Ever since I posted my carrot dog recipe a few weeks ago, people have been raving about how much they taste like real hot dogs! I decided to use my carrot dog marinade on baby carrots to make a snack-sized, toddler-friendly version: mini corn dogs! …
Cucumber Bites with Lemon Dill Ricotta
If you live in the Southeast and aren’t doing any gardening this summer, you’re really missing out! We’ve had afternoon rain showers almost daily, which have kept my vegetable garden quite happy. I planted my garden late this year because we had our garden boxes rebuilt and more organic soil brought in, delaying everything. But for whatever reason, the plants love the new soil and the weeds don’t. I’m so happy! …
Zucchini & Tomato Lasagna
I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!
Our family celebrated with a delicious meal of carrot dogs and oven fries, which you must try if you haven’t already.
Anyway, last week I taught a cooking class at Southern Home & Kitchen here in Winston, and it was a great success! The theme was raw vegan, so “cooking” class is actually a misnomer. The menu included three flavors of cashew cheese, a pear and arugula salad with Meyer lemon dressing, raw zucchini and tomato lasagna, and fresh mint ice cream with chocolate date sauce. I also brought samples of my mini cinnamon rolls for everyone to try. The menu was a hit!…
PSA: Carrot Dogs Are Delicious
I used to joke with my husband that I was going make him carrot dogs, as if putting a carrot in a bun would be the saddest and most pitiful meat substitution in the vegan world. It was not until I received the latest PlantPure Nation newsletter, which praised the carrot dog, did I realize that carrot dogs are more than just placing a carrot in a bun and adding toppings. …
Trying New Things: Fiddlehead Ferns
A question I’m often asked is, “If you suddenly didn’t have lupus anymore, would you go back to eating the way you used to (as in, eating a standard American diet)?” My answer: absolutely not. The purpose of that question is of course to determine whether a plant-based diet is “worth it” for a seemingly healthy person, or if I regularly choke down my vegetable dinner then go to my room to cry over how much I miss chicken fingers and baked brie. Trust me, it’s so worth it….
Almond Pudding Cakes with Dulce de Leche Sauce
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
To celebrate this excuse to drink margaritas holiday, I’m sharing my most recent development: almond pudding cake with dulce de leche sauce! It’s warm, gooey, sweet, and surprisingly healthful!
These little cakes are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar. You could even eat these as breakfast muffins if you wanted! …
Watermelon Rhubarb Limeade
As a plant-based foodie and lover of all types of vegetation, it’s hard to contain my excitement when spring rolls around and fresh, local produce appears in the markets. After making everything I can with peas and asparagus, I move on to those beautiful stalks of rhubarb, which are impossible for me to resist. …
Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies
As promised in my Feeding Toddlers article, here is the recipe for my Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies! Aren’t they cute? These babies are no-bake, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free. And yet, they’re mini PB & J sandwiches — like “Uncrustables” without the junk ingredients!…
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
In my previous post, Feeding Toddlers, I added a list of nutritious snacks for toddlers which included a new favorite in our household: mini cinnamon rolls!…
Gnocchi Primavera
It’s officially spring, so naturally I’ve been craving the spring vegetables in pasta primavera. And since I prefer potatoes as my starch over pasta, I concocted this beautiful and comforting gnocchi primavera with walnut Parmesan!…
Carrot Cake Oatmeal
It’s finally feeling like springtime here in Winton-Salem, which means the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and Abby is playing outside again! After being indoors with my almost two-year-old all winter, it’s such a treat to be able to play outside and work in the garden again. …
Golden Spice Cream with Pumpkin Seed Crackle
I’ve been all about turmeric lately, so it’s only fitting that when we finally had a hint of warm weather, I decided to make turmeric and ginger ice cream — spice cream, if you will. And since I’ve been loving my golden milk almost every night, why not use the same flavors to make a deliciously creamy dessert?
This golden spice cream is unlike any ice cream flavor you’ve ever tried, yet it’s so rich and satisfying. The addition of coconut cream makes it so thick, my husband compared it to custard! You won’t miss the dairy, I promise….
