Homemade Vegan Whipped Butter
It's surprisingly easy to make homemade vegan butter. I never would have attempted it myself, but Richard decided to try it and was very successful. I was immediately converted! I couldn't believe how delicious and realistic this butter tasted, and we've completely switched from store-bought brands like Earth Balance to making our own at home ... Read More
Vegan Buffalo Chick’n Dip
I'm all for Buffalo-flavored anything - vegan chick'n wings or nuggets, cauliflower bites, pizza, even mac and cheeze. So when Richard decided to make a Buffalo chick'n dip I was totally on board! However when he first mentioned wanting to try this, I didn't really understand the concept so I was intrigued. Then as it ... Read More

Smoothies are a really great way to start the day, although I can have one anytime. There's nothing wrong with smoothies for dinner!

I've often though deviled eggs were the perfect party food - bite-sized, suitable for all types of toppings, soft and delicious. I could easily put away five or six at once (if not more!). Being vegan doesn't mean that type of appetizer is a thing of the past - not when you have little potatoes! ... Read More
Vegan Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Like a lot of people, I'm a huge fan of cookies, and chocolate chip ones are definitely my favorite (anything with chocolate is a win in my book!). They make the house smell amazing while they’re baking, and there’s nothing quite like having them hot out of the oven. I've often used pre-packaged mixes like ... Read More
Easy Vegan Sloppy Joes
Sloppy Joes - hearty, filling and oh-so-messy. What's not to love? Sloppy Joes were actually one of the few things I cooked on multiple occasions before going vegan. Granted, my recipe at the time consisted only of browning some meat and combining it with a pre-made can of sauce, but still - it was a ... Read More
