Panko-crusted Air Fryer Tofu Tofu is on regular rotation at our house, and we typically enjoy our Tamari, sesame-crusted crispy tofu. The other day, as we were out with the pups, we started to brainstorm about new ways we could prepare tofu (I know...
Curried Roasted Acorn Squash Soup While out for a glorious hike with my friend Judy, we spent a considerable amount of time talking about food. Judy is an accomplished endurance athlete and needs a lot of plant-based fuel! She had recently made a squash soup with lots...
Roasted Cauliflower Chickpea Soup One of the things I love the most about fall is that it's officially soup season - yay! Bring on the warm, fragrant soups that nourish the soul. You may want to consider this soup for a few reasons: Cauliflower is in season,...
Zucchini and Carrot Fritters I was recently gifted with home grown veggies. (Thank you so much, Diane!) Among the goodies was a perfectly sized zucchini and some carrots. I immediately thought they would pair nicely together for some fritters. :) I made this recipe vegan by replacing...
