Recipe: Vegan Vanilla-Ginger Cupcakes

Hello friends,

I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day or simply a good Saturday. Since my partner didn’t get home from sunny California until 2am on Friday night, I woke up quite a few hours before he did so I made cupcakes! After raiding my cabinets and realizing I had very few baking ingredients, I opted to create a new cupcake based on the golden vanilla cupcakes in Vegan Cupcakes Takeover the World (seriously buy this book – it’s a must have!).

Game Day Recipes: Avocado Jalapeño Wontons and Sriracha Cauliflower

Hello friends!

On Sunday I hosted a little get together. My friends and I gathered to play games while the ‘Big Game’ was on TV. From the feedback, my party treats were a hit. I made Roasted Sriracha Cauliflower Bites with Peanut Dipping Sauce from Thug Kitchen: The Official Cookbook: Eat Like You Give a F*ck and I whipped up some of my very own avocado jalapeño wontons.  Continue reading “Game Day Recipes: Avocado Jalapeño Wontons and Sriracha Cauliflower”

Vegan Enchilada Lasagna: Combining an Italian Favorite with Mexican Flavors

Hi Friends!

I think I’ve mentioned that I am Italian so of course I LOVE pasta. During the holidays, my family eats lasagna, not just any ‘traditional’ holiday dish. My boyfriend and I also have a real hankering for Mexican flavors. When we visited LA this past year, I don’t think a day went by when one of us didn’t get something from a taco truck.

So how do you combine the best of both worlds? Easy. Make an enchilada lasagna. Many vegetarian recipes for this concept already exist online (but most call this a casserole); however, it’s a little harder to find a vegan version that lives up to your expectations – and that of your omnivore friends.

That’s why I’ve decided to share my tried and true version of this dish. The best part – it’s even better as leftovers or a pre-made dish made at the beginning of the week!

I hope you enjoy this recipe, as much as I enjoy eating it! Oh, and please feel free to share widely, just give me some credit or a link back. Thanks!

Enjoy!

REVIEW: Field Roast Vegan Chao Slices, Love at First Bite

Hello friends!

I was on the road traveling for work today, and after such a long day all I could handle was a quick & easy dinner. What’s easier and tastier than a veggie burger on rye bread? Nothing!

Today I tried the new Tomato Cayenne Field Roast Vegan Chao slices rather than using my usual Daiya cheese. I have to say – it was love at first bite. (ha-ha, you see what I did there?)
