Hi Reader! Okay, so I wasn't planning on making this...but then I just couldn't stop thinking about cookie dough and NEEDED to try. So I tested something a little unhinged (in the BEST way): Small Batch Cookie Dough Cheesecake We have a 'buttery' soft cookie dough crust with a rich, creamy cheesecake folded with chunks of edible cookie dough and finished with a 2-ingredient chocolate ganache and more edible cookie dough!! And everyone went nuts for it on Instagram. Small Batch Cookie Dough...

Hi Reader! If dinner has been feeling a little repetitive lately, you’re not alone (hi, that was me right before our big move!!). I’ve been in that exact loop—defaulting to the same easy meals on autopilot. But since moving, I've been really challenging myself to make the family something way more exciting... While also keeping it somehow insanely simple! Here are 3 dinners I’m making on repeat right now: For tonight- easy, but tastes restaurant-worthy: Crispy Herbed Tofu Bowls with Roasted...

Hey Reader! Though we've finally reached spring, it's still very chilly (at least where we are!), so on these colder spring nights, this is what I'm constantly making this recipe. It just ticks all of the boxes: Simple ingredients: Mostly pantry staples too- lentils and tahini?! A must! Easy to make: Simply chop & roast! Ridiculously flavorful: This one is an absolute crowd-pleaser. It's one I make for even my non-vegan parents when they come over for dinner- my mom and dad can't get enough...

Hi Reader! As someone who adamantly loves chocolate, it takes a lot for me to want to choose a fruity cake over something so deeply rich and decadent. But this one bowl strawberry cake does just that. Now, when developing it, I really wanted a strawberry cake that had basically the fruity punch of flavor that you get when biting into a fresh strawberry. And I also wanted it to be made with only fresh strawberries and no strawberry reduction. This was quite a feat, because even in the...

Hey Reader! I've been thinking a lot about what would help someone just starting out in the vegan baking and cooking world, and I realized a quick high-level overview of just some familiar ingredients I always have on hand- and what I make with them- might be really beneficial! So today we're looking at 4 very simple, very universal and popular ingredients that are staples in both a vegan and non-vegan kitchen that you can use for some really delicious plant-based goodies (that no one will...

Hi Reader! A week ago, snow was blanketing the ground, and now we're enjoying some slightly warmer temps, albeit drizzly and soppy (though I kind of love it?! I'll sound weird for this, but 4 years of perpetual summer really has made me appreciate every single seasonal change!). Which means I'm still very much focused on cozy and comforting meals that are simple, quick to make, and have high pay-off (meaning you probably will get a few nights out of it!). Oh, and of course, taste freaking...

Hi Reader! So I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I literally now have this single serve chocolate chip cookie recipe memorized. Like, I could recite it and even make it in my sleep, and it's a little too easy that I could easily just make a second cookie from it...and a third...and maybe a fourth. But it's just SO. GOOD. Like bakery-style thick, soft with crisp, lightly browned edges, and pools of molten chocolate chips in every bite. It's the perfect cookie, and need I say that it's...

Hey Reader! I'm writing to you from- surprise! - the northeast! Because we officially moved from sunny Florida back up north to Connecticut, and we are thriving, even in the freezing cold (and multiple snow storms!). As we're settling in, I have to say, these 30 minute dinners have been saving my family through this move. Whether you're in the middle of crazy work week, trying to juggle school schedules with the kids, or (like me currently) unpacking boxes, you can easily rely on these...

Hey Reader! I’m working on expanding my recipes (including some savory, family-style meals!!!), and before I create anything new, I want to make sure I’m solving the right problems for you. I've put together a very short survey (2–3 minutes), and your answers will directly shape what I share next!! Specifically, ones that taste traditional, feel nostalgic, and work for real life. And are all. vegan. ALWAYS! Take the survey here! If you’ve ever:– worried vegan food wouldn’t taste “as good”–...
