Chipotle Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup
Happy 2022! I know new years was a few days back, but I am getting around to typing up a post now so Happy New Year! I decided to take a few weeks off of making recipes over the holidays because it was just too hectic and I wanted to enjoy them. But now I […]
White Bean, Sweet Potato and Kale Soup
The weather can’t seem to decide what it is doing here lately. It was thawing out and above 35F degrees, and then it was down to below zero then back to above freezing again. I will take the warmer days though, it is not often we see days above the teens and twenties this time […]
Rutabaga and Yam Fries with Garlic Dipping Sauce
One of my all time favorite things we make at the deli I work at is sweet potato or yam fries. They are so simple but so good. So, often times I will make them at home. I call them my bacon, because they are to me what bacon is to meat eaters. Hard to […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole and Vegan Sweet Potato Maple Cake with McCormick Spices!
This post is sponsored by McCormick® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. There are so many things to be excited about around the holidays! Seeing friends and family you might not normally see the rest of the year because they live far away, the celebrations, and of course the amazing food! […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Waffles
Do you ever just scroll through people’s food photos on Instagram and just get really hungry? I totally do, and I saw some waffles a few days back on someone’s feed that looked amazing. I told myself, you have to make waffles soon! It had been too long, and they just sounded really good. Well, […]
Vegan Sweet Potato “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Pumpkin has been getting all the love around here, I am not going to lie, I admit I get a little obsessed in the fall, since I am pumpkin deprived the rest of the year and it is one of my all time favorite things. But you know what else is my favorite thing? Sweet […]
Vegan Caramelized Onion Mac and Cheese
As I was chopping some super strong onions at work and trying not to cry as my eyes burned I began to think about how it is funny you never become immune to them, even when you are someone like me who chops them just about every day. I also started to think about how […]
Roasted Sweet Potato Red Lentil Hummus
We make giant batches of hummus in the deli where I work. We are talking like gallons. It is such good hummus too! I think the trick to delicious classic hummus is plenty of lemon juice and sea salt. Of course it has to have a good amount of tahini to make it rich and […]
Vegan Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread
Sweet potatoes are one of my all time favorite things to eat. Baked to perfection with the sweet flavors intensified, then stuffed, or mashed with a hint of lime and sea salt, or cut into yam fries and baked, or roasted crispy in salads, or in chunks in soups…the possibilities are endless and I include […]
Root Vegetable Lentil Stew
In the deli I work at, we sell so much soup it is unreal. We sell at least 24 quarts a day. I understand. We do make really good soups and stews from scratch, using organic ingredients. I am the vegan soup maker. Of all of the soups I make, my favorites are the soups […]
Vegan Spicy Sweet Potato Tots with Cilantro Avocado Dipping Sauce
Minnesotans love their tater tots. I mean, we have a whole hot dish featuring them and named after them. So, why didn’t I love them as a child like everyone else? I don’t know. Maybe because they were always served in school lunches, and the first time I tried them they were soaked in the […]
Vegan Southwest Shepherd’s Pie Chili
I made my Sweet Potato lasagna the other day, but I have had another sweet potato recipe floating around in my head for a while that I wanted to try out. It is definitely comfort food type weather here, so warming food is needed so badly. I have been wanting to make a sweet potato […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Lasagna
Before I went vegan, I used to like to make lasagna for Christmas. I would make home made noodles, my own sauce, and fill it up with veggies and plenty of ricotta. It was so good! It was something I wished I could have all the time, but even without making your own noodles and […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Pecan Pie
We always had 3 different types of pie at Thanksgiving gatherings at my Grandparent’s house when I was little. It was always apple, pecan and pumpkin. I would always take some of each as was tradition, but really the pecan was my favorite. It was my Mom’s favorite and my Grandma’s favorite too, so maybe […]
Vegan Maple Sweet Potato Caramel Mini Bundt Cakes
I am so not ready for Winter yet. It is technically still Fall, but it totally feels like Winter. The snow was flying last Friday, big fluffy clumps of flakes floating down, like the type you build a snowman with. It looked like a snow globe outside, and this was actually the second snow like […]
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. […]
Roasted Sweet Potato Wild Rice Salad
Wild rice is a Minnesota staple. Especially creamy wild rice soup, which we can’t ever have enough pots of at work, since it flies out of the deli! But soup is not the only way to enjoy it, hearty salads are awesome too for when you want to have something a little lighter. I am […]
Sweet Potato Pie Chia Porridge
I love sweet potatoes so much, I eat them almost every day. Funny, because there was a time in my life when I did not care for them. Back when I thought they all came in cans with syrup (I was a kid), because that was the only way I had been served them. On […]
Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato Pizza
There was a point in my life at which I made pizza every week on a certain day. It became a tradition and something I looked forward too. I would choose different veggies (or sometimes fruits) and cheeses to experiment with every week so it was quite exciting! Some of the combinations were things like […]
Holiday Entertaining! Mini Sweet Potato Avocado Crostini and GOODFOODS Guacamole
The Holidays are a beautiful time of the year. Getting together with loved ones you haven’t seen in ages, sparkling snow and twinkling lights, and choosing the perfect thoughtful Christmas presents for friends and family. But they can also be hectic, and stressful if you are the one hosting the get together, or maybe you […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Cranberry Coffeecake
Most of us have Thanksgiving leftovers, and although you could just continue to eat them as they are and reheat them, it is fun sometimes to create new things with them! Now of course some people just make a giant sandwich and pile it high with all the fixings, but I like to totally reinvent […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole
Like any mid-western cook, my Grandma would always serve a sweet potato casserole with Thanksgiving. As much as I loved my Grandma’s cooking, it was probably my least favorite thing and I politely would just take a small spoonful. Now, I am sure some sweet potato casseroles are good, and they use real yams, but this […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Cranberry Pancakes
Last Thursday, It was a rather chilly day, and Eric and I had just arrived back from a walk in the in the dark. It was sleeting, which had made it even more chilly, and all I could think about was what sort of warm comfort food I was going to make when I arrived […]
