Growing up, brats and sauerkraut with caraway seeds were in regular rotation. Recently, we had to improvise with what we had on-hand, and that’s how Savory Braised Cabbage came to be. We paired it with LightLife’s plant-based bratwurst and the result was a fantastically easy weeknight dinner that was on the table in about half […]
We recently overhauled cashew chicken and were so pleased with the results, we decided to try our had at sesame chicken. Once again, we are marinating and baking the chicken instead of dredging and stir-frying it in oil, and the chicken breast is so tender and juicy, it seamlessly takes the place of fattier dark […]
We promised to give you a bunch of ideas for using that great big batch of Instant Pot Pinto Beans (soaked or no-soak), and Vegan Cauliflower Rice and Bean Burritos is one of our favorites.

Our Vegan Cheesy Baked Cauliflower is a keto-friendly, plant-based way to get your mac and cheese fix for a fraction of the calories and carbs. We could go on, but you get the point. It’s a plate […]
Children of the 80’s know that keys go on shoestrings and pot pies are serious grindage. Growing up, few things in life were as satisfying to a latchkey kid as self-sufficiency and the ability to make a hot meal, albeit from a frozen box (in a ten-year-old’s world, that constituted cooking). Of course, as adults, […]
There are two types of people: those who love Korean beef, and those who have never tried it. We feel sorry for the latter, because it’s an indescribably delicious dish that is especially easy and affordable if using ground beef. In our ongoing effort to eat more plant-based meals, we created Vegan Korean Beef with […]
