Cheezy Potato Casserole w/ vegan Cream of Celery Soup

It's not easy being green (but I guess it is easier than being Kermit.) But if you're vegan, and trying to save the planet, well, you just have to soup-it-up when you want to make some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes! So here comes a vegan version of the classic Cheesy Potato Casserole, including an awesome recipe for vegan cream of celery soup! If you aren't vegan or American, you might not know what I'm talking about, haha, but I think most of us grew up watching Sesame Street and ... Continue Reading

Vegan Cheese Pumpkin

October has always been one of my favorite months of the year. Fall is in full swing, the trees are full of fantastic colors  and the vegan cheese pumpkins are getting fat on the vine! What's that? You aren't growing any cheese pumpkins? Well, I guess I'll have to tell you how to make one instead! Pumpkins are a whole lot of fun to grow, but let's face it - they take up a lot of space!

Cashew ricotta and spinach cannelloni

When we think of Italian food, many of us think pasta (or yes, pizza, of course!). At first, you might not think that pasta would be an issue in a plant-based diet, but that isn't really the case.

Ah, man it ... Continue Reading

On a plant-based diet (diet as in "what you eat every day" not "what I'm going to eat for 3o days and then go back to eating exactly what I ate before") you don't have to worry about that. So carb up! And what better way to do that then with giant baked ... Continue Reading

Planticized jalapeño poppers with smoked tofu

When some people hear the word "vegan" or "plant-based" they think, "What is there to eat, grass?" But nothing could be further from the truth, especially these days. And while a spicy, little, green vegetable is at the center of this recipe, all the things around it are going to make you go, "Ohh and Ahhh..." Not only are there great-tasting, 100% plant-based cheeses available nowadays, there is an ever-growing variety of them. For these poppers I used a cheddar-style cheese (which ... Continue Reading
