I’ve pretty much always loved summer, but moving to the Midwest made me truly appreciate the summer months. During my short stint as a Sconnie*, I came to realize there are two modes of life in the Midwest: winter, and not winter. It might sound silly, but when winter weather lasts almost 6 months you …
Mushroom Stroganoff
Stroganoff was one of my favorite dinners growing up, so when I went vegan I KNEW I had to veganize it. This dish is extremely creamy and rich and is loaded with tons of deliciously meaty mushrooms. Serve it over freshly cooked pasta with a side of your favorite veggies and you’ve got yourself a …
Easy Enchilada Soup
I’m not much of a fan of winter, or even cool weather. I know this is a pretty controversial opinion, but I think fall is overrated and winter is totally unnecessary. If it were up to me, everyday would be an early summer day. Not too hot, and definitely not cold. The only good part …
Ooey Gooey Vegan Cheese Sauce

The Day-After-Thanksgiving Sandwich
Thanksgiving has come and gone, but my tastes for the holiday is here to stay. I absolutely love the flavors associated with this time of year. Flavors like thyme, rosemary, sage and of course cranberries fill my tummy and warm my heart. This sandwich has all the best tastes of Thanksgiving, without all the Thanksgiving …
Lovely Light Wheat Rolls
Fresh made bread is, in my humble opinion, the best part of any meal. Making bread always seems like a daunting task, but it really doesn’t have to be! This recipe is really easy and always impresses. This isn’t exactly a quick recipe (mostly because of the rolls need almost 2 hours of rising), but …
Festive Fall Stuffing (With Slow Cooker Option)
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am completely in denial about it! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by, in less than 2 months it’s going to be 2019, insane! But, whether I like it or not, the holiday season is upon us. For me, the holiday season means only …
Easy Egg-Free French Toast
Easy Egg-Free French Toast French Toast reminds me of my dad. When he made breakfast when I was a kid (usually on Sunday) it was usually French Toast, and it was always so delicious. A touch of sweetness, a little spice, a hint of vanilla, and a lot of love. I enjoyed dowsing my helping in maple syrup …
Cajun Chickpea Sammie
Well, summer is officially over and I’m not sure if I’m ready to let it go. Last week was the official start of fall which means school is back in session and I’m back at work. That also means I am now packing two lunches, instead of one, during the week. Brady loves taking leftovers, …
