Luscious lemony Roasted Cauliflower Piccata is easy to make, but it looks so fancy that those at the dinner table will think you slaved away in the kitchen for hours!

Vegan Polenta Lasagna
Way back when, Dennis and I had our third date at a restaurant called Park and Orchard in Rutherford, NJ. I had eaten there several times before, but it was new to him. They had several vegan options on the menu, my favorite being a dairy-free, gluten-free lasagna made with tofu ricotta and polenta instead…
Tahini Noodles
Some years ago I had come across a recipe for tahini noodles, and I made them several times. They were quite tasty, but somehow they fell out of our meal rotation. It’s been so long now, that I can’t remember where I found the recipe, and for some reason it’s not in my recipe binder. (The…
Nut Butter Blast: Peanutty Pad Thai Zoodles
Last year, Angela from Canned Time asked me to participate in her Veganized Family Favorites Desserts series. I created a Chocolate Cream Pie, and strangely, I won favorite dessert out of the 12 recipes that were in the series! When Angela asked if I wanted to participate in another series this year, this time creating…
20 Meal-Worthy Salads for Summer

Creamy Cannellini Mushroom Stroganoff
A few weeks ago on The Walking Dead, one character invited another over for dinner, offering to make beef jerky stroganoff. I’m sure that food is pretty scarce in the zombie apocalypse, but I couldn’t help but think, “there has to be a supply of mushrooms he could use somewhere.” Stroganoff is traditionally a meat…
Mushroom and Arugula Filo-Crust Pizza
Pizza gets a fun twist with this vegan Mushroom and Arugula Filo-Crust Pizza! This recipe might look slightly familiar, and that’s because it uses components from other recipes. While I was working on my What’s for Dinner e-book, I had found that I was left with some filo dough, a little tomato sauce, and half a…
African-Inspired Chickpea Peanut Stew
This African-Inspired Chickpea Peanut Stew is the perfect antidote for cold, dreary autumn days. The beginning of autumn is just a few days away. It’s my favorite season, and my thoughts are turning to warm mugs of tea, snuggly sweaters, and crunchy leaves. One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to cook a big…
Raw Vegan Tacos
Don’t let the long ingredients list here fool you – these “tacos” are easy to make, and they don’t take very much time to put together. They’re pretty versatile, so if you don’t have an ingredient, such as one of the spices, they’ll still be delicious. The different components can be made ahead of time and…
