Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

Ever since the delicious outcome of putting butternut squash in broccoli cheese soup, I’ve been trying to combine cheese and squash as often as possible.  Macaroni and cheese is usually a fatty, calorie dense food with little actual substance – but too delicious to resist.  Using squash in the base of the soup adds a […]

Chorizo-Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (Vegan)

I know it’s no where near bell pepper season, but I crave stuffed peppers all year round.  I like them a few different ways: fake meat and rice, chili and cornbread, full of veggies and tomato sauce– all are good choices!  My sister and dad mentioned last week that they were going to make chicken […]

vegan cheese sauce recipe

Easy Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce

After a week of particularly bad eating (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween… the usual suspects), I like to get back on track with a vegan week.  Being vegan isn’t so bad: until you remember cheese.  This definitely isn’t a vegan week– in fact, my grocery bill was probably 50% cheese this week (Hello, pound of gouda!), but […]

Raspberry Cheesecake Rangoons

I debated with myself weather to post a Valentine’s Day-sy recipe.  Every blog I look at has had red velvet this and bright pink that.  While 99% of those recipes seemed amazing, I’m not really a red velvet, pink, or overly romantic kind of person.  I am, however, a dessert person, so I decided any […]

Vegan Banana French Toast

Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day.  Lazy weekend breakfasts are even better, especially when they’re carby and covered in syrup.  While pancakes will probably be my favorite forever, sometimes I just really want french toast.  I don’t often keep eggs in the house, so most of my french toast recipes end […]

Fat Free, Whole Wheat Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls

*Photos updated 1/20/2014* Snow day! Here in Michigan, there is easily a foot of snow in my driveway this morning! Crazy.  I shoveled my way out to the road, only to find that the snow is so deep, even if I shoveled out my driveway, the bottom of my car can’t physically clear the height […]

vegetarian taco recipe

Buffalo Tofu “Chicken” Tacos

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday?  I definitely did not!  I did briefly tune in to the Puppy bowl and the kitty halftime show though and ate a lot of snacks!… Anyway, onto today’s recipe. I’m very late to the buffalo sauce game.  I have never been able to do spicy, just looking at […]

White Bean and Mushroom Chili

Vegan Bean and Mushroom White Chili

*Pictures Updated on 8/15/13 with Easy Whole Wheat Bread* White chicken chili has always looked like something I’d want to eat– if only it didn’t have chicken.  It’s creamy, smells a little spicy, and looks so comforting!  Not knowing what it actually tastes like, I had to start with recipes I found online and tweak […]

vegetarian muffin recipe

Cherry Almond Flax Muffins

For some reason, Valentine’s day always means cherry flavored everything.  I’m a big fan of the fake-tasting cherry chip boxed cake mix, though I don’t really like to admit it.  I took the idea of a cherry cupcake and ran with it, all the way to a real-cherry-tasting muffin. This recipe uses flax in place […]

broccoli cheese soup recipe

Healthier Broccoli Cheese Soup with Butternut Squash

There are lots of foods I’m more than a little obsessed with.  Anything with a container you can eat (think tacos and bread bowls), pancakes, soups, and cheese.  That puts broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl in the danger zone of deliciousness.  Unfortunately (or fortunately, if considering my waistline) broccoli cheese soups are very […]
