These lentil patties are so good for batch cooking and freezing so you always have them on hand. It does take a little forethought to make them, as it is best to let the mixture chill in the fridge for at least a half hour before baking. This requires more planning than I usually like […]
Gratitude for a Vegan Thanksgiving This year, I was lucky enough to be able to have a completely vegan Thanksgiving for my first big holiday after becoming vegan. I understand most vegans are not so fortunate. I am blessed to have parents who went vegan with me. And since we celebrated at their house, I […]
Try this baked oatmeal for breakfast, snacks, or dessert! Perfect for a holiday gathering when you need an easy brunch idea. I’ve used pumpkin and cherries for the flavor base, but feel free to mix it up! Use bananas instead of pumpkin (or in addition to) for more sweetness. Try blueberries or other berries instead […]
Who says you have to wait for New Year to eat black-eyed peas? This powerhouse legume is good anytime of year! Packed with protein, fiber, iron, and more. And of course they are delicious!

I rarely follow exact recipes, but instead follow a general template for building a plate. Based off of that template, I create meals using whatever ingredients I already have on hand. So any measurements […]
