If there’s anything that I couldn’t love more, it’s having roasted squash dishes during the holidays.

So not only do…

Vegan Dynamite Sushi Bake (Easy, Made with Crispy Tofu & Mushroom Topping)
Ahhh, the vegan sushi bake. I’ve actually had this dish on the back burner (to test) for a while and procrastinated with creating it. But, over the holidays, and a clearer mind – I served it to a friends gathering and all went well! So, in case you were wondering what sushi bake…
The Softest Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies (Dairy & Egg Free)
It is, officially, pumpkin season! Frankly, although we don’t have fall on Guam, I do enjoy the flavors of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.

Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cookie Cake

Vegan Pandesal (Filipino Bread Rolls Tangzhong Method)

Vegan Tofu Bistek Tagalog (Filipino “Beef” Steak)
