Don’t you just love cornbread? I love it so much I’ve created six different recipes based on it – From my classic corn muffins to my sweet cornbread recipe, each creation has its own delicious twist. I’ll be honest, each recipe was created because I had a craving that needed to be fulfilled and this Johnny Cake Recipe is one of my absolute favorites. 🙂 I have to say that they came out so much better than I had ever imagined!...
Leftover turkey casserole is the ultimate way to enjoy your holiday leftovers in a brand-new way. I remember the first time I made this dish—it was the day after Thanksgiving, and I had a fridge full of turkey and a craving for something hearty. I wanted a dish that was warm, creamy, and had just the right balance of textures. After a little experimenting, this casserole came together. The creamy cheese sauce, tender turkey, and crunchy breadcrumb topping instantly became a family favorite....
I created this recipe because I wanted a way to incorporate more vegetables into our diet, a bit like what I did for my Hidden Veg Pasta Sauce, Vegan Hummus Wrap, and Vegan Taco Salad. As someone who believes in the importance of balanced nutrition, I wanted to develop a pasta sauce that was not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. This green sauce has become a favorite in my household, offering a delicious way to enjoy our “five a day” while satisfying our pasta cravings....

What’s An Oat Slice Recipe? An oat slice recipe is one of these Australian classic recipes that kids love to eat in New Zealand for snacks. It’s not as soft as my peanut butter banana oatmeal bars.

Bonus, this is also a vegan mug cake made without eggs or dairy. I love making quick and easy snacks that help me boost my protein.

However, you can make homemade lemonade with less sugar and sweetened with natural sweeteners that are better for you....
Since I developed my Insta-famous 2-Ingredient Donuts, I’ve been finding ways to make it simpler by making Air Fryer Donut Holes, making it high in protein with my Peanut Butter Donuts, or making it super tasty with my 3-Ingredient Lemon Donuts. What was missing from my collection is a healthier version! I decided to swap some of the plant-based yogurt for some sweet potato puree. This keeps the same moisture, but it brings all the goodness of the root vegetable: antioxidants, vitamins (A, B3, B6, C), and minerals (Manganese, Copper, Potassium)....
We are a big fan of tofu recipes for a quick family dinner. While we love our sweet and sour orange tofu recipe, sometimes you need a spicier dish, and Szechuan cuisine is the best for that.

I am a huge fan of peanut butter recipes, and when I don’t feel like making my no-bake peanut butter bars or my no-bake peanut butter cookies, I make these cups. Most vegan peanut butter cup recipes use a combination of peanut butter and powdered sugar. I prefer refined sugar-free sweeteners and almond flour for a healthier twist. These peanut butter cups are copycats of the classic Reese’s cups. They are single-serve, bite-sized chocolate cups filled with a biscuit-like filling made of sweetened peanut butter....
