Veggie Spaghetti

Veggie Spaghetti

My mother was visiting over the weekend and when I have company I want to provide good meals but I don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.  That’s no fun for me or my company, so I’m always on the lookout for plant-based (vegan) dishes that are company friendly.  Not only do they

Plant-based Shepherd’s Pie

Plant-based Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd’s Pie. One of the ultimate comfort foods in my book. We used to eat it with a bunch of meat in it, so when I came to the realization that one of my favorite dinner-time meals could be made into a plant-based meal, and easily, I was ecstatic! How do you plant-base-erize (new word

Anatomy of a Plant-based Meal

Anatomy of a Plant-based Meal

If you are like me sometimes you are throwing meals together at the last minute with not a lot of planning.  Honestly, many (too many!) of my meals are like that.  We pick up a box of produce every Thursday from the local health food store.  The produce is from a local farmers coop and it is a

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Swirl Muffins

Yummm! That is usually the first word that pops into my mouth when I think about chocolate and peanut butter together. I am such a fan of these two as a combo. Usually when you hear those two together it usually means pretty unhealthy too. I think Reese’s, puppy chow/muddy buddies, no-bakes, you get the

Lentil Meatball Subs

Lentil Meatball Subs

My pictures really don’t do these justice. Every single time my husband and I had theses there was a 10 minute discussion about how we needed to start a restaurant with these babies! They are a MUST TRY! So good. I even loved them with just the sub, sauce, meatball and nutritional yeast. No fuss

Chocolate Chip Cookies, The Best Vegan Ones Out There!

Chocolate Chip Cookies, The Best Vegan Ones Out There!

I LOVE Chocolate Chip cookies. Let me start off by saying that these cookies ARE NOT HEALTHY! They have oil and sugar galore! However, they are probably the best vegan chocolate chip cookies that I have had to date. And I have tried a lot. You would probably only want to have these cookies on
