So the recipe exchange experiment was pretty much a failure on my end, but I did get two recipes out of it: butternut squash bake and a recipe for a single-serving of fudge. Continue reading
On this first day of winter (can you believe it?) I’ve decided to post the recipe for my favorite black bean soup. This is a perfect vegan winter dish, and it’s so hearty that even my dad and brother love it. If you can eat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, they are great toppings … Continue reading
Have you ever had a cookbook from which you only ever used one recipe? Well, I have a lot of those, so during a recent move, I decided to get rid of a few. Naturally, one of them would have come in handy this past weekend, but the recipe was so simple it turns out … Continue reading

I always get a crazy craving for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups just before Halloween (and just before Easter, when they release the awesome egg-shaped cups). So last week, I finally tried Alicia Silverstone’s vegan chocolate peanut butter cup recipe — making appropriate allergy-friendly substitutions, of course. I first heard of Alicia’s recipe when she was … Continue reading
