Cozy Vegetable Sweet Pea Soup (Vegan+GF)
I’m finally feeling the need to start coming up with some warm and comforting recipes now that Summer is almost over. There’s nothing like ending a chilly day with a bowl of creamy soup with bread, you know? Where I live it’s not quite cool yet, but the weather is definitely changing quickly. I thought this soup would be the perfect crossover between seasons because snap peas are a Summer veggie. This is a great soup to make if you’re like me and love cooking as seasonally as possible. So I’m pretty sure if I keep going on and on about how much I love Autumn, you’re going to stop reading anything I…

Back To School Lunchbox Ideas (Vegan+GF)
So it’s back to school time again and that means it’s time for some lunch! Whether back-to-school time represents making lunches for yourself or your kids, it’s never a bad thing to get some great ideas. Maybe you’re needing something to take to work or you do meal preps. I’m not really in any of these categories and I still love fun lunches. So while I’m not in school anymore (thank goodness) my youngest sister is going back to school soon. It’s had me thinking about I always seem to miss this opportunity every year to share these kinds of ideas. And that’s what today’s post is. It’s definitely more about the inspiration…

25-Minute Thai Peanut Soba Noodle Salad (Vegan)
I’m such a fan of Asian flavors you guys. If I didn’t try to keep things interesting here I’d probably just end up sharing stir-fry recipes and sushi every single day. As it is, I think I share quite a few recipes with those flavors. This recipe is one that you might be familiar. Or, maybe it’s something you’ve never heard of and it sounds super intriguing to you. I know I did when I first heard of something like this. First of all, can we just take a second to acknowledge the double standards within cultures when it comes to food. For example, who decided that pancakes and waffles are for breakfast?…

BBQ Jackfruit Tacos + Kale Corn Slaw (Vegan+GF)
Do I really need a reason for making tacos? Yeah, I didn’t think so. I’m thinking back to when I first heard of jackfruit and simultaneously heard of it being used as sort of replacement for pulled barbecue. I was so confused about what it even was and if it could taste anything like a barbecue sandwich. It is indeed a fruit but when it’s made like this guys, it’s so convincing as meat. I even got my brother to think it was basic bbq. Recently my focus in the kitchen has really shifted to making things simple, fast, and approachable. I know there are a few places to purchase jackfruit but…

Traditional Ukrainian Red Borscht Soup (Vegan+GF)
Today we’re talking about Ukrainian red borscht, have you heard of it? It’s a European favorite, specifically in Russian and obviously Ukraine. This post is all about Ukrainian Red Borscht Haha, I have to reference a children’s movie and prove my inner kid here. If you’ve seen the Dreamworks animated movie Madagascar 3 then you might remember the Russian tiger mentioning his love for this soup. I also have a special love for this recipe because it was one of the very first ones that I shared here on my blog. Due to it being a popular post I felt it was long passed time to update it. So in case you’ve never…

Easy Nacho “Cheese” Dip (Vegan+GF)
I didn’t think it could be done…… A cheese-less cheese sauce my friends, it’s real, it’s possible, and you can easily do it for yourself. You may be familiar with this kind of thing already, or you might be thinking “What do you do you even start with to make something like this?” You ready for it? It’s actually a dip based on cashews! The ingredients are similar to what I made this mac and cheese with a while back but it’s way easier. Let me just tell you that, only a few years, ago I wasn’t familiar with this concept at all. Even then, the first time I did learn about such…

Creamy Avocado Pesto Zoodle Salad (Vegan+GF)
I think I’ve discovered my favorite new Summer side salad! So I know I totally dropped the ball on getting a red, white, and blue themed recipe up for all my friends here in the States. I don’t know, I just had so many recipes lined up before the 4th that I had to share. The good news is that this salad is perfect for a picnic on a hot Summer day. In fact, all the bursting colors sort of remind you of fireworks, no? I’ve had a spiralizer for a while but because it’s not a tool I keep in plain sight I tend not to use it as much as…
