Tofu Scramble
We touched on this a few weeks ago, but it’s worth repeating. In our experience, the most sustainable transition from an animal-heavy to a plant-heavy diet is taken one step at a time. My transition happened slowly over many years. It was back and forth, up and down. It wasn’t easy. If I’ve written a word…
Chocolate Banana Pancakes
We are simple people. We prefer most things- food, travel, holidays, our living environment- to be unfussy and relaxed. Weekends are at the top of this list. Rarely do we pack our weekends full of errands and events. Instead of rushing around, you’ll find us reading, writing, cooking, and strolling our neighborhood. We like Saturdays…
Brussels Sprout Tofu Quiche
Eggs are called many things- incredible, edible, the “perfect” protein. I bet you’ve heard you’re supposed to snack on hardboiled eggs and load up your breakfast with egg whites (but skip the whole grain toast). Guess what? This is all false! …And mostly marketing. Even just one egg a day may be too much. In…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (Vegan)
In my family, the designated pumpkin pie baker was my Great Grandma Pope. She always arrived to Thanksgiving dinner with a tin carrier stacked with freshly baked pies. Every year, without fail, she plopped her homemade pies down on the dessert table and exclaimed “they’re probably not fit to eat.” Boy, was she wrong. They…
Simple Crock Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal
Nothing annoys me more than cooking steel cut oatmeal. Last weekend I spent what felt like my entire Saturday morning hovering over a pot of said oats. Stirring — worrying I added too much liquid — stirring — turning the heat up — stirring — snatching the overflowing pot off the burner, cursing at the loss…
Simple Dark Chocolate Orange Fig Granola
You probably think of granola as “hippie food”. But granola got it’s start long before the free spirits of the ’60s claimed it as a staple food. Granola’s history is actually rooted in vegetarianism! It’s story also includes a line of “health foodies” with last names you’ll recognize. Granola: a brief (and interesting) history Early…
Manly Vegan Overnight Oats
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: making it vegan doesn’t mean making it wimpy. Kayli came up with a great way to drop the dairy from one of our favorite breakfast staples – overnight oats. We love the simplicity of this breakfast- throw some stuff in a bowl the night before and when you…
Avocado Toast Two Ways
When the temps sore in the summertime (and the pool calls your name), time spent at the stove tends to wane. Lunches are lazy, portable grab bags of snack foods, and dinners are either grillable or no-cook. My summer darling? Avocado toast. With a quick blast of the toaster and a smoosh of the fork,…
Tempeh Hash
Last weekend, we hosted a potluck brunch for the No Meat Athlete St. Louis group. It was fun to meet like-minded people and enjoy a plant-based spread together. The best part? Hearing everyone’s story about why they decided to go meat free. Some were inspired by health conditions, others by their parents and animal rights…
