Roasted Sea Salt and Pepper Padron Peppers
This past weekend at the farmer’s market I found some delicious padron peppers. Padron peppers are originally from Spain and typically eaten as tapas. Eating padron peppers can be a little like roulette since they range in spiciness from mild like a bell pepper to a tad less spicy than... -
Chickpea Avocado Salad
Quick and easy lunches can be tricky sometimes for vegans since normally there are less options available when you want something to just grab and go. This chickpea and avocado salad can solve that problem though. Delicious on toast, over greens, or served in scooped out tomatoes – it makes... -
Israeli Couscous, Blueberry, and Walnut Salad
I couldn’t wait to make this salad after seeing it on Joy the Baker, a lovely and witty blogger you should definitely check out. (Many of her recipes are not vegan but she does have some delicious recipes that are!) The salad calls for Israeli couscous, blueberries, pecans, lemon, capers,... -
Vegan Quiche Cupcakes
It’s funny how there is one food that most people who have adopted a vegan diet truly miss. For my one my close friends, that food is quiche. As a vegetarian, quiche was a staple in her diet and since going full vegan, she hasn’t found a good replacement. Since... -
Chipotle Hummus
Hummus is a staple in my home for a quick snack, spread for sandwiches, or replacement for yogurt or mayonnaise in creamy salad recipes. One of my favorite ways to use it is mixed with vegetarian chicken, avocado, and diced veggies to create a vegan “chicken salad.” However sometimes I... -
Baked Samosas with Mint Cilantro Sauce

Vegan Romesco Sauce
Ever since living in Spain during college, I have had a love affair with Romesco sauce. Packed with the delicious flavors of roasted red peppers, garlic, almonds, and a touch of tomato – it makes the perfect sauce for vegetables, pasta, and it a great addition to sandwiches or veggie... -
Beet, Beet Green, and Avocado Salad with Tahini Lemon Dressing
A delicious vegan recipe for a hearty salad with beets, beet greens, avocado, and lemon tahini dressing. -
Vietnamese Spring rolls
Spring rolls are a great light dinner or lunch for a warm evening. Usually when I make spring rolls, I make a triple batch and keep them in the house for quick snacks and meals on the go. For more protein, consider marinating tofu in soy and then either baking... -
Nacho Cheese Sauce
One of my favorite treats, especially with football season starting, is chips and “nacho cheese” sauce. However finding a delicious vegan version of Nacho Cheese can be tricky. Many times they taste gritty or flavorless and I find myself reaching for salad or bean dip instead. But this recipe delivers....
