Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning and How to Use It

November 13, 2018 By Susan Voisin 18 Comments

Since I visited New York City in September, my family has become addicted to this oniony, garlicy sesame bagel seasoning!

Before I left for my trip, I checked the location of our hotel on the map and was excited to discover that there was a Trader Joe’s around the block. There isn’t one in our entire state, so when I travel, I like to check them out.

Unfortunately, I usually get into the store not knowing what to look for and wind up disappointed. This time I did a little preliminary research in some of the Facebook groups I follow, and in all of them there was one product that was constantly mentioned: Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning. So I bought a jar and brought it home….

Vegan Roasted Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese

October 8, 2018 By Susan Voisin 14 Comments

Last Monday morning, I was checking my blog comments, as I always do, when I found a new comment on my Easy Vegan Macaroni and Cheese:

I was so surprised I nearly choked on my coffee. Not only had my darling daughter made my recipe, but she’d taken the time to leave a comment. And she’d correctly used a comma! This seemingly small thing meant a lot to me as a mother, a food blogger, and a former English teacher….

Blueberry Applesauce Cake Bars

The first time I described picking blueberries, I wrote, “There’s something peaceful about picking blueberries, even when you have to stand on a ladder to do it.” I went on to post the recipe for a Chocolate-Blueberry Cake that was pretty amazing, but some of the people who commented were more curious about the ladder…

Barbecued Waffle Iron Tofu

Tofu is coated in sugar-free barbecue sauce and then quick-cooked on a waffle iron for the chewiest, most flavorful tofu in under 10 minutes. Welcome to tofu of the month! Just kidding, mostly, but since my second-to-last post was Air Fried Tofu Italian Style, you may start to think that I eat nothing but tofu. The…

Red Lentil Soup with Cauliflower Rice

This richly spiced but not spicy red lentil soup is made thicker and heartier by the addition of cauliflower rice. It’s a complete vegan meal in a bowl, but serve it with a little naan or pita bread if you like. I take recipe inspiration wherever I can find it–meals in restaurants, descriptions in novels,…

Air Fried Tofu Italian Style

I’ve had an air fryer for well over a year and even started a Facebook group, FatFree Vegan Air Fryers, to share cooking ideas. I’ve posted several air fryer recipes, but I’ve never taken the opportunity to write about the air fryer in depth, to review the different air fryers, describe how they work, give…

Instant Pot Red Beans and Rice Soup

Sometimes you just need comfort food, like this creamy Instant Pot red beans and rice soup. Sometimes those times can stretch into weeks… and months. Our 2018 started with a bang, literally. On January 3, our daughter E was driving D’s car when a man in a truck pulled out and hit her, knocking her…

Vegan Irish Cream Cheesecake

When my family and I left town last week to spend Christmas with our two families, the last thing I expected was to come home with a new recipe to share. I’d signed off on Facebook for the holidays and didn’t even bring a camera with me. My plan was to make only tried and…
