i’ve been wanting to make my own apple sauce ever since i made those delicious sweet potato latkes and vegan sour cream but ended up using plain old store-bought apple sauce. luckily, when i went home for christmas, my mom gave me my great grandmother’s apple sauce maker. the thing must be at least 90 [...]
with all of the recipes i’ve already posted here, i have yet to include one that utilizes beets or green beans. ironic, i know. so i decided when i finally did one, i had to do it up right.
if you fry green beans raw, they shrivel on the outside but are still under cooked on [...]
in the past few days i have definitely had my fill of sweets. so i’m taking a break from my christmas-cookie-blitz with some hardy, filling and simple black bean soup.
i know that making a batch of soup can sometimes seem like an undertaking, which is why i’ve tried to make this soup as simple as [...]
we are in the holiday home stretch! and while christmas baking it truly meant for, well, christmas, it can be liberally extended to new year’s day ( just like keeping your tree up). so get all of those purely-decadent-and-much-too-sweet-for-the-rest-of-the-year recipes in now while you still can!

nothing makes me think of christmas more than eggnog. but the idea of a tall glass of milk and eggs doesn’t appeal to me much anymore – thankfully, a little soy milk and tofu does the trick just fine. season with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and just a pinch of turmeric to give it a yellow [...]
when i think of pumpkin cranberry bread i think of a christmas party i threw 3 years ago – it involved a chirstmas tree, christmas music and a full spread of seasonal treats. probably one of the most popular items on the menu was pumpkin cranberry bread. 3 years on, i’m going back to that [...]
