I remember the dishes I used to eat before I started eating a plant-based diet and some of those were pretty tasty! Like Tetrazzini… all creamy and gooey with peas, mushrooms, and noodles. But now I can enjoy it again without the guilt with this Vegan Tetrazzini with Soy Curls. I have to admit, this dish…
Butternut Squash Risotto with Basil Pesto
I continue to be inspired by the Instant Pot. Yes, it does make beans in a flash like these Pinto Beans and Black Beans, but it is very versatile. I have even seen pasta made in the Instant Pot. So this beautiful spring dish of Butternut Squash Risotto with Basil Pesto was a natural for the…

Roasted Veggie Tacos With Chipotle Sauce
Whoever said that plant-based, vegan food is boring. That is so far from the truth, at least for recipes I love. These roasted veggie tacos taste amazing with this smoky chipotle sauce. The sauce is also great for topping baked potatoes, yams or fries. I love these tacos topped with creamy avocado, chopped tomato, and…

Fall is in the air and is one of my favorite times of the year. I love pumpkin any time and often have canned pumpkin, the unsweetened kind, on hand. Since this recipe only uses half of the canned pumpkin, you could use the other half for this Pumpkin Chia Pudding. It’s perfect for this Pumpkin…
