Today, being Thursday, is craft day with my dear friend, Tish. Our plan today is to make vanilla extract, among some other activities to be determined…maybe a trip to the craft store. But before I head out, a quick post. This week has been a bit of a marathon of recipes in preparation for Thanksgiving and […]

Savory Stuffing
If I could only have one of the typical Thanksgiving dishes, I’m pretty sure I would choose stuffing. A pile of stuffing doused in mushroom gravy is just about as good as it gets, in my opinion. Each family seems to have their own special stuffing recipe–some with nuts, some with cornbread, some with dried fruit, […]
Pumpkin Pie
Last week, I announced a ‘Veganize Thanksgiving Recipe Challenge’ where I asked readers to comment with their requests for vegan versions of Thanksgiving favorites. Anne wrote in with a request for vegan mashed potatoes and so yesterday I posted the Garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe that will go wonderfully with the Mushroom Gravy. Holly wrote in […]
Basic Pie Crust
This basic pie crust is flaky, easy to make and complementary to just about any kind of pie you’re making. I’ve gone through phases where I have been intimidated by pie crusts and have opted to just buy pre-made crusts instead. The options for vegan pre-made pie crusts are a bit more limited than the non-vegan variety, which can […]
Week in Review: Ch-ch-ch-changes
This week has been quite a lot of work behind the scenes on the site. I switched to self-hosting the blog in order to gain more flexibility and control over what the site has to offer. However, this was WAY more involved than I had anticipated. I am still working out a lot of the […]
Raw Cranberry Orange Relish
For Thanksgiving, there tend to be the three main kinds of cranberry sauce–the pureed smooth gelatin one, the cooked saucy one with the occasional whole cranberry, and the fresh slightly chunky relish variety. Some families go for the gelatinous one in the can, others make a gelatin cranberry sauce from scratch, others are strictly for the cooked […]
Roasted Red Potatoes
These are one of the simplest preparations for roasted potatoes. You can make any kind of potatoes this way. If the potatoes are large, cut them into chunks. I used the teeniest tiniest baby red potatoes and so I did not cut them, but for normal baby red potatoes you may want to halve them or […]
Mushroom Gravy
When we had our first vegan Thanksgiving at our house a few years ago, for 20+ guests, one of Eric’s family members brought buckets of vegan mushroom gravy. It was such a hit–so creamy and rich and satisfying–that I was determined to recreate it. I wasn’t able to get the recipe for the exact gravy that […]
Week in Review: General Exams and New Life in the Garden
This week was a big week consumed with taking the general exam. It was exhausting, and thought-provoking, and I am so glad it’s behind me! Eric and I have been taking a break from work and school since Friday night and it’s been glorious. Friday night, I finished my exam at 7pm and we went […]
Tamari Sesame Kale Chips
I like kale chips as a snack, but had never tried making them until today. Partly I was inspired by Gena at Choosing Raw, who posted a kale chip recipe this week, and partly I was inspired by our trip to the vegetable stand this weekend where organic kale was only $0.59 per bunch (we ended up with […]
