Oh tofu. I love love love ya.
I know that’s a very vegan thing to say. But it’s true!
I’m not arguing with you –– right out of the package, tofu isn’t great. But if you treat it the right way, say, by making these Crispy Baked Tofu Nuggets, tofu can (and should!) be incredibly delicious.

YIPPEE! Snacks! Today we’re talking about a good-for-you snack that’s tasty, protein-packed, and reminiscent of cookie dough!
Is there anything better?!
Read MoreOh my, did I struggle with what to name this recipe.
It’s thicker than a pudding, creamier than a mousse, and less gelatinous than a custard.
So I went with pot de creme, which Wikipedia says means, “‘pot of custard’ or ‘pot of cream’, which also refers to the porcelain cups in which the dessert is served.”
Technically, I served this recipe in some jars. But “jars de creme” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, you know?

And there’s one thing that can warm me up from the tip of my toes to the tip of my nose –– a Ginger Latte.

These past few years have been… a lot. But I’m feeling hopeful for this new year.
I set some goals for myself (I do better with goals than with resolutions, which always seem so much more intense), and I’m really excited to pursue them.
Amongst the goals I set for myself, one was wanting to make an effort to try new dinner recipes this year. I get in dinner ruts a lot, and during those ruts, I tend to default to staples like rice, tofu/beans, and some sort of veggie.
It’s fast and filling, but after a week or two of the same thing over and over and over, it gets pretty boring.
So! In an effort to be more creative in the kitchen, I created THIS. And I don’t really know what to say about it other than it’s really really good.
Read MoreAs soon as Thanksgiving is over, I am in full-blown Christmas mode.
To be quite honest with you, I’m in full-blown Christmas mode now. I’m just so incredibly excited for all the happy, warm, cozy vibes that the holiday season brings each year.
And there’s nothing more Christmas-y in my mind than the peppermint mocha.
Read MoreOh hey. It’s me, that girl who, a meer two weeks ago called ranch, and I quote, “thick blanket of goo.”
So there’s that. But then there’s this!
A vegan ranch that is super herby and dippable and so very yummy.
Read MoreWhat a mouth-full!
Oh, how I love pasta and creamy vegan cheese sauce and roasty toasty caramelized broccoli.
Especially this time of year!
