Farmers' Market Chili with Chipotle Cashew Cream


Let's make a big pot of veggie chili with all this fresh produce from the Tanaka Farms Produce Market Stand! As you know, I started working for Tanaka Farms in Irvine, California, way back in 2014. One of my jobs on the farm is to develop recipes* and teach cooking classes featuring the produce grown on the farm.

Budget Recipe: Vegan Corn & Potato Chowder (made with canned corn and potatoes!)


Vegan Corn and Potato Chowder

Sometimes you just want a cozy, hearty bowl of soup that won't break the bank, without going to the store, or spending all day in the kitchen. That was me this morning. I just returned home from a road trip. I am still unpacking, and have to head back to work today...but I really wanted a warm, creamy soup to pack up and take with me. I didn't have time to go buy groceries, and I didn't have a lot of time, so I looked through my cupboards and fridge to see what I could come up with...and this chowder was born.

Orange Cranberry Sauce with Rosemary


Orange Cranberry Sauce with Rosemary 

Adding a sprig of rosemary gives this tangy Thanks-Living stape a bit more depth. (Tastes great on a leftover sandwich, or on top of icecream, or even better on top of a vegan cheesecake!) 

Nutty Fruitcake

Nutty Fruitcake

You might just be able to win over even the biggest fruitcake haters with this one, as it contains no fluorescent green or red unidentifiable gelled fruit bits. Rather, it is chock full of dried fruits and nuts and then topped with candied fruits and nuts. This is a sophisticated fruitcake, if you can believe it! This recipe makes 6 mini cakes which makes it perfect for gift giving.

Smoked Pumpkin Bisque with Cashew Cream



Smoked Pumpkin Bisque with Cashew Cream
This was a game changer for me and fresh pumpkin. See, I'm not so much into baking, but I absolutely love cooking, and I had my hands on some heirloom pumpkins I wanted to play around with. So...into the smoker they went! I simply cut 3 medium size pumpkins in half, skin, seeds, and all, and chucked them in a smoker with Applewood Chips for 5 hours. The result? A slightly smoky, slightly sweet, easy to puree pumpkin that is perfect for soups, curries, stews, chili and more!

Seven Cheese Vegan Baked Mac and Cheese

Vegan Mac and Cheese


Seven Cheese Vegan Baked Mac and Cheese

Oh, that's rich! It's been a minute since I've made a proper baked mac and cheese! 
I've been having fun trying out all the different vegan cheeses available these days and I had quite the collection building up in the fridge. So I threw together this Seven Cheese Baked Mac and Cheese!

This is a little different than most of the recipes I post, because it really depends on a lot of store-bought cheeses. I listed the brands thst I used below, but feel free to sub any of them with your favorites! (...and you don't need seven. Lol.)

Korean BBQ Tacos 
The key to a great taco is making sure you have the right combination of flavors and textures. Something Crunchy, something soft. Something hot and something cool.
