Vegan Spice Crusted Chevre
Before I went vegan, I used to buy tubs of local chevre at the co op all the time. It was mild, slightly tangy (without being goaty) and delicious. I would top salads off with it, eat it with fruit for dessert, or spread it on toast. It was a staple. So, of course I […]
Summer Watermelon and “Chevre” Salad
There used to be this fabulous watermelon and mozzarella salad at a restaurant my Mom and I would go to often when I was younger and it was super delicious. I hadn’t thought about it since then, but then recently my Mom made a salad for a party for one of her friends that was […]
Roasted Sweets and Beets Lentil Salad
It was so warm here yesterday we set a record. Sixty degrees in February in Minnesota is almost unheard of. I am sure the skiers and other Winter sport enthusiasts are sad, but I am loving this weather. I would love it if we went straight into Spring. Anything above 45 degrees I will take. […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cranberry Chevre
It has been beautiful here lately! Normally in November it is about 20 degrees cooler and we are all bundling up in hats and coats, but I actually am able to go out for my runs in shorts, wear t-shirts during the day, and enjoy the season! The sunsets have been awesome, and I have […]
Vegan Double Berry Chevre
One of the most popular things I hear from people when I tell them I am vegan is that they could never do it, because they could never give up cheese. Well, guess what? I used to think the same thing. When I was vegetarian I actually ate loads of cheese making things like pizzas, […]
Summer Cantaloupe, Sun Dried Tomato and Macadamia Chevre Salad
I once overheard a woman yelling at the produce guy at the grocery store because they did not have any arugula at the time. She was mad because she wanted to make a recipe using it and nothing else would do. I felt like telling her that she could improvise and use spinach, or maybe […]
Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Basil Chevre Roll Ups
When I was in college, my Mom and I liked to go to a Spanish tapas restaurant that served these amazing, flavorful little plates (tapas), and the best part about it was being able to try a bunch of different things and share them with each other. I liked them all, but there were a […]
Raw Cranberry Pecan Chevre Log
When I was a kid, I loved anything cheese. I remember being super excited when my Mom made a cheese ball for a family gathering. It was the best thing ever in my 8 year old mind. I still love cheese as an adult…but now it is vegan cheese. I am not a big fan […]
Raw Carrot Chevre Flatbreads
I find inspiration for delicious things to create from many different places. Often times, I will see something on pinterest, or in a magazine and I will think to myself, I can veganize that! Or, those flavors would be wonderful together in something completely different. Well I recently was out to dinner with my family […]
