So those of you who know me, know we are “mostly” vegan now. My hubby, 100%. Babycakes and I, about 97%. So when Chef D Malfi, YouTube extraordinaire, plant-based chef, and genuinely such a sweet soul, invited me onto her cooking show, it was an easy “yes.” And when she mentioned vegan cheese sauce, it was a “HECK YES!!” I […]
This apple breakfast casserole is super simple to make and feeds a big family (or gives you lots of delicious leftovers for later in the week). It is totally vegan/vegetarian, since that is mostly how we eat these days (though you can adjust it based on what you have in your fridge). The star: Autumn Glory apples! They have hints […]
