Stanford Inn by the Sea in Mendocino, California is an incredible vegan resort. Of course, one of the best parts is going to Raven’s Restaurant for one of their legendary meals. It’s always absolutely delicious. This vegan mushroom benedict recipe is inspired by Raven’s Restaurant’s Portobello Benedict and by classic California Eggs Benedict. There’s a […]
Quick, easy vegan hollandaise sauce! All you need to do, is add everything to a high speed blender (like a Vitamix or Ninja), and then, whisk in a small saucepan over medium heat until thick enough for you. It’s oil free, soy free, and wants to smother your vegan brunch in deliciousness. Who’s hungry? This […]
Inspired by Slovak Segedinský Guláš, this vegan recipe using sauerkraut is very easy to make, and savory-sour in all the right ways. Sauerkraut seasoned with loads of paprika? Yes please! This vegan goulash recipe combines my favorite things–sauerkraut and seitan. Smoked paprika to bring a bit of the flavor of pork. Cashew cream for heavy […]
This vegan ranch recipe is quick and easy in a high speed blender. It contains no oil, no mayo, and no tofu. That’s right, it’s just cashews, fresh herbs, lemon juice and all the good stuff. This recipe makes ~¾ cup of homemade vegan ranch dressing. It’s awesome as a dip for veggies, on salads, […]
Inspired by the beloved Tex-Mex dip, this is one creamy vegan queso recipe with cashews, nutritional yeast, and Rotel! Whether you use mild or hot Rotel, this vegan homemade queso disappears fast. It is so good smothered on nachos, tacos, or soft pretzels. You could even use it to make a vegan queso mac and […]
Finally, a vegan gravy recipe without mushrooms! Roasted garlic does an excellent job of providing the flavor to this simple vegan gravy recipe.

This vegan chili mac and cheese recipe is easy to execute (no baking!), yields a lot of food (~6 servings) and tastes cheesy, spicy, and smoky. It’s the perfect hearty meal for any time of year! Two notes… I like a thick vegan cashew cheese sauce, but if you prefer a thinner sauce, add the […]
When I was a kid, the church potluck was where it was at! So many delicious hot dishes made with love, and ready to share with one another. And while there were many options to choose from, I always gravitated towards the casseroles. Tater tot casserole! Broccoli cheese rice casserole! Green bean and mushroom casserole! […]
This vegan mushroom and spinach wild rice casserole recipe is creamy, savory, and delicious. It works well as a main dish (plenty hearty!) or as a side dish. It’s fancy enough for the holidays, but doesn’t have to be a holiday dish. It’s gluten free, has no nutritional yeast, and loaded with fall-winter flavors (think […]
Traditionally, I am not a fan of “loaf” of any kind. I usually find them a bit underwhelming. So, I felt challenged to create a vegan lentil loaf recipe that was flavorful, savory, and stayed together. I used dried porcini mushrooms, because the flavors are more concentrated than using fresh mushrooms. Plus, there is […]

Tofu and roasted cashews are mixed with a medley of vegetables, scallion, fresh basil and cilantro with Thai red curry paste and lime juice. Totally refreshing and loaded with a variety of textures, the perfect salad for lunch, a light dinner, or an […]
This is yet another revision of this vegan paprikash recipe. Now, it is gluten free and eliminates the prepackaged vegan sour cream. There’s also a richer, creamier sauce made with silken tofu, raw cashews, lemon juice and more. This is still the kind of meal that you want to serve over egg-less ribbon noodles, mashed […]
