This was the very 1st recipe I attempted in my Instant Pot many moons ago. We enjoyed it so much, it is now in my regular rotation. Once a week, I make a big batch of soup for the rest of the week. My husband will take some to work every day for lunch (he…
This is my family’s favorite sausage patty recipe! The spices are what really make these special. I have tweaked the original recipe, testing out different ingredients over the years numerous times and settled on this one. The 1st time I tried the original recipe, I felt it was too bread-like. It called for more flour….
This is my version of the 2-ingredient Banana-Oat Cookie that has been floating around the internet for awhile. I experimented with variations of those, and came up with these. This is quite possibly the easiest and healthiest cookie you will ever make! It has no added sugar or fat. It is super yummy, too! I…

I have experimented with making various vegan taco meats over the years, and this is the result of those experiments. My 1st few attempts were ok but kind of bland, until I started adding soy sauce. Surprisingly, this was the magical ingredient that sealed the deal! I think it is the color it imparts as…
I love biscuits, but I don’t love the shortening old fashioned biscuits call for. I had tried different recipes over the years, but they just didn’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, maple syrup or the…
Here is my version of a vegan “egg” salad that I have been making for years. It’s delicious in a sandwich, salad or even scooped up with crackers. You can even substitute the tofu with cooked garbanzos! I have served this to people who don’t normally eat tofu, and they were surprised how much they…
Is it Worth it to Make Beans from Scratch? Those $1 cans of beans sure seem like a good deal – but is it much cheaper to make beans from scratch? Canned beans are convenient, and I feel have their place. If you choose to make your beans from scratch it’s nice to know how…
I have had a few Starbucks lattés in my time, and they are good. But, at more than $5 each for a soy 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! That is a savings of more than 95%….
