As I sit here on my couch typing this up on my tablet, while watching Christmas movies, and munching on one of these cookies, there are snow flurries outside (snow in Texas, what the heck!?!). I can’t help but think, It can’t get better or more Christmas-y than “this”. These cookies taste very similar to…

Vegan Lemon Blueberry Scones
Scones are probably my most favorite baked good. Scones are supposed to be soft & fluffy on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, only slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh fruit. That’s the way I like them. I have been trying to save this recipe for using exclusively at the bakery I intend to…

Vegan Pecan Bars
This festive recipe is posting just in time for you to add it to your shopping list for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or whatever else you want to call your up coming holiday food fest. I was planning on making a Vegan Crumble Top Apple Pie to take with me to my in-law’s Thanksgiving day lunch, but…
Apple Maple Bread (V/RSF)
To be perfectly honest this recipe was created on a whim. I usually have a recipe idea in mind for at least a week, if not much longer, before I even test it. With this one I got the idea, drew up the rough draft, tested, and photographed all in the same day. It sure…
Alfredo Pasta with Peas & Sun-Dried Tomatoes (V/GF/NF)
This recipe is the beautiful result of me having to get creative with the few ingredients I currently had in the house, to make myself something for lunch earlier this week. I needed to go grocery shopping but didn’t have the energy nor the time that day (who can relate?). The sauce is based off…

While these may be “healthier” then the traditional brownie they are just as tasty. These Dark Chocolate Almond Brownies are; Rich Super Chocolatey Nutty Vegan Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free I…
Creamy Mushroom Risotto (V/GF)
Mushrooms are definitely an acquired taste. Honestly, I didn’t like them very much until after I became a vegan. Once vegan, mushrooms became my main meat substitute. I tried them in so many different meals, burgers, lasagnas, soups, enchiladas, tacos, and so much more. One of my early vegan favorites was stuffing portobellos with navy…
Roasted “Turkey” Seitan Sandwiches
This recipe starts with making a juicy, and garlicky, Roasted Turkey Style Seitan from scratch. Raw seitan isn’t the most appealing thing to look at -as you can see from mine pictured below- but it is a tasty alternative to eating meat. I could have probably spent more time on rolling my dough into a…
Roasted Vegetable Pasta (V/GF)
This is one of my new favorite weeknight dinners. It can be made in 30-Minutes, super easy, filling, and loaded with veggies. Oven roasting vegetables is my most favorite way to cook vegetables and I LOVE pasta, so why not combine the two? I decided to go with a sun dried tomato sauce that is…
General Tso’s Tofu (V/GF)
One of -what used to be- my most favorite Chinese Restaurant dishes, made vegan! I’m lucky enough to have a plant powered Asian cuisine restaurant close, but it is a once a month treat to get to eat there, so I like to make my own versions for the in between. This isn’t the quickest…
