Savory Mushroom Vegetable Stew

Last weekend in Minnesota it was a bit chilly with only highs in the single digits (F), and snow showers happening frequently.

Vegan Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup

Wild mushroom foraging season is now over in the upper midwest, but a few weeks back while we were on our honeymoon to the upper peninsula of Michigan it was a great time to go foraging for mushrooms! I honestly have never seen so many varieties of wild mushrooms in my life […]
Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

Stroganoff is a dish that is big here in Minnesota. People usually make it with venison or beef, and it is considered comfort food and who doesn’t need comfort food when it is 20F degrees below zero in the Winter?! I grew up eating it and actually liked it, mostly because of the noodles and […]
Veggie Filled Tempeh Fried Rice

Red Lentil, Yam and Mushroom Stew

Last Sunday was a full but wonderful day for me! I woke up, had a wonderful workout, made a delicious cake, and then decided to go downtown with Eric to see the Macy’s Art in Bloom Flower Show and walk the skyways. We saw some beautiful flowers, and it was a nice taste of spring, since it […]
Raw Mushroom Kale Rice

Ok, you may be wondering what is up with all of my faux grain and rice dishes lately…and the truth is I am addicted to them. They are so good that I have been having lots of them for dinner lately and I feel the need to share since no two of them taste similar […]
Raw Miso “Roasted” Mushrooms and Green Beans with Rich Parsnip Puree

People assume that because I have a blog and make lots of food that I will be slaving away all day in the kitchen on Thanksgiving. Nothing could be further from the truth! In reality, I want to enjoy my day as well, spending time with the ones I love and not in the kitchen. […]
Raw Pesto Stuffed “Roasted” Mushrooms

My Mom brought me some mushrooms and basil last week and asked me if I would make her some stuffed mushrooms. I was not going to say no after all, they sounded delicious! I decided to make a rich pesto stuffing with the basil. The mushrooms were perfect little gems, and I tossed them with […]
