This mac and cheese recipe is the best I've tasted yet! The sauce is so flavorful, you don't even miss the cheese :)
I made a few changes to the original. I doubled the sauce, but not the salt and I also preferred to thinly slice the vegetables so they can cook a bit faster. This isn't required but it does decrease the cooking time. I also altered the preparation order based on my experience making the dish. Enjoy!
Want something lighter than a traditional green bean casserole? Try this quick and easy recipe!
I must be the only Southerner who doesn't like mushy greens and doesn't believe collards must be cooked forever to be done. Watch me prepare flavorful collards that are actually green when I'm done.
Sweet potatoes can be savory and sweet. If you prefer a more savory dish, these roasted sweet potatoes just might be a new staple on your menu. Chop, season and roast them for 20 minutes and they're ready!
Fancy seasoning. Simple recipe. That's what we have right here! Adapt it to suit your taste and I'm sure it will become your go to roasted potato recipe.
Do you claim to not like cauliflower? I guarantee it's not the cauliflower it's the person who prepared it. Try this recipe and you'll change your tune. I promise!
This is quick and easy and flavorful. If you don't like the orange flavor, only use the zest and juice of one orange. I love it and use 2.
No, this dirty rice isn't that dirty. No animal livers will be found here. Don't worry. That omission doesn't impact the amazing flavors of this side dish--that's perfect for a Mardi Gras celebration. I just substituted mushrooms for the chicken livers and made a TVP sausage to replace the pork sausage. Thanks, Emeril for the inspiration!
Bryant Terry outdid himself when he created this recipe for Candied Sweet Potatoes and Apples in his book Vegan Soul Kitchen (affiliate link). The juices in this recipe really make a flavorful syrup that’s much better than the traditional sugar based syrup. The last time I made this, I definitely made more of the syrup. The recipe below reflects those changes. I have also decreased the roasting time for the potatoes just a bit.
Memorial Day is quickly approaching and if you're like many vegans, you already know that you won't have much to eat at most of the Memorial Day cookouts. If you're lucky, you go to a vegetarian cookout!
I discovered orzo, which is a small oval shaped pasta, a few years ago and fell in love with it. Once it’s cooked, it almost has a creamy texture. I ate a version of this dish at a restaurant a few years ago and came home determined to recreate it. This isn’t an exact replica, but it’s very tasty.
