Vanilla Fig Oatmeal with Baklava Toppinghas always been one of the top oatmeals on Healthy Slow Cooking, so when I wroteVegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just YouI had to add it in. Breakfast works great in a 1 1/2 or 2 quart slow cooker.

This is a big book year for me. The Great Vegan Bean Book came out in the Spring and now my fall book is just around the corner. In fact, if Amazon is correct it may ship a month early.

Once I found that out I had to get a few recipes and photos from Vegan Slow Cooking for Two or Just Youready to post on the blog to give you a preview of my new book. This is a slow cooker book with a twist – it’s all cooked in a 1 1/2 or 2 quart slow cooker....

Flavored milks are heavy in fat and sugar, but this plant-based recipe is lightened up by using a base of oats and sweetened with stevia.

We all know that oats are great to add to your diet, but did you ever think of making oat milk? Like other nondairy milks that are made of almonds, rice and soy, oat milk is just as refreshing.

If you’ve always bought your plant-based milks you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make your own. Oat milk is one of the easiest since you only soak the rolled oa...

I try to help out animals anyway I can. Of course, you have to pick a few causes and Muffins for Muffin really touched me. As many of you know I love animals, in fact that’s the main reason that I stopped eating meat 30 years ago.

Muffin is a beautiful pitbull who has some big medical bills due to some chemical burns she has.Kita of Pass the Sushi is doing this fundraiser to help pay Muffin’s medical bills. This is what she has to say:

As you all know, we are rooting on Lil Miss Muffin, a pup f...

This is great as a side on a picnic or to top a veggie burger hot off the grill. It’s creamy with coconut milk and has a little kick from Sriracha. Mincing the broccoli will fool the pickiest eater into trying a few bites.

This dish comes together in minutes, so it’s perfect for animpromptuparty. I don’t use many bagged veggies, but broccoli slaw is my exception. It’s not expensive and is great to throw into stir frys, soups, stews and salads. Plus broccoli gives a nutritional punch to any dis...

Jamie K of Save the Kales joins the blog tour with one of my favorite recipes, Vanilla and Rosewater Parfaits.

This is what Jamie has to say about this unusual dessert -You’d never think this gorgeous, fluffy parfait is a protein powerhouse made with beans, so your mind is about to be blown.

Plus you can change up the flavors by using different cookies for the crumbs and switch out the extracts.

I hope you are having a wonderful summer!

I finally have some winners to post from the contests!

I’m not a fan of sweating over a hot grill or stove. It’s much cooler to just soak some rice paper wrappers in warm water and filling them with fresh veggies or other pre-cooked goodies.

The beauty of summer rolls is that you can stuff them with just about anything in your fridge. I had 2 kinds...
