Vegan Jalapeño Poppers
I made jalapeño poppers on my partner’s request for Thanksgiving this year, and they turned out beyond my expectation.

When people ask me […]

Plant-Based Caesar Salad
Spring is slowly creeping up, and I’m starting to slowly phase out of hot soups and gumbo, and into some warmer weather favorites. I’m in California, so it’s already starting to get pretty warm, and so begins me not wanting to be over a hot stove every night. Caesar Salad is one of my all-time […]
