Our family’s meal this holiday will be a little non-traditional. We’re making a plant-based vegan Moroccan dinner and the main dish is this Moroccan Chickpea Vegetable Tagine. If you haven’t heard of a tagine, it’s a piece of bakeware used for making the dish with the same name. A typical Moroccan meal is made up of…

Vegan Tetrazzini with Soy Curls
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…
Vegan Green Bean Casserole
This Green Bean Casserole is a healthier, dairy-free version, and as creamy and comforting as the original. I love serving this ultimate comforting dish during Thanksgiving, Christmas and for winter gatherings. Sauteing the garlic and onions alone creates a pleasant aroma of warmth in your home, and makes you feel just so cozy! The luscious creamy…

It’s another Recipe Redux for the month of December and the challenge this month is to take one of my cookbooks, turn to a page that’s any combo of the numbers 2017, and create the recipe with my own flair!

Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Apple Stuffing
I don’t know about you but a Thanksgiving meal has always been one of my favorites. I could eat it any time of the year! I loved the side dishes even more than the main event before I went plant-based so if you think having a plant-based Thanksgiving is tough, think again. The side dishes…

For those of you with kids, you may hear Ratatouille and think of the cartoon movie where a bunch of rats run around cooking. But not for this sheet pan ratatouille with creamy polenta. It’s like a bountiful garden and the results from a challenge set by The Recipe Redux team. This challenge also inspired…
Pumpkin Hummus
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…
Cauliflower Sweet Potato Mash
I hope by using the recipes on this site you have learned to be flexible when it comes to cooking. Sometimes we just don’t have everything we need. That’s how this recipe for cauliflower sweet potato mash was born. I didn’t have quite enough cauliflower or white potatoes for my usual cauliflower mash and decided to…
Baked Apples with Cashew Cream (video)
This Baked Apples with Cashew Cream recipe is an easy dessert to make. We love apples, and I’ll be that you often have them around your house, too. It’s a great way to use up those that aren’t quite as fresh, too. And, this is the perfect recipe for The Recipe Redux challenge for the…

And, what better way to stay cool than with a cool Vichyssoise with Fennel Soup. This vichyssoise…
Cheezy Veggie Divan
Chicken Divan was one of those meals that I’d often make for dinner before I stopped eating meat. It’s traditionally made with broccoli and a béchamel sauce that includes butter, cream, sherry, and added cheese but this “Cheeze” Veggie Divan is much healthier and love by all who have tried it. It’s origination, and the…
Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This Lentil Shepherd’s Pie comfort food is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters, plant-based or not! You can make this dish easier with store-bought items, such as canned or boxed lentils which I’ve found at Trader Joe’s. Make this gravy recipe, leaving out the mushroom since they’re in this recipe, to serve along side. Your…
