I can’t believe it’s been nearly a month since I posted a damn recipe!!!

Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies when we’re older? I miss the days when it seemed like forever for Christmas to come. Counting the days off my advent calendar was torturous! Now, The Holidays come and go with the blink of an eye. Honestly, how is Christmas less than three weeks away?!

Anywho, with all the Holiday parties coming up, I bet you need some crowd-pleasing recipes! No need to fret, because I made the most amazing vegan Holiday Croquettes that are perfect for all the festive celebrations you’re about to partake in.

You’re welcome.

Garlic Herbed Scalloped Potatoes (Vegan + Gluten Free)

By 17 Comments

You guys, I can’t believe it’s already November! Seriously, where the fu*k did time go?!

I don’t know about you, but this time of the year is my favorite time to cook! Something about being in the kitchen in the colder months makes my heart extremely happy. Plus, all of the classic holiday dishes from my childhood bring back the best nostalgic memories.

If you’re new to this whole vegan thing, then this time of the year might seem a bit overwhelming. After all, the dishes centered around The Holidays aren’t traditionally vegan friendly.

Luckily, we’ve got some AMAZING recipes that will put you back into the spirit!

Let’s start with potatoes, shall we?

Vegan Tofu Spring Rolls (GF)

By Leave a Comment

I love spring rolls. I could eat them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

In fact, I have eaten them every single day this week.

I mean, if you ask me, what’s not to love about them? They’re damn delicious, extremely versatile, pretty simple (and fun!) to make, and can be enjoyed as a healthy lunch, dinner, or snack…or breakfast, or brunch, or all day!

I told you, I love spring rolls.

The Best Vegan Pasta Salad (Gluten Free)

By Leave a Comment

When I think of summers in the Central Valley, a few things always come to mind…

  1. Baseball Games at Chuckchansi Park (Go Fresno Grizlzies!!!)
  2. Cold Brews at Tioga
  3. Pasta Salad

If you ask me, it’s not a proper summer if all three above named items don’t make a debut at least once.

Nacho Average Hot Dogs (Vegan)

By Leave a Comment

I always have a pretty good laugh when my omnivore friends tell me that plant-based meats are weird…especially when it comes to hot dogs.

I mean, if you think about it, hot dogs are just a bunch of remnants of the pig that no one wants to eat – all ground up into a link, then encased with intestines to hold it all together.

Doesn’t that sound way more scrumptious than a veggie dog?! I didn’t fucking think so.

Walnut Brownie Cookies (Vegan)

By 5 Comments

Most of you probably don’t know this about me, but I am – or I used to be, before I became vegan – obsessed with brownies.

Growing up, my mom would bake brownies religiously. No special ingredients or secret recipe…just your basic, straight-out-of-the-box Betty Crocker brownies. I fuckin’ loved ’em.

It’s been years since I’ve had one of my mom’s brownies, so when I received Katie and Kate’s book, Frugal Vegan, and saw the recipe for these vegan walnut brownie cookies, I knew I had to make them.

Blackberry & Cherry Lemonade Whiskey Smash

By Leave a Comment

If you know me – even if it’s only through your computer screen – then you know I love to drink.

The fact that I like to knock a few back every now and again comes as no surprise to most, so when Ashlee brought it to my attention that we don’t even have one cocktail recipe on the blog, I nearly slapped myself silly!!! (or if Phil were here, she’d slap me silly. literally. we literally slap the sense into each other.)

Herb Crusted Provolone Cheese (Vegan)

By 16 Comments

If you ask me, the most annoying phrase I hear non-vegans say is, “I could go totally go vegan, but I love cheese way too much.”

I mean, besides the exploitation, rape, and killing of baby male calves for veal (since male cows don’t produce milk, they’re considered useless – hence the veal industry) it’s amazing! *cue eye rolling*

Did you know in some small Dairy towns, people are literally woken up by the howling of mother cows crying for their babies? Could you imagine carrying a child for 9 months and then having it ripped away? Like humans, cows form very special bonds with their children…and just for the fucking sake of cheese and dairy, we exploit these animals for our own selfishness. We are the ONLY SPECIES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that drinks milk from another species.

SO. FUCKING. WEIRD.

By Leave a Comment

With Summer right around the corner, Ashlee and I figured it’s about damn time to get a cool, refreshing, and quick popsicle recipe up on the blog for you! I don’t know about you guys, but popsicles are pretty much a staple in our diets during the hot, summer months!

My friends, we introduce to you…(drum roll, please)

PISTACHIO, BLUEBERRY, AND MAPLE COCONUT CREME POPSICLES!!!

Aside from the fact that our pistachio, blueberry, and maple coconut creme  popsicles are delicious, they require just a few ingredients and almost no time (aside for the freezing part) to make!
