Vegan kid-friendly recipes loved by readers’ children, including many gluten-free and low-carb options.
Warning: this is another post for mushroom-lovers. If you’re not a fan of them, then you may want to escape to chocolate-land and forget that you ever saw this. Ok, onto the fungi. Once again, I have gone overboard at the farmer’s markets, and last week I found myself with way too many mushrooms. What can I … Read more
As you may have read in my Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup post, I’ve been going a little overboard at the farmers’ market lately. I never used to make the effort to get up early and go to farmer’s markets, but I have to say that it has since become something that I really look forward … Read more
Nooch Disclaimer: If you missed my post on Nutritional Yeast, and you’re not familiar with that ingredient, you may want to check it out before reading further because this Vegan Mac & Cheese recipe is very “nooch” dependant. I guess I should start by saying that I’ve probably tried every “cheezy” nutritional yeast sauce out … Read more
I really love the healthy truffles that I discovered a couple weeks ago but when I went to make them yesterday, I realized that I didn’t have enough walnuts, pecans, or almonds to make them. I did however have a lot of desiccated coconut and really felt like something “coconut-y”. Hmm – I wonder what … Read more
This is a really easy risotto recipe. It uses basic ingredients, and if you have a pot that can be used on the stove as well as in the oven, then it becomes a one-pot meal. Because it is finished in the oven, you’ve got creamy tomato risotto in no time – without all the … Read more
These everyday healthy truffles are a sweet treat without the guilt. While I make some pretty awesome vegan truffles, they’re a little bit of a mess to put together and certainly not something you’d want to eat everyday. However, these little guys are full of healthy ingredients and they’re super easy to make. If you … Read more
Pretty epic title, huh? Well, it’s totally true. The other day, while watching a boring movie (can’t even remember the title, it was THAT bad), I was Googling vegan raw recipes on my iPhone. I was in the mood for something sweet, yet healthy, and I eventually settled on some raw vegan brownies. They turned … Read more
I bookmarked Allyson from Manifest Vegan’s Ghastly Tortilla Chips & Ghoul-camole back in October. Although I’ve made regular guacamole many times since then, it only just occurred to me today to try her version, which includes “broccoli confetti”. All I can say is WOW! I’m actually a bit mad at myself for not trying it … Read more
You’re probably sick of holiday sweets by now, but I made these elegant truffles over the holidays and wanted to share them with you. I actually found this recipe for Easy Decadent Truffles a few years ago and have veganized it with great success a few times now. You’ve got to get your hands messy to … Read more
These Vietnamese-style fresh spring rolls (summer rolls) are easy to make – just prep your favorite fillings, wrap, and roll! Vegan + Gluten-Free!
I’m always on the lookout for healthy cookie recipes, and was inspired by this one that I found on About.com. I’ve made these healthy breakfast cookies a couple times now, and have modified the recipe a bit each time to get it just right. These are not delicate cookies. They’re dense little fellows… I’m pretty … Read more
There’s just something about blueberries, lemon, and vanilla that tastes and smells so divine. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart. I’d wear this blueberry macadamia crumble as perfume if I could! Fruit crisps are some of my favorite desserts. They’re just as delicious and comforting as fruit pies, without all the effort of … Read more
These wholewheat pineapple carrot muffins are perfectly fluffy and delicious. The recipe yields 10 regular sized muffins, which can be made ahead as they’re freezer-friendly. This is a recipe that my mom made for us growing up and I always loved how moist and delicious these muffins were. There’s something about the pineapple/carrot combo that is … Read more
I cut this recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine about 10 years ago (am I really this old?!) and it sat untried in my recipe binder until I finally got around to “veganizing” it this year. I’ve since made it a few times because it’s just so delicious and I can freeze half the batch, which … Read more
These caramel apple muffins are one of my favorite vegan muffin recipes. The crumbly, sugary topping makes them taste like gooey caramel apples — minus the sticky fingers and face! You could leave out the topping to make these a bit healthier, but it really adds a great taste and texture to these muffins. Go … Read more
