Cheezy Broccoli Soup
Creamy, smooth, thick, cheezy broccoli soup is one of my favorite vegan soups to cook when the weather starts cooling down. But what makes the soup so creamy without any cheese or milk?

Vegan and Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie
I made a pumpkin pie for the first time ever today, and it turned out magnificent. Yes, I went the easy route and bought a pre-made gluten-free, vegan crust, but how could I resist a shortcut like that?! I found the crust in the frozen section at Sprouts. The pumpkin pie filling recipe is by…
Vegan Quesadilla
A few weeks ago I hit a lunch rut wanted to make something new for my kids. I decided to melt some Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Slices between corn tortillas and see if I could make a vegan quesadilla with it. And hey, it worked! I added a scoop of guacamole to go with…
