The Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

When it comes to cinnamon rolls, my checklist looks something like this: Big? Check. Soft? Check. Ooey-gooey? Check and double check. These cinnamon rolls check all the boxes and then some. The dough is sweet and so soft. And the filling is cinnamon-sugar perfection with a couple of extra additions that will make these the best cinnamon rolls you have ever had. Using a mix of brown sugar AND granulated sugar in the filling gives a more interesting flavor and the cornstarch lends a silky texture that helps keep the filling soft and smooth....

Vegan Caramel Sauce

This recipe is for a true caramel sauce, meaning the sugar has been cooked until it melts and caramelizes. Making caramel always sounds daunting, but I promise it’s a lot easier than it sounds! You don’t need a candy thermometer to make this recipe, just a pot and a spoon. Caramel sauce is traditionally made with butter and milk (or half and half/cream) and so is very not vegan friendly....

Vegan Mattar Tofu Paneer

I didn’t set out to create a veganized mattar paneer when I made this dish. I was craving a rich tasting and creamy Indian curry, and didn’t want to break out a second pot to make a vegetable dish. Tofu was my first choice for the protein, I just love the tender morsels tucked into a thick creamy sauce, and its mild flavor doesn’t compete with the strong Indian spices....

Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes

Let’s talk red velvet. It’s red, and it’s made of velvet! Just kidding, sorry I’m not funny. Red velvet cake is essentially a vanilla cake made with a small amount of cocoa powder. It’s a soft and fluffy cake, hence the designation “velvet.” The cocoa powder gives the cake a finer texture and reacts with vinegar in the batter (turning a faint red color). Red velvet is somewhere between a vanilla cake and a chocolate cake, and you might wonder–what’s the point?...

Za Atar Pasta Salad

I’m a fan of all things pasta–I mean, who isn’t! I’m also pro-picnic, pro-potluck, pro-casually bring a dish to your friends house. And occasionally for a handful of weeks in the year, I’m pro cold/room temperature/lukewarm food. Side note: lukewarm has to be the least appetizing way to describe food but just run with it for my sake please! My point is, sometimes you need a pasta salad. It’s filling, it’s tasty, it has one of my favorite foods (pasta), and it’s great at just about any temperature (prob don’t eat it frozen, but otherwise you’re good to go)!...

Best Lasagna Soup Recipe

I love soup. And I love lasagna. So this one pot lasagna soup is the ultimate, in my opinion. Lasagna is incredible when it comes out of the oven all hot and bubbling, but it usually involves dirtying a lot of dishes and at least an hour or more to create those craveable layers of pasta, meaty sauce, and melted cheese. Which, don’t get me wrong, is totally worth it....

Best Probiotics For Kids

Probiotics for Kids Probiotics are basically “good” bacteria that, when taken as a supplement or in foods like yogurt, may help keep kids guts and digestive tracts healthy and working well. (And also help them recover from bouts with upset tummies, particularly after a course of antibiotics.) Over the last few years, the supplement market has been flooded by options, many of which make all sorts of bold health claims, so here’s what you need to know about how probiotics work and whether your child may benefit from one....

Big Blue Monster Stuffed Cookies

If you haven’t seen stuffed cookies going around, it’s a popular food trend for gourmet cookies where you wrap cookie dough around some other treat – cheesecake, nutella, brownies, etc. – and bake so that when you slice or bite into the cookies there is a whole other layer of flavor or texture in the middle. It’s almost a prerequisite to start out with an amazing cookie dough like the one I use for my Copycat Levain Chocolate Chip Cookies....

Creamy Vegan Mushroom Gravy

This vegan mushroom gravy pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, vegan holiday roasts, biscuits (biscuits and gravy anyone?), french fries (for poutine of course!), and whatever else you enjoy gravy with! I personally like to just think of this as a generic creamy vegan gravy* wherein just enough mushrooms are added to lend their rich, savory flavor. And when blended addd body and a luscious texture to the gravy. Of course, it’s completely a mushroom gravy (at least that’s what my mushroom loving husband insists), but I don’t think of myself as a mushroom person and I love this gravy!...

Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

These olive oil cookies have vanilla and chocolate chips to balance the flavors and are so simple to stir together.
