Pepper jelly cream cheese dip is an appetizer most southerns know and love. This dip reminds me of the holidays but it can be served year round. That’s why I wanted to veganize it for everyone to enjoy dairy free vegan pepper jelly dip! It’s really a pretty simple concept you just dump pepper jelly on top of cream cheese and serve with crackers. To make this vegan pepper jelly dip you need to make cashew cream cheese first.  To make the cashew cream cheese you will need a good blender or food processor. The cashew cream cheese will save in the fridge for a few days. It also makes a…

This recipe for Vegan Carrot Salad is simple and straightforward because I wanted to let the sweetness of the carrots shine through. There are only five ingredients and it is pretty quick to whip up. If you have a food processor with a shredder function it should take less than ten minutes to make this yummy raw vegan carrot salad. If you don’t have a food processor you can still make it by using a box grater to shred the carrots but it will take a little more time. Love Carrots?

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?

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…
