The first time I made this slow cooker southwest sweet potato soup, I was trying to make a vegetarian taco soup. This soup did not taste like tacos to me, but I loved the flavors, so I reinvented it with a new name.

I have a few family members that eat dairy-free. Over the holidays when we are all together, sometimes finding meals that fit into everyone’s diet is difficult. I shared this vegan mushroom stroganoff with cashew cream with my family this holiday season, and everyone enjoyed!
As a kid, mom always used to make stroganoff; it was a family favorite. Around the dinner table, we all agreed that the cashew cream made a great substitute for the sour cream in our family recipe. Continue reading

Today I want to tell you about the best airplane food I’ve ever had. It was a vegan green curry, and I loved it so much, I was inspired to make my own high protein vegan thai green curry.
Usually, I don’t think much of the food they serve on airplanes. Vegetarians are stuck with mushy pasta dishes, and no other options. The last time I few, they ran out of mushy pasta, and I refused to take the chicken dish. Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme was Fresh from the Pumpkin Patch! Pumpkin is a great fall ingredient that has many uses, beyond pumpkin pie! Because pumpkin is a little bit sweet, it pairs well with spices. I made these chipotle pumpkin black bean enchiladas to balance that sweet, with some heat!
I made this recipe with canned pumpkin puree. The puree is so easy to keep on hand and add to meals, but cubed roasted pumpkin would also be delicious! Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme is Kids that Cook. The thing I remember cooking most as a child was tortillas. Mom would make a fresh batch every time we had tacos, and it was my job to flip them in the skillet. These vegetarian taco lunch wraps remind me of those tacos nights as a kid!
