I recently shared my recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Coulis with a student and since it came out so delicious, I decided to make it for a client this week.  It's probably one of the easiest sauces to make, and yet the flavor is so rich and decaden...

I made these muffins over the weekend as a quick breakfast before we headed out to the Huntington gardens with Ryan’s parents.  If you live in the L.A. area and you haven’t been to the Huntington, you should definitely check it out.  They have some great exhibits going on right now, and the gardens themselves [...]

Do you ever get home late on a holiday, a primarily dessert-centered holiday, and realize it’s too late to bake anything? I guess these things happen on, say, a Thursday too… But anyway, last night I found a solution! Needing a Valentine’s Day dessert in a hurry, I pulled out an Amy’s Chocolate Cake I [...]

Why not make a little deliciousness for yourself today?

Now that we’ve covered dips and snacks, let’s get into some more substantial eats. When you’re cooking for a crowd, you can’t go wrong with a casserole, and this Mexican-Style Casserole is really tasty.  It’s like a cross between a burrito and lasagna, and it’ll serve a lot of people without a lot of work, which [...]

Last month I placed an order full of fun, new-to-me goodies from Vegan Essentials, and although I took photos, the goods are long consumed and I’ve yet to do any reviews.  So I thought rather than make a bunch of little posts, I’d just make one big review-ish post! I was drawn to the Vegan [...]

I’ve already been wondering if a juicer and [...]

Ryan saw some white chocolate covered pretzels at Trader Joe’s the other day, but they weren’t vegan so he asked me if I could make something similar.  I’ve been thinking about it ever since and finally had an excuse to make some over the weekend. Now, I’m a big white chocolate fan.  When I was a [...]

With November, ends my first Vegan MoFo.  It went so fast!  It’s been a great experience and I’ve met new people, found new blogs to read.  There were so many delicious vegan recipes shared, it would take the entire year to even make the best of them, but here are my favorite eats from the [...]

Every year, my grandma pays for the ingredients to whip up a family Christmas feast, and I do the actual whipping up.  Preparing a huge meal without the grocery bill?  I’ll take it!  Since she likes to know her grocery list and budget early, I usually have to pick out the vegan Christmas menu before [...]
