White Bean Chili (Vegan & Gluten Free)
This chili is insane. This is my vegan version of a chicken chili. It was so easy to make, and it came out sooo much better than I expected!! I think it might be a faux pas to talk about how much you liked your own recipe. I am clearly very guilty of this. But

Black Bean Soup (Vegetarian and Vegan)
I might be a bit on a soup kick. I can’t really help myself. Other than my usual obsession with it, and need to eat it regularly, hubby bought me these soup crocks for Christmas. Of course I had to make soups!! I always find it hilarious when he tells my Mom what I want

Kale and Lentil Soup (Vegan)
I started the cleanse on Saturday, after going out for a delicious last non cleanse meal at a super yummy Mexican restaurant Friday night. (Bean and cheese burritos are my weakness!)

Potato and Cheese Soup
You can’t go wrong with potatoes and cheese. I love soup in the cooler weather and this is so easy and so fantastic. It also freezes super well, so you can make a big batch and freeze it. When I made a batch of Healthy Mashed Potatoes, I used half for this soup and half

Has anyone else ever noticed how when you cut open a butternut squash it smells a little like a watermelon? It could be just me… but I am in love with it. It smells so fresh and delicious, and has such a mild sweet yummy flavor when roasted. Roasted is my favorite way to approach

Vegan Minestrone Soup
Cooler weather? Bring it on. I am ready to live on soups alone!! I love curling up with a bowl of hot soup on a cold day, nothing quite says comfort as well as that. This soup is really good. It’s loaded up with vegetables, but super filling because of the beans and pasta. It

Vegan Pho
I had been seeing a lot of people posting lately about eating pho, a food I was not familiar with. What was this stuff? Was it yummy? Was it healthy? Well, I have discovered it is very yummy, and can be very healthy. Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup, reminiscent of ramen noodles. Traditionally the

Vegan Corn Chowder
I live ¾ of the year eating soup for at least 1 meal per day. I tend to be a very cold person (I need long sleeves in 75 degree weather) so soup is perfect for keeping me warm. I also like that it is filling in a way that doesn’t make me feel sluggish

Vegan “Beef” Stew
Serves 4-6 Another Meatless Monday Vegan Style!! You really won’t be disappointed with this one. No one would ever think it was vegan, it’s hearty, warm and comforting, and sooo yummy!! I love the flavor of mushrooms, but don’t always love the texture, so if you feel the same I advise pureeing all the mushrooms
