MY FAVORITE BAKED TOFU

Easy baked tofu I think that everyone has superpowers. They can be something small or something huge, really anything that fits your definition of “superpower”.

VEGAN WINTER SQUASH PASTA

Have I mentioned my love of pasta before? Back when I was younger, my mother used to make my older brother and me our favorite dishes for our birthdays.

Here is a great article breaking those down…

EASY BEANS AND GREENS

I used to work at a restaurant that sourced all of their ingredients from local farms and suppliers. The menu changed daily based on the produce that the chef would receive every morning, meaning I got to sample a variety of fresh and genuine Italian fusion dishes. It was probably one of my favorite jobs…

VEGAN ALMOND AND RASPBERRY SHORTBREAD JAM COOKIES

Another cookie recipe! I am not a huge dessert fiend now, I used to be much more so when I was younger. But I am sucker for shortbread. Something about the simplicity, the buttery texture, and the versatility that shortbread offers is just so perfect to me.  Historically, all my favorite holiday cookies have a…
