Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cinnamon-spiced house granola

  • NicoleBrown on October 27, 2025

    We enjoyed this as a household! My first time making a granola recipe that did not involve any type of oil. Produced loose granola rather than clumps. Light enough where I feel good eating it as a bowl of cereal in the morning. Will repeat!

• Cozy pumpkin bowls

  • NicoleBrown on September 18, 2025

    Tasty! Had a different mouth feel than I was expecting based on the photo. I think i could have used a little more milk to thin it out next time. My almond butter was pretty thick. Used soy milk instead of almond to help up the protein content. 2 dates were plenty for me.

• Layered berry chia pudding & creamy oat parfait

  • NicoleBrown on October 17, 2025

    So far I’ve just made the berry chia pudding part. Quite good! Most chia pudding recipes I have ask for coconut milk which I’m currently trying to avoid, so I like that this does not! Will repeat!

• All-day tofu scramble

  • NicoleBrown on February 06, 2026

    Good! Made the tofu scramble portion. The Kala namak smelled especially potent when I was making this and I got a little nervous. But once everything was all cooked up it tasted great! Added some odds and ends from the fridge - kale, peppers, Brussels sprouts. Served with air-fryer hashbrowns and almond butter toast.

    Made the tofu scramble only topped with fresh tomatoes and green onions. Really nice - looking forward to making the recipe as written next time.

• Apricot, cardamom & blueberry bars

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    Dense, filling, and delicious! The recipe says to wait until completely cooled to cut into bars…. And I just couldn’t. If you love cardamom (as I do) you should give these a try.

• Apple, almond & chickpea muffins

  • NicoleBrown on December 22, 2025

    Tasty! Not as delicious as the blueberry, banana, and chia muffins. But still a nice, hearty breakfast muffin to grab when I’m on the go! I can see why using a disher would be a good idea here for a more uniformly shaped muffin. Baked 19 minutes in a metal muffin tin using parchment liners.

• Blueberry, banana & chia muffins

  • NicoleBrown on September 18, 2025

    Everyone loved these! One of my kids ate 3 in a row. My almond butter was thick rather than runny, but it was fine. Subbed soy milk for almond. Baked for 25 minutes in metal muffin tin with parchment liners. Will repeat!

• Sour cream

  • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 11, 2026

    Excellent and easy, loved!

• Tahini Caesar with quick smoked chickpeas & bacon-ish bits

  • lmhester on March 30, 2023

    Haven’t made the complete recipe, but the dressing is delicious!

  • CharlaChicarla on April 07, 2025

    I really liked this! The chickpeas and dressing were great! The bacon-ish bits were too easy to burn, but once I got a good batch they were good. Maybe would be better with a teeny bit of liquid smoke?

  • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 11, 2026

    The hit of an Easter holiday brunch and repeated several times since! Used the balsamic tempeh, store bought Parmesan - the Caesar dressing is perfection.

• Strawberry spinach salad with white-balsamic dressing

  • NicoleBrown on December 20, 2025

    Good! I purchased a discount crate of strawberries and am working on using them up! This salad is very pretty. I added chickpeas + quinoa to make it a more filling meal and up the protein content. I think some tofu feta would also be a great addition! Dressing is tasty.

• Pad Thai protein salad

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    I love the flavors in this salad! I did wind up with some larger portions of some of the veggies, so I doubled the sauce and was glad that I did. I would double it from here on out. Will be repeating this one at our house.

• Spiced creamy carrot hummus

  • NicoleBrown on September 12, 2025

    Good! Used chickpeas + aquafaba. Comes together easily and is quite tasty! Will repeat!

• Unforgettable French onion dip

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    What a treat! This will definitely go into our rotation for game day snacking. I don’t feel deprived at all now that I have a good substitute for the dairy based dips!

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    Delicious substitute for dairy based dips.

  • NicoleBrown on December 23, 2025

    Absolutely delicious & most definitely a repeater!

• Herbed cheeze ball

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    This does not taste like dairy cheese, but it does make a nice spread for crackers. It makes quite a bit, so it is good to make when serving a crowd

• Tuesday tempeh tacos

  • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 11, 2026

    Doubled and it will be easy to eat up the leftovers. Could def triple. Such a great taco meat mix! Was a little tricky to keep it from sticky in the cast iron but it worked fine. I could see adding some rice with it. Used flour tortillas and it was delicious.. Definitely repeat!

• Cauliflower potato dal

  • NicoleBrown on October 10, 2025

    Delicious and comforting! I subbed Yukon gold potatoes & added kale to mine. Otherwise followed instructions as written and found them to be spot on. Thought about making rice, but this dal is pretty hearty as is! Maybe next time I’d make some naan to go with.

• Vegetable jambalaya

  • lmhester on March 23, 2023

    This was a yummy meal on a cool night. I added a can of rinsed and drained black beans to make it more filling. I would make this again.

• Balsamic tempeh & Brussels sprouts bowl

  • NicoleBrown on October 14, 2025

    Nothing groundbreaking here, but an easy, throw together weeknight meal. Marinade & sauce are both very good!

  • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 11, 2026

    I’ve only made the balsamic tempeh, used it in Caesar salad, but this stuff could be added to anything. All time favorite tempeh.

• Pink quinoa & cheezy kale bowl

  • NicoleBrown on September 15, 2025

    I liked this, but I didn’t love it. Kale/chickpea mixture is very flavorful! My quinoa turned out more red than pink. Probably won’t repeat. Onto the next one!

• Lemon-turmeric bliss balls

  • Lalamzo on October 22, 2025

    Very lemony. Not bad, but just not for me.

• Pumpkin pie squares

  • NicoleBrown on November 09, 2025

    I liked these! But my family felt a bit apathetic towards them. They are still being consumed by said family, but I’m glad I can freeze any extras to eat at my leisure.

• Mint chocolate-caramel chews

  • NicoleBrown on February 25, 2026

    Made these primarily for my husband who was craving chocolate + mint. He really enjoyed them. Instructions were very easy to follow. Except I don’t even soak my nuts for that long. Just 15 minutes in boiling water does the trick. Definitely minty & chewy! I think i would prefer keeping mine in the freezer…but I’m pretty sure my husband will eat them all before that happens lol.

• Gingerbread cloud cookies

  • NicoleBrown on December 18, 2025

    Every December I crave all the blackstrap molasses bakes! You can definitely tell these are a healthier/less sugar added cookie. I enjoy them, but my family prefers sweeter versions. Got 16 cookies with whatever size my cookie scoop is. 14 minute bake time was perfect.

• BBQ sauce

  • NicoleBrown on October 18, 2025

    So delicious! Will be my new go to from now on.
