Recipe: “Old Fashioned” Vegan Baking Powder Biscuits (no shortening or oil!)
I love biscuits, but I don’t love the shortening old-fashioned biscuits call for. I have tried different recipes over the years, but they just don’t resemble the type of biscuit I longed for. I wanted a tall biscuit that would generously split open and hold up to vegan sausage gravy, plant-based honey, maple syrup, or […]

My 25¢ “No-Bucks” Latté
I have had my share of coffeehouse lattés in my time, and they are good. But, at around $7-$10 each for a vanilla latté, it’s not something I want to spend money on regularly. I can make these copycat lattés at home, for about 25¢ each! This is a savings of more than 95%. These […]

Recipe: Crustless Vegan Tofu Spinach Quiche
I have been making this a long time, and it’s one of my daughter’s favorite recipes! I used to make quiche with crust before I ditched the unhealthy ingredients, but this is fine without it!

Tofu Chocolate Mousse
Don’t let the tofu part scare you! Myself, I love tofu, but I have served this to folks who don’t normally eat it, and “I can’t believe this is tofu” was a popular sentiment. This is really yummy, easy to prepare and only requires a few ingredients. It tastes rich, yet apart from the sugar […]

How to Make My Tofu Turkey: Step-by-Step
For many years now, I have made a “Tofu Turkey” for Thanksgiving. It is a vegan version of what is normally served during this holiday, complete with a delicious mushroom stuffing inside, and a crispy, flavorful exterior “skin”. It does require several steps, and the entire process will take a few hours. Two of those […]

Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree – Using a Whole Pumpkin
I love using fresh pumpkin for my tofu pumpkin pies. It’s also nice to make extra puree to freeze and use later for other baking/cooking projects. Before I had an Instant Pot, I would either roast it in the oven, or steam in a large pot on top of the stove. The Instant Pot is […]
