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

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.)

Cauliflower Tacos with Quick Pickled Radish Relish, Strawberry Salsa Fresca, and Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce Plus Coconut Cilantro Lime Rice

Forget about farm-to-table, I say straight from the fields to your face! Ha! Yesterday I did a cooking demo at Tanaka Farms! I made Cauliflower Tacos with Quick Pickled Radish Relish, Strawberry Salsa Fresca, Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce, and Coconut Cilantro Lime Rice on the side. 

It was nice to teach about plant-based/vegan cooking to a non-vegan crowd and then chat with them

Spicy Vegan “Tuna” Roll

This one is fun! It uses the same method as the Watermelon Poke Bowls to prepare transform the watermelon into fish...but it uses "normal" ingredients you should be able to find at just about any supermarket!
