Tofu Pumpkin Pie Recipe
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…

Whether you shop at Safeway a little or a lot, using their app every time you shop is a must for saving the most! It’s an easy app to use and navigate, but it’s not JUST useful for your current shopping trip. There are some lesser-known features I wanted to highlight, so you can save…
Vegan Gardenburger Recipe
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…
Vegan Banana Streusel Muffins (oil-free options)
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…

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…
Recipe Review: Miyoko Schinner’s Vegan Caesar Dressing (My Favorite oil-free Dressing)
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…
Quick 5-Minute Vegan Cheese Sauce! (oil-free)
This is the cheese sauce I turn to when I want cheese FAST. I have been making this for years, and have tinkered with the recipe to get it to just how I like it. It’s very versatile, too: great for grilled cheese, quesadillas, in casseroles, over pasta, nachos, you name it! Even though this…
