Pizza Chickpeas

I bought some “pizza” flavoured tofu but was pretty disappointed with the flavour. Not to be deterred from my pizza-flavoured-protein quest, I whipped up these chickpeas. They come together in 15 minutes and make a great accompaniment to a salad or zucchini noodles, or a topper for toast! Enjoy it with The Best Vegan Parm. Pizza…

The Best Vegan Parm

Yes, I know “Vegan Parmesan” recipes are a dime a dozen– but! This version contains a secret ingredient that elevates it above the rest. Drumroll please…. …Oats! Yep, believe it or not, oats really helps to mimic that “cheesy” flavour. We also add nutritional yeast, almond meal for richness, and a small clove of raw…

Black & White Overnight Oats

Mmmm…black sesame. Roasty, toasty, just so good. It’s easy to make black sesame butter at home in your blender or food processor; I’ll happily drizzle the stuff on everything in sight. Pancakes? Sure. Ice cream? Definitely. These overnight oats…OH YES. Actually, it’s double-sesame-season here, because we mix the butter into the oats, too– black magic! I hope…

Instant Golden Chai Granola

I love granola. On yogurt, on oatmeal, straight to my mouth from the jar. Sometimes I’m having a slow day at home and want my place to smell amazing for four hours; other times I’m struck by a craving and it can’t be ready soon enough. Enter stage right: 5 minute granola! Yep, for real. All…

Sesame Party Dates

Let’s get this party started, shall we? These stuffed dates are ticking all the boxes: Tasty! Easy! Pretty! They look beautiful on a large platter, but they’re even better in your mouth.

Summertime Apple Crumble

I woke up this morning to the sound of birds chirping…it’s really starting to feel like summer here in San Francisco. We’ve had so much rain this spring! I’m ready for blue skies and warmer days for sure. I picked up a bag of Fuji apples at the farmer’s market this weekend, and they were…

Cherry Almond Muesli

Happy February! I was hoping this month would be a little drier than last…but it seems rain is the name of the game for the Bay Area right now. Great for the drought, though!

Starry Night Baked Doughnuts

Although it might *finally* be warming up here in San Francisco, this past weekend was unusually chilly.

It’s a remarkable melange of fantasy and historical fiction, set…
