This recipe was created in partnership with Fawen and Sweet Earth Foods. All opinions are my own. It’s that time of the year when you’ve probably been overindulging in food, are about to overindulge in food, and have certainly no time to spare for cooking. Personally, I have 3 dinner parties under my belt (4 …

I didn’t set out to create a veganized mattar paneer when I made this dish. I was craving a rich tasting and creamy Indian curry, and didn’t want to break out a second pot to make a vegetable dish. Tofu was my first choice for the protein, I just love the tender morsels tucked into …
We all need an arsenal of easy, healthy, and comforting meals to pull out at the end of a long day. For me, nothing spells comfort food more than a big plate of beans and rice.
Easy homemade pasta made with vegan with aquafaba instead of eggs. The fresh pasta can be cut into thin spaghetti or wide noodles and it cooks up toothsome and delicious! If you’re like me, and have a seemingly insatiable love for pasta, you might spend a disproportionate amount of your time reading about pasta making …
I’ve been on a bit of an eggplant kick lately. It’s just such a great vegetable (ok, actually it’s a fruit, like all good things in life), that’s perfect in so many applications. It can be used in stir fries, in salads, in tacos. It makes dips, sandwich fillings, casseroles, and even [plant-based] bacon. You …
This tahini pasta skillet is my kind of fall meal. It’s stuffed full of kale and sweet potato, it’s wholesome and super quick to throw together. This one-pot (pan?) meal has it all: protein, carbs, veggies, and healthy fats. It’s a nice break from the popular cashew-based sauce and is also conveniently nut free for …
Black bean soup is lazy day cooking at it’s best. A perfectly cozy homemade meal that is so hands off it practically makes itself. I’ve been craving black bean soup for weeks now, with a mason jar full of dried beans set aside for this exact purpose. But despite the fact that it wouldn’t take much …
There’s something extremely satisfying about eating the pillowy soft dough of a steamed bun. Tender and moist in texture, yeasty and slightly sweet in flavor. I think it’s perfect when accompanied by a bold, savory filling (I’ve never been that into sweet versions, like red bean paste steamed buns). A lifelong vegetarian, my life has …
If you’ve never had the Japanese dish nasu dengaku (miso-glazed eggplant), you’re in for a treat! The first time I ate it I had to wonder what sorcery happened to the eggplant. How is something so simple SO good? It’s like, just eggplant, with a miso glaze broiled on top of it. The eggplant becomes …
When I hear the term “Mexican pizza” I can’t help but think of that version I’d order at Taco Bell — Mexican pizza, add beans and hold the meat. It’s probably been almost 20 years since I’ve ordered that, and it’s nothing like the recipe I’m sharing here today. Here there are no crunchy flat tortillas …
