Scott & I love cinnamon buns, so when I came across this recipe for Cinnamon Bun Bread, I had to try it immediately. I veganized the original recipe and made it healthier by using whole wheat pastry flour, a flax egg, fat free soy milk and applesauce instead of butter and oil.
The verdict? It was [...]

I’m bringing it back to basics with this soup. There are only 6 ingredients (not counting water or pepper) to this soup, but it’s delicious. It was my first time using a mock-meat broth (I admit I was extremely skeptical) but I am impressed! If you don’t have access to the mock broth, use 5-6 [...]

I’ve seen the Vcon Seiten Piccata recipe on food blogs here and there. It sounded great, but despite the notation in the cookbook proclaiming it was easy to make, I knew it would be too labor intensive for a weeknight meal. I emailed a bunch of fellow foodies looking for a review and no one [...]

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I like it best served for dinner! This week we’ve had breakfast for dinner twice: blueberry pancakes & tofu scramble with toast.
You may have caught my last post about these oil-free pancakes. The recipe has been perfected (and fruit added!) The recipe will be in my [...]

1/4 cup raw sugar or less

This soup is really thick, making it great for dipping toast into it. I also like to take it out of the “soup” category by tossing in cooked chickpeas and serving it on a plate with a baby spinach salad. Other perks? Since the crockpot’s involved it’s pitfully easy to make. The ingredients are also [...]

Several variations to my wholesome mac-n-cheeze recipe will be included in the next e-cookbook, with this variation being our favorite one. The first time I made this dish, Scott said “in the cookbook, make sure you tell them to eat it on football Sunday.” Indeed, this would be a great Superbowl party food… It’s so [...]

I was tempted to call this “apple pie soup” because it fills the house with that exact aroma when it’s simmering. Who needs glade candles? Just make a pot of soup! This simple soup is pure bliss — the apples and cinnamon naturally compliment the squash flavoring and the hint of curry with a touch [...]

I’m sorry to tease you with a recipe you can’t have… yet (and I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t MoFo!) but get your mouths and bellies ready for THIS meal. It’s in the next e-cookbook and its rock-n-roll awesome.
(Don’t forget to get in on the contest to win a free copy of my next [...]
