Sweet & Spicy Brussel Sprouts with Toasted Walnuts (Vegan & Gluten Free)
Can I, seriously, ever get tired of roasted Brussel sprouts? The answer is no. I feel that Brussel sprouts should be a mandatory staple in every kitchen – plant based or not. This particular vegetable, to me, compliments just about any savory dish and for any occasion. It can be as simple as…
Tofu Chocolate Mousse Pie (Egg & Dairy Free)
I know what you are thinking. You don’t need to say it. TOFU. I know. I know. I know. HEAR THIS LADY OUT. I’ve tested this recipe three times and have given out samples for my beloved non-vegan family and friends to try without any judgement and it all passed with flying colors….
