Vegan Sweet Noodle Kugel

Vegan Sweet Noodle Kugel

Do you know what sweet noodle kugel is? As my Midwestern roots filled my childhood with dozens upon dozens of weird, dairy-laden foods that should totally not even exist, the weirdest thing about this dish is that I had never heard of kugel until two years ago. Loaded with cream cheese, sour cream, butter and...
Potato Skins

Potato Skins

You wouldn’t exactly call me a football fan. My football-related credentials can be boiled down to two things: at a certain point in college I really enjoyed avoiding writing papers by playing 10-Yard Fight, and at one point in my life, I listened to that embarrassingly homonymous band. I really have nothing bad to say about...
Apple Herb Stuffing

Apple Herb Stuffing

I’ve never been much of a stuffing fan, but I live with someone who loves the stuff, and let me tell you, homemade stuffing blows that bagged, just-add-water-and-microwave crap out of the water. Forget those creepily uniform, tan cubes of bread — this apple herb stuffing contains actual vegetables and comes as close to real,...
Warm Cabbage Salad

Have I mentioned that I love cabbage in all its forms? Because I do. This warm cabbage salad is a beautiful, bright, and nutty salad certain to cheer you up when the weather gets cool and the leaves start to fade.
Smoked Sweet Potato Home Fries

Smoked Sweet Potato Home Fries

Once, a friend who grew up in Idaho insisted that she could happily subsist on nothing but potatoes. She spent the following fifteen minutes lovingly detailing the many different ways you can prepare potatoes. While I respected her zealous love of the common spud, and was brought up eating a lot of potatoes myself (though...
Sesame Wakame Salad

Sesame Wakame Salad

I grew up minutes away from the blue-green waters of the Long Island Sound. The views here may not be as picturesque as those of the West Coast, and the water may not have the luminous hues of New York’s Green Lake, but these days I can regularly be found passing long hours at the...
Beet Salad

Beet Salad

When we lived together in college, my housemate Tessa loved avocados and beets. At the time, I had a serious aversion to both of these foods, and awaited Tessa’s assigned cooking night with dread. It felt like no matter what dish she cooked for our nightly dinners, she would find a way to squeeze avocados...
Jalapeño Hummus

Jalapeño Hummus

Owning a pressure cooker has improved my life in so many ways,  not the least of which is that keeping a bottomless container of jalapeño hummus in my fridge is easy peasy. Just set me up with a pile of carrot sticks and we’re in business.
Vegan Sausage Patties

Vegan Sausage Patties

I’ve gotten multiple requests for these vegan sausage patties in the two weeks since this blog has been back up, and with good reason! Sure, you can purchase expensive uncooked vegan sausage, but once you’ve tried these sausage patties, why would you want to?
Vegan Caesar Salad

Vegan Caesar Salad

This vegan Caesar salad is kind to sea creatures and only takes a few minutes to whip together.
Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce

Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce

As a young vegan, I wasn’t all that interested in cauliflower; eating it raw with veggie dip never really cut it for me. As such, this recipe for roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce has long been one of my favorite ways to prepare this versatile cruciferous vegetable.
