Pumpkinfest Finale: Pumpkincredible Hummus
Here it is, my last Pumpkinfest post. I’ve posted quite a few sweet pumpkin recipes, so thought I’d deliver a savory recipe to give the Pumpkin Chickpea Cauliflower Curry some company. What’s a month without hummus? Really, can I go one month without posting – or at least talking about – hummus? I have made… Continue Reading
2 Vegan Parmesan Substitutes: Brazil Nut Parmezan and Cheesy Sprinkle
In my recent plant-powered kids post about picky eaters, I mentioned two toppings that our girls love: “Cheesy Sprinkle” and “Brazil Nut Parm“.

Manly-Man Veggie Burgers for Father’s Day and “hegans”
Post preamble: My father passed away when I was young (I talked about it in this post), so Father’s Day is very meaningful for me.

Ch-Ch Chocolate Coconut Ch-Ch-Chia Pudding!
I know. The “ch-ch-ch-CHIA” thing has gotten old. But, it’s so hard to resist using it! So I use it here – just the once. If you aren’t familiar with chia seeds, they are itty bitty seeds that pack a nutritional punch! Reported to have the richest and most stable source of omega 3′s, chia… Continue Reading
MONSTA! Cookies
I consider these cookies the sequel to my ever-popular “Super Charge-Me Cookies” from ed&bv. And, like the super chargers, these come with a story. Our family was visiting my sister one afternoon, and she asked if we’d like a cookie. *uh, yeah*! When I think of cookie, I usually envision a smaller, two-bite kind of… Continue Reading
