How to Make Sushi Without A Mat
John and I are both sushi lovers. Wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, and spicy seafood? Umami is the best. Veggies, California, spicy tuna, and fire-spitting dragons (is this even a real name?) We eat everything. While we tend to save sushi for special occasions, you can also make it at your home. As you may know, […]

Homemade Pumpkin Pasta
Several years back, I was captivated by Mark Bittman making pasta from scratch in his New York Times video. I didn’t know you could make pasta from scratch. The pasta was only available in boxes of dried sticks. I was blown away. After years of trying to make it myself, I eventually gave in and tried it with […]

Vegan Dirt Cake
You haven’t really lived if you’ve not had dirt cake or Kansas Dirt Cake, as it is known to me. As a child, this cookies-and-cream dessert was my favorite. Now that I am an adult, not much has changed except that dairy makes me queasy. Since I didn’t want to live with my dirt cake […]

Vegan Pumpkin Currant Cake
I’ve tried pumpkin and banana before, but never pumpkin bread. I added some currants to this batch, but I’m a bread purist, and I will probably leave them out the next time. You live, you learn. This pumpkin bread can be made in a matter of minutes with ingredients that you probably already have. You can […]

Stir-fry with Tofu that Tastes Good
I can remember the first time that I tried tofu. It was in a raw whole-grain wrap with mustard, veggies, and some other ingredients. I couldn’t finish the meal. When it comes to eating, I am a real trooper. I will finish anything because I wouldn’t say I like to waste food. Tofu was not […]

Deep Dish Apple Crumble Pie
The apple season is not complete until you’ve made a pie. It’s either that or a crisp. But I already made two, so pie is the answer! It doesn’t feel right not to make a pie when apple season is in full swing. John loves it, and I’m sure you do too. Apple is the best. […]

Poblano and Portobello Fajitas
My family spent a short time in New Mexico during my childhood. You better believe we ate a lot of Mexican food. I was floating along a river of slow-cooked carnitas, garden fresh salsas, and authentic refried beans. My palate was in foodie paradise, and I didn’t even realize it. The days were different. But […]

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Truthfully, I had wanted to make pumpkin pancakes for some time, and I just waited until November. (Hi, November!) As soon as I needed a jacket when I went outside, I knew that it was the right time. Oh, I love the fall season. And not just because of the pumpkin pancakes. Could I please […]
