Super Simple Vegan Chili
It is the day before Fourth of July here in the states, and it’s also the day before a full work week that we have to get ready for. This chili is a perfect recipe for both scenarios– easy and cheap to make in large batches for cookouts or potlucks, and also perfect to portion…

Vegan Classic Pepperoni Pizza with Stuffed Crust
It is finally Friday; and I don’t know about you, but it has felt like a very long week. More often than not, I cook for flavor and nutrition– but sometimes your mental health is going to be the most important thing, and you need food that feels comforting over all else. Pepperoni pizza is…

Vegan Pho
Pho is definitely at the top of my comfort foods list, as it is for so many of my friends and family. I grew up in the Seattle area, which has a huge Asian population, and access to tons of fantastic and authentic Asian food. Personally, I don’t think I could’ve grown up in a…

Cream of Collard Greens (Vegan)
Cream of Collard Greens is a comfort food classic, turning the deep flavors of collards into a rich, filling meal. Usually this type of soup would be dependent on cream and butter, but I assure you that the rich creaminess of this recipe will leave you missing nothing. I like to call this soup, “Poor…

BBQ Pulled Jackfruit
This BBQ Jackfruit is without-a-doubt better than any pulled BBQ I’ve ever had in my life, vegan or not. If you don’t believe me, make this recipe. This BBQ sauce is perfect, and that really is the key. It has the perfect amount of sweet and spicy, with rich complex flavors that cook into the…

Tempeh “No-Carne Asada”
These days, I don’t feel discluded from events too often due to being vegan. I can usually find something vegan on a restaurant or bar menu, or bring my own food to an event. The first time I ever tried to live vegan, it was 2005– I was a teenager, and the only fast food…

Heart Beet Pizza
I made this pizza just a few months ago for Valentine’s day, but it’s become my favorite go-to recipe for any special occasion– birthdays, anniversary, bachelorette parties… any time someone you love wants a special party food. Roasted beets are one of my all-time favorite ingredients, and are even fantastic to eat just on their own.…

Seitan Burgundy (Vegan Bourguignon)
I made this Burgundy, also called Bourguignon, with seitan for the first time in culinary school; and I approached it like it was the most intimidating dish in the world. In my defense, bourguignon is a classic French dish, which feels a little inherently intimidating; let alone making it vegan. Let me tell you— it’s…

Grilled Zucchini Rolls
Zucchini rolls couldn’t be easier to make, or more delicious. They are a perfect picnic snack or quick lunch, and have an awesome balance of nutrition. This recipe includes Tofu Ricotta which is a very simple blend of ingredients, and can be made in large batches ahead of time, making these rolls – and a…

Tofu Ricotta
This recipe couldn’t be more simple– just put all the ingredients in a food processor, and blend. That’s it. Seriously. For this recipe, I use sunflower kernels for two purposes: first, to extract more nutty, umami flavor into the ricotta; second, to emulate the texture of cheese curds. I prefer the texture to be this…

Vegan Seitan Piccata
I don’t know about you, but I am fascinated with American cuisine; not only what it is now, but how it came to be. So many of America’s favorite foods are based on comfort foods from around the world, which changed into something new in the states based on availability (or unavailability) of ingredients & …

Carrot + Green Chile Baked Polenta
Baked Polenta is one of my newest food obsessions– it’s rich and warm, like having a whole meal of savory veggies & cornbread. This baked polenta recipe is heavy on Mexican flavors, because those are my favorite flavors to have with warm sweet corn; made with canned green chiles, carrots, onions, garlic and the deep…
