Tunisian Eggplant and Chickpea Stew
When the day calls for something with big flavor, but you don’t have time for hours of simmering, turn to this rich and flavorful stew that offers complex flavors, yet not overly spicy. The assertive ingredient is harissa, and when combined with smoked paprika, cumin, and fire-roasted tomatoes, you have an earthy and satisfying dish but with an edgy kick.
Plant-Based Ballpark Brats
I grew up in a deeply rooted German community in southern MN, rich in culture, festivals, and food. That being said, I think I have a discriminate palate for a good brat. So as I developed this recipe, the key to its success was to nail it on flavor, as well as achieving that snap when you bite into it as if it had a casing. Mission accomplished!
Creamy Plant-Based Sausage Gravy
This is an old southern favorite that I’ve adapted for those following a whole food plant-based lifestyle. No oil, no salt, no sugar! This truly is a classic, hearty breakfast that takes me back to some of my favorite vacations in the south, every time I make it. It’s quick and easy, but you will need to have some of my Plant-Based Breakfast Sausage on hand to whip up this glorious stuff.
Instant Pot Smoky Split Pea Soup
Over this past year my Instant Pot has become my favorite cooking vessel. Why? Because all I have to do is slice, dice, dump, and stir. It doesn’t get any easier and I don’t sacrifice one bit of flavor. You’ll see for yourself when you try a warm bowl of this comfy goodness.

Cashew Cream
Cashew cream is really quite simple, just two ingredients. Cashew cream is essentially the ultimate dairy-free substitute that can be used for all sorts of plant-based recipes calling for a milk or cream base such as stroganoff, cream based soups or anywhere you’d use heavy cream or half and half.

It stands above all other stew recipes I’ve tried, offering that homey comfort, yet it’s versatile and sophisticated enough for your next dinner party. Bon appetit!
Versatile Plant-Based Mushroom Stroganoff
I say versatile because you can change up the spices to achieve the flavor profile you’re looking for. Want your stroganoff to accompany your Thanksgiving dinner, use poultry seasoning. Want French inspired flavor? Use thyme or tarragon. Swedish Meatballs, use nutmeg. You get the idea, use your imagination! You can even add capers to really take it up a notch.
