter, we're blending them with...

Hi Reader, Sorry for emailing two days in a row β I always try to respect your inbox. π¬ But I ran out of time this week and wanted to get this TASTY new burger recipe to you before the weekend... just in case. These patties hold up beautifully on a bun and are packed with savory flavors. They're versatile, too. Instead of poultry seasoning, use my vegan beef-less seasoning for umami and a neutral flavor. Or switch things up with different spice blends or flavorful sauces and pastes like...

Hi Reader, Gosh, where has the time gone? I can't believe the 4th of July holiday is already upon us! βοΈ If you're headed to a barbecue this weekend, you might be wondering what to make. Whether you're hosting or attending, it's not always easy to find a plant-based main that holds up well on the grill! For me, if I'm going to someone else's house where they will be grilling meat, I usually like to prep something in advance, then portion it out into foil pouches to reheat on the grill. I've...

Hi Reader, When it comes to cookies, I definitely have a type. I like 'em simple. The kind of simple that when you take a bite and realize they're actually good β even with so few ingredients β you're a little surprised. π These 3-Ingredient Almond Flour Cookies are a good example! So I decided to do something similar, but with pistachios. They're the perfect little two-bite treat. Lightly sweet, very nutty, crisp on the outside, and chewy in the middle. π All you need are pistachios, oats,...

Hi Reader, Have you ever tried Shichimi Togarashi? Also knows as Japanese 7 Spice, it's a delicious blend of spicy red chile flakes, toasted sesame seeds, dried orange peel, and a few other key ingredients. Making it at home in small batches results in a MUCH more flavorful seasoning than you'll get from a dusty bottle on the grocery store shelf. The ways you can use shichimi togarashi are endless, which leads me to the other new recipe of the week.... Togarashi Tofu Scramble. π³ This simple,...

Hi Reader, I have a new summer dessert to share with you today, plus a few favorites for the upcoming week. First up, Mixed Berry Tart! π«π If at any point you find yourself with heaps of fresh berries to use up, I really hope you'll make this! I'll be the first to tell you that fruity desserts aren't usually my top choice. I've always been more of a vanilla/caramel/chocolate/nuts kind of person. But desserts like this one make me question everything! π This colorful beauty just screams...
