mamma mia whatta pasta!

Hello, Friends! Here’s an easy pasta dish that is chock full of amazing ingredients. It’s wonderful served warm with buttery garlic bread, or cold for a delicious lunch you can pack into a lunchbox or for a picnic. You can use whatever pasta you like that catches sauce well, but my favorite one to use…

vegan taco-stuffed tomatoes

photo credit ~ Andrea Cline It’s that time of year when everyone seems to start gravitating towards light, fresh, easy meals. I, for one, don’t like spending spring and summer days in a hot kitchen. I like meals that go together quickly and that take minimal ingredients. This vegan taco-stuffed tomato is a great example…

air fryer strawberry donuts

Ahhhh! Aren’t these just the cutest donuts you’ve ever seen? The pink frosting and those SPRINKLES! Come on! How adorable would these be for a tea party, or Mother’s Day brunch? These little strawberry donuts look like something from a pastry shop but they take about 15 minutes to make. I’m serious. They’re a riff…

one bowl coconut cake

I already have a lot of coconut cake recipes on my blog, but this one is so delicious and easy that I had to share it with you. It’s super moist, and vegan! Yay! The entire cake was demolished in a day. Everyone loved it. This is going to be my new “go to” coconut…

deviled mini potatoes

These little, stuffed, deviled, baby potatoes are so delicious they melt in your mouth. They’re an amazing vegan alternative to, well, eggs. Besides being vegan, they’re great for people who have a sensitivity or allergy to eggs. And I know I just made the vegans happy because now you have a reason to use your…

best vegan gravy

Hello Friends! I just had to stop by and drop off this amazing, vegan gravy recipe. It’s become somewhat of a problem in our house. My husband, who is not vegan, even loves it. He has made a habit of cooking up an enormous pile of air fryer French fries and using this gravy as…

crock pot spaghetti western

I’ve thought about making this dish for quite some time. I love the play on words, and I also think the combination of a southwest, Tex Mex dish would pair well with creamy spaghetti. Everyone loves my traditional baked spaghetti, and my creamy vegan Crock Pot baked spaghetti, so I figured I’d make up a…

air fryer italian dunkers

We like to make Italian Dunkers for quick lunches, appetizers, and as a side dish to a pasta meal. For years I’ve made them the traditional way (in the oven), with a hearty meat sauce (now I use Beyond Meat or a can of well-drained lentils.) But there’s an even faster and easier way if…

my big fat greek potato salad

This potato salad is hearty and satisfying and could definitely stand alone as lunch or dinner. Isn’t it pretty? It has all of the amazing flavors of traditional Greek salad, but I added oven roasted baby potatoes and tofu “feta” for protein. You could use macaroni in place of the potatoes if you wish. It’s…

empty tomb easter rolls

Empty tomb rolls, also called resurrection rolls, are a fun way to teach children the story of Jesus’ burial and resurrection at Easter time. Throughout the baking process the marshmallow that is placed in the center of the roll disappears, leaving the roll like an empty tomb. Pretty neat, huh? Simplify the Easter story for…
