Something sweet, sticky, and made with tofu—it’s a recipe for two happy kids at dinner. I found Nora Cooks’ recipe for Crispy Baked Orange Tofu and decided I had to give it a try. Inspired by orange chicken, it’s a healthy, meatless alternative to the traditional Chinese take-out dish. Baked tofu gets swapped in place…

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? It’s the combination of cooked potatoes, carrots, an onion, vegetable broth, cashews, and spices that are mixed together and blended in a…
Vegan + Gluten Free Lasagna
A vegan AND gluten free lasagna? Many might ask, why even bother? Stretchy, gooey mozzarella is crucial for lasagna as are the lasagna noodles, so if you’re going to devise an inferior version, it better be amazing. I was reluctant to go down this vegan + gluten free lasagna path, until all three main lasagna…

Vegan Nachos
Beans, rice, olives, corn, soy chorizo, avocado, and VEGAN QUESO! Vegan nachos are an easy vegan and gluten-free dinner to make, my kids love them, and they’re soooooo good!

I use frozen garlic cubes, which saves…

Over here at The Little Veggie Kitchen, our days are filled with big walks around the neighborhood, sticky orange juice popsicles, library kid events, and swimming lessons.

Soyrizo Avocado Grilled Cheeze
Yes, this is a totally vegan sandwich—and it rocks! I drew some inspiration from a chorizo avocado grilled cheese recipe that I stumbled on a while ago and thought, “Hey, I bet I can make this recipe vegan and gluten-free.” And you know what, it’s incredible! Spicy soyrizo and creamy avocado banded by a slice…
Sloppy Lentils
Not quite a sloppy joe by my standards, but nonetheless this recipe is a tasty, easy variation of the classic, messy dinner. I stumbled on Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Sloppy Joe recipe after I realized that I was missing a few ingredients for my Soyrizo Sloppy Joes—I was determined to make something sloppy for dinner that…
Homestyle Vegan Loaf
If you’re anything like me, you may be one of those vegans who miss the classic comfort food recipes from your childhood. I have happy memories of meatloaf night, watching my mom mix up the ingredients and breathing in the onion, worcestershire sauce, ground mustard-infused aromas that signify this captivating meal. With a little help from…
