Vegan Kale Pesto (revisited)

Vegan Kale Ricotta (and Lasagna)
I’ve been meaning to write this up because this is a key ingredient if you want to make vegan lasagna. It’s tasty and filling and all you need to go on to making lasagna is a jar of pasta sauce and some lasagna noodles. My …
Gluten-free Vegan Banana Flax Muffins
Yesterday I wrote about preparing for storms and power outages and I think I jinxed myself. Around 11 pm, as we were just about to go to bed (we homeschool and we stay up kinda late), the power blinked and surged a few times before …
Teriyaki Baked Tofu
I had a block of Trader Joe’s extra firm tofu that was nearing it’s expiration date and needed an idea for dinner. This is inspired by Budget Bytes, which is another of my favorite sites and cookbooks out there. Serves well with rice and broccoli. …

How is it that in May you have visions of a nice, relaxing summer and it inevitably turns into madness? I do this every year and I really should know better! And we homeschool, for Pete’s sake! I do not envy anyone in the “back …
Vegan Pesto
In the last post, I showed you my recipe for vegan Parmesan (post link). Now we can make vegan pesto! All you need is some of your vegan Parmesan (assuming you haven’t eaten it all already), olive oil, basil, garlic, and a bit of salt. …
