Do you call it dressing or stuffing? I just call it yummy. This vegan cornbread stuffing is easy to make and perfect for holiday meals. What are some of your must have dishes at holiday celebrations? I like to mix it up and try different recipes. I won’t stray too far from traditional dishes for holiday meals but it’s fun to try new ideas and see what everyone enjoys. One thing is for sure I always make way too much food but leftovers the next day are half the fun right? I also love using all of my different serving dishes at holiday time too. Sure sometimes we keep it…

To make a good sandwich you need a good base spread. One of my new favorite things is Oasis Naturals Almond Dip. I buy it at Sprouts and it comes in three yummy vegan flavors. The smoky chipotle is my favorite. It is spicy but not overpowering. I used that as the spread for this Chipotle Bagel Sandwich. Carrot or red pepper hummus would have also worked well on this sandwich. The almond dip is really good with carrots. Thats why I decided to make some carrot ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Then layered on top of the carrots apple slices and radish sprouts. More Sandwich Ideas? Southern Tomato Sandwich…

Did you ever roast pumpkin seeds as a kid? This was something we always did at our house when we carved jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. Pumpkin seeds make a fun healthy snack. They are a good source of protein and iron. To add a grown up twist to this treat you can add seasoning when you roast the seeds. Any spice mix you like will work.

Secret confession time this meal was a total accident. I saved a recipe on Pinterest for “Thai Chickpea salad” that I was going to make into a wrap but when it was time to make dinner I couldn’t find my Pin or the recipe. I looked everywhere…both my Pinterest accounts…and all of my secret boards. No Pin for thai chickpeas anywhere; no familiar looking images in a quick Google search. I had no idea what I was going to make for dinner. So I did what any sane person would do I bitched about it on Twitter and then I starting searching my kitchen cabinets for something I could cook…

That’s right you heard me, get excited, for PSL Vegan Cheesecake! It’s that time of year when the whole world goes insane for pumpkin spice, your truly included. I don’t know why. For me I think it’s about faking it until it really feels like fall outside. If I turn the AC on high, close my eyes, and inhale delicious pumpkin spice scent then I can pretend it is fall outside. But in truth it’s 90 something degrees outside and I’m beyond tired of sweating in this summer heat. We probably have another solid month of summer before it’s cool enough outside to break out my boots and leggings. So…

It’s fall in the South and that means Football. Fall also makes me think of country fair foods…like funnel cake and corn dogs. These Vegan Corn Dog Poppers are the perfect tailgate party food. Also vegan corn dogs are a simply fun snack! They are fast, easy to make, and super portable. I love on the go food that people can eat while they are walking around and mingling at a party. Eric says they are a a great choice for walking around food because they hold together well enough to shake at people. I don’t know why you would want to shake your food a people but that is something…

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip is a healthy afternoon snack option. It is Dairy Free and Vegan but it still feels rich and indulgent. My Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip is super quick to whip together. It took me less than ten minutes to make. You can make it in advance but it is best when blended right before serving. Chocolate dip? Yes, Please! It is so creamy and smooth! I love this dip because it is the perfect dip for apple slices. I often take apple slices and regular peanut butter to work with me for a snack so sometimes I get a little tired of the plain peanut butter. This…

Watermelon is a summer staple. I am more of a fan than my husband is but he won’t turn down a finely crafted cocktail. I can’t get enough of these! This Watermelon Tequila Fizz has been our cocktail of choice for the past few weeks. It is so light and refreshing. It is the perfect way to end a humid lazy summer day. Looking for more drink ideas?

I have a love/hate relationship with summer so I have mixed emotions about the end of summer. I love the making trips to the local farmers market and the abundance of seasonal fruits and veggies but I hate the heat and humidity. For many people Labor Day marks the end of summer. It’s the last excuse to throw a great summer bash. I love any excuse to feed people I love. This salad was inspired by that spirit. A stone fruit is any fruit with a “pit” inside. Get creative and use any stone fruit you like. I used cherries, plums, and nectarines but peaches would also be amazing in…

The tomato sandwich is a southern classic. It is simple, so easy to make, and so so good. The classic version that I grew up with is the basic bread mayo and tomato but this version of a southern tomato sandwich is a little more modern.
