This Za’atar Tofu is a wonderful addition to any salad or wrap. It’s also a great appetizer or snack! I work from home, so most days I make myself a large salad or heat up leftovers for lunch. However, there are days when I don’t feel like making my own meal. I live around the…

Mustard-Coated Oven Fries
These Mustard-Coated Oven Fries are highly addictive, so you may want to make a double batch! You may think I’m weird, but I like to dip my fries in mustard rather than ketchup. As a child I hated mustard, and I was at total ketchup girl, but at some point in my early adulthood that changed, and I…
Hoppin’ John Burgers with Tempeh Bacon and Spicy Aioli
Hoppin’ John is a classic southern dish that’s traditionally made with rice, black-eyed peas, and bacon or ham, and it’s usually served with collard greens. It’s served on New Year’s Day for good luck and prosperity in the year ahead. The black-eyed peas are said to represent coins, and a real coin is sometimes added…
Mini No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecakes
Key Lime Pie, or Key Lime Cheesecake in this case, might not be the first dessert that comes to mind when you think of Christmas, but it’s a tradition in our house to have it for the holidays. Dennis’s birthday is December 24th, and while I love me some chocolate cake, he’s more of fruit…
My Favorite Green Juice
Skip the cup of joe and start your day with a healthy green juice! This juice is loaded with veggies that will give you the nutrients needed to power through busy mornings. I’m on my third juicer. I bought my first one about 10 years ago and it was the cheapest one I could find. It was…
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
You may be tempted to sleep in on chilly autumn mornings, but a warm and cozy bowl of Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal will make getting out of bed a little easier. A few weeks ago I was looking through my recipe archives, searching for recipes that use pumpkin, and I found a very laughable post with…
Family Favorites Desserts: Chocolate Cream Pie
When Angela from Canned Time asked me to participate in the Family Favorites Desserts series, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Each month, Canned Time is featuring a different blogger who has veganized a favorite dessert from her childhood. NuNaturals is the unofficial sponsor of the series, so their stevia products are used in all of the recipes. It sounded…
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 Pad Thai from Spiralize! by Beverly Lynn Bennett
I learned a little bit about raw foods in 2009 while I was attending the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and it was interesting enough that I signed up for a raw “cooking” class at the local adult school. In the class, the instructor made raw spaghetti with marinara sauce. To make the pasta, she twirled a…
Brussels Sprouts Salad
I often have a large salad or a sandwich with a side salad for lunch. A few weeks ago I felt like I needed a break from my usual side salad of romaine, shredded carrots, and purple cabbage, so I dug around in the fridge to see what else we had that I could turn…
