I have been making Baked Oatmeal since the beginning of our Pantry Cooking Challenge. It’s my new favorite, pantry friendly, breakfast recipe. I love it fresh from the oven, but I also love that I can make a big pan of this and store it in the fridge. That way, everyone can serve themselves a chunk and reheat it in the microwave. It’s a truly […]
This recipe for vegan banana nut muffins happened by accident. Everyone knows that I love making my easy 1-2-3 banana bread, and I’ve even come up with a vegan version for my 30 Days of Vegan Challenge. Since it’s time to start heading back to school, I thought that making some banana muffins for lunches might be a good idea, but I didn’t have any […]
Pea salad is my favorite way to eat peas. The first time I tried pea salad was at a buffet. My companion told me it was “delicious,” so I reluctantly tried it. I’m not a big fan of peas. We ate them often when I was a child, so they aren’t my favorite vegetable unless raw. My opinion changed when I tried pea salad, and […]
Pineapple Coconut Milk Cobbler is a simple and delicious dessert that goes together quickly, and bakes perfectly in the oven while you make the rest of your vegan meal on the stove top. The inspiration for this cobbler is our easy nectarine cobbler and our canned fruit cobbler. Neither of those recipes were vegan, so I decided to adapt the recipe to see how it […]

Slow Cooker Red Cabbage and Apples is a twist on a traditional German side dish. At least, hat’s what a German octogenarian told me. This recipe is our attempt to recreate the dish for her. We modified the recipe for Red Cabbage and Apples that she described by preparing it in a slow cooker to make it a bit less labor intensive.
This recipe is similar to my easy nectarine cobbler, but it’s made with canned fruit instead of fresh, and we’ve swapped the butter for a mild flavored oil. The result is a super delicious cobbler that is somewhat reminiscent of a bread pudding in texture, except for the crispy top. It’s a favorite with our family, and I’m certain it will be a favorite […]
