Soup season is here, and it’s time for creamy soups, hearty stews, and flavorful curries! I’m going to come right out and admit that I’m not as crazy for soups as some of my friends. I sided with Bania when he argued with Jerry that soup isn’t meal on Seinfeld. I usually skip the soup…

Chili Roasted Pumpkin Nachos
Vegan Chili Roasted Pumpkin Nachos are the perfect treat for Halloween parties and fall get-togethers! Sweet pumpkin spice – cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger – is all the rage in the fall, but I often find myself craving savory pumpkin dishes, like chili and soup. Spices with heat like cayenne and chili actually pair really well…
Autumn Apple Cider Sangria
Raise a glass and toast the season with Autumn Apple Cider Sangria! As I mentioned last week, Dennis I recently took our annual autumn pilgrimage to New York state, where we picked apples, ate vegan food, bought farm fresh produce, and had a relaxing good time. What I didn’t mention is that our favorite apple…
Vegan Cheese and Apple Tartlets
Have an over-abundance of autumn apples? Make vegan Cheese and Apple Tartlets! They are quick and easy to make, and they’re a fun fall appetizer! Every fall, Dennis and I spend a day in in New York state, apple picking, visiting farm stands, and gawking at the changing leaves. This year our autumn adventure happened…
Farro Salad with Apples and Pecans
Full of fall flavors, this easy-to-make Farro Salad with Apples and Pecans will help ease you in the upcoming season. I was recently perusing the aisles at Trader Joe’s and I came across a package of 10-minute farro. I used to make farro salad quite often, but somehow it fell out of my meal rotation….
Maple-Miso Glazed Squash
Maple-Miso Glazed Squash is the perfect dish to serve alongside your vegan roast this Thanksgiving! It’s easy enough to make that it’s great for for weeknight dinners, too. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating: I love autumn! I love the fresh produce that fall brings, the vibrant colors of the…
Apple Pie Oatmeal
Every year, Dennis I kick fall of with a day trip to Warwick, NY, we have lunch, do a bit of shopping, spend some time apple picking, and stop at farm stands to load up on freshly harvest autumn vegetables. When we come home, we stuff our basement fridge with our produce haul. I then spend…
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…
My Vegan Thanksgiving Menu
I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just a few days away! How did it sneak up on me like that? I’ve actually been cooking up Thanksgiving dishes all month, but it has seemed like the day would never really arrive. I’m often asked what vegans eat for Thanksgiving, and my answer is usually “food”! Most of…
Vegan Creamed Kale
Although it’s delicious year-round, vegan Creamed Kale has become a holiday favorite. You might want to double the recipe, because it will disappear quickly. Not Many Veggies Growing Up I didn’t eat very many vegetables growing up, mainly because they were just never served in my house, so when I went vegetarian in 1993 I…
