A delicious, healthy recipe with chickpeas made in the instant pot, with stovetop method included. Easy whole foods vegan recipe that’s family-friendly! These stewed chickpeas began on the stovetop. Then, I realized I could more quickly reduce the onions and dates using my Instant Pot. I’ve had a lot of requests for pressure cooker recipes. It’s…
Ice Cream. My favorite dessert ever — as I’ve mentioned a couple of times. Possibly my favorite food. In fact, when we eat dinner the girls love to play the game “what’s your favorite food”? They always say “mom’s favorite food is ice cream“. I can’t argue! This Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream recipe is from the Dreena Dazs chapter…
After returning with groceries the other day, I thought… “Why not pop it up on the blog?“ So I did! I thought it might be useful to see a glimpse of what I normally buy for vegan groceries. Some days it’s a big produce shop, other days it’s picking up more staples or some of…

Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a creamsicle, and I haven’t seen any vegan ice cream verson. (anyone?… do they exist?) I wanted to recreate…
News: The Cheese Trap! Some of you may recall my talk of “a big project” (aka The Cheese Trap) this past year. Since September, I have been developing recipes and putting those recipes through rounds of testing. Pause: I cannot continue to talk about this project without expressing appreciation for my testing group. I couldn’t have pulled…
If you’ve been using my books since way back (like early days with The Everyday Vegan and Vive le Vegan), you’ll know I haven’t always loved all my veggies.
