I first tried this steak at a vegan potluck picnic – no one could guess what it was made out of. With just a couple of simple ingredients and a grill, you’ll be enjoying a juicy vegan steak in no time! I credit my friends at Green Wolf Foods for introducing this to me. They…
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…
I made this for dinner last night, and one of our Facebook members requested the recipe. Here you go! 🙂 You will not believe this garlicky, creamy herb sauce contains zero vegan butter or oil! The flavor is really enhanced by the garlic, I used the jarred garlic from Costco. Fresh would be great, too….
Here’s a roundup of some of my recipes that would be great for Cinco de Mayo: Refried (oil-free) Beans, Whole Pintos, 5-Minute Cheese Sauce, Unprocessed Cheese Sauce, 5-Minute Restaurant Style Salsa, Baked Corn Chips + Tostada Shells. You can use each of these components to make a wide variety of dishes, some ideas: nachos, enchiladas,…
The Pie: Who says pumpkin pie is only for Thanksgiving?! Not me! In fact, I can vouch that it’s good for breakfast, too! 🙂 I have been making this pie for many years. It is a favorite at our house! I experimented with the spices and settled on traditional spices individually PLUS a bit of…
This is my homemade vegan take on the popular vegetarian Gardenburger that is sold in the stores. Made with whole foods such as mushrooms, brown rice and bulghur wheat. Before I followed a vegan diet, I enjoyed my fair share of Gardenburgers. They were sold in bulk at Costco, and made for a quick and…
This is the muffin that I shared with my Facebook group last week (Hi guys!) 🙂 I baked them in a silicone muffin tray: According to the notes on my recipe page, I 1st made a version of these in 1998. I had written “Excellent!” on the top, and I was reminded why when I…
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…
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…
I have tried MANY oil-free Salad Dressings over the years, and this is by far the VERY BEST I have encountered. I usually double or even triple the recipe when I make it. Although it is a “Caesar” Dressing and super yummy for that, we use it on all our salads at our house. It…
