Let’s talk about layers. Flavor layers. Texture layers. Bacon layers. These sweet potato bowls have it all going on. Sweet, fluffy mashed sweet potatoes. Crispy, cajun-seasoned roasted chick peas. Tender sautéed kale. All layered and topped off with crispy crumbled bacon. Hello, happy dinner! You could certainly skip the bacon and have this be a delicious vegetarian meal. You’ll get plenty of protein from the chickpeas. (They make an excellent snack all on their own, if you’ve never tried them seasoned and roasted like this....

5 6 Published Aug 29, 2023, Updated Sep 06, 2023 I strategically created this sweet potato hash so each component would have a unique texture. There is nothing worse than making a “hash” and having it end up being a big mushy scramble. And that’s definitely not the case with this one. It has lots of textures going on. This hash is so well-rounded… it has greens and roasted veggies, protein from the eggs and breakfast sausage, healthy fats from the pecans and flavor factor from the spices....

I’ve literally spent the last few days agonizing about whether or not I should write this post for a number of reasons. I don’t want to make things weird between us. I feel like I’ve told this story over and over again and it feels weird to tell it again. I feel like I’m opening up a huge facet of my private life by sharing this story. I want to share information but not sound like an encyclopedia, and I want to make things personal but not have it sound like a bad Lifetime movie....

So here’s the thing. When developing recipes for our books, I sometimes make things 5, 10, 15 times to get it just perfect. And after that process, sometimes you just don’t make them again for a while! I had completely forgotten how good these were and from then on, they became a family regular. And I know where to find the recipe now. Over the years since our Savoring the Seasons book came out, this is consistently a reader-favorite so I felt like it was time I share it with all of you guys, here!...

With over 150 5-star ratings, this has become one of my most popular recipes. Since creating this recipe, I have also made a Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake and Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake that I think you’ll love! Meet the vegan cheesecake of your dreams. Seriously, I was blown away by how delicious this turned out! No one would guess this cheesecake is vegan. It’s smooth, rich and creamy but also light in texture....

Since then, I feel like I have become something of a queso connoisseur. I’ve tried the good (Torchy’s Tacos in Texas is probably the best I’ve ever had), I’ve tried the bad (which, at its worst, is thin and processed-tasting but still not the worst thing) and I have experimented. What I’ve found is that a lot of people (myself included) try to fancy up the queso recipe itself. Don’t do that....

No fish vegan poke bowl Hawaiian-inspired, this poke bowl without fish features layers of tofu poke, simple cucumber salad, fresh mangos, rice, avocado, and more! A colorful lunch or dinner is bursting with flavor and drizzled with an incredible but simple wasabi mayo sauce. I seriously can not get enough! Poke (pronounced “poh-kay”) is a Hawaiian rice bowl traditionally topped with raw ahi tuna tossed in soy sauce with fresh fruits and vegetables....

These pumpkin cupcakes are such a fun dessert for the fall season, you won’t want to stop at just one! As a bonus, they’re really easy to make. The maple pecan frosting is to DIE FOR, and it makes these cupcakes extra special. You could also try using this amazing frosting on my pumpkin cake bars or spread a little on vegan pumpkin bread. Pumpkin puree and the fall spices you know and love are mixed together to create a soft and fluffy cupcake....

This wonderful Vegan Strawberry Cake is adapted from my Vegan Vanilla Cake recipe. It’s incredibly moist, fluffy and made with plenty of fresh strawberries! I took a lot of tips from Sally’s Baking Addiction, and used reduced strawberry puree in the cake batter and freeze dried strawberries in the frosting. If you’d rather use fresh strawberries in the frosting as well, you can easily make the frosting from these Vegan Strawberry Cupcakes instead....

Before I went vegan over 10 years ago, I was the white chocolate queen. White chocolate mochas, white chocolate chip cookies, cookies and cream candy bars; you get the idea. I preferred white chocolate over milk or dark, but I had to give up the obsession when I stopped consuming dairy. There are a few brands of dairy free white chocolate chips out there, but I’ve never tried them. They are expensive and hard to find, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in a real store....

Welcome to March, my friends! I’m not quite sure how we are into month three of the year, since it feels like 2020 just started, but I’ve got lots to look forward to this month, so I’m going with it. We have the kids’ spring break later this month, and we are going to Disney World! Two years ago, we took them for the first time and this will be our second trip....

5 21 Published May 20, 2022, Updated Nov 21, 2023 Meal-sized salads are totally my thing and I’m all about eating a big ol’ salad for dinner! A while back I shared my guide for how to build a healthy salad, which involves a good source of protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. That said, I realize that a little inspiration is always nice so I’m sharing this dinner salad roundup with 21 salad recipes that you’ll actually enjoy serving for dinner....

4.6 43 Published Mar 24, 2023, Updated Oct 06, 2023 Date shakes are basically a creamy milkshake made with dates! They originated in Southern California, specifically the Palm Springs region where date palms grow abundantly. I’ve never actually been to Palm Springs, but given my love for medjool dates I knew that I needed to create a healthier homemade version the moment I heard about them. Instead of making these shakes with vanilla ice cream I decided to use banana ice cream....

4.93 31 Published Dec 14, 2020, Updated Oct 12, 2022 After seeing a few recipes for homemade chocolate turtles around the web I thought it’d be fun to make my own version — a bit healthier with Medjool dates instead of caramel and dairy-free dark chocolate chips for the chocolate. Medjool dates have a lovely caramel flavor and sticky consistency so I knew it would work well. What I didn’t realize is just how easy the homemade turtles would be to make....

I managed to put together a few ideas for that night, but since then, I’ve thought a lot about the topic. What’s the most valuable thing I could have to say or teach? Then I saw this pretty neat post and it got my wheels a-turnin’. I decided to send out a little survey to my friends in the culinary world to help me out. I asked one question – “What do you wish home cooks knew?...

Ingredients Needed Cabbage – I use standard green cabbage, but red cabbage would be fine as well. Kale – I recommend buying a bunch of kale (as opposed to a bag of pre-chopped, because it will be much easier to cut the stems out and leave the leaves you need. Butternut Squash – To simplify, I like to buy a bag of pre-chopped butternut squash, but you could certainly buy a whole squash and roast, if you like....
