Rich Cauliflower Creamed Spinach – a delectable plant based remake of the classic side dish! this quick and easy recipe is one most everyone can enjoy because it is soy free, gluten free, oil free, nut free and low carb!

Rich Cauliflower Creamed Spinach

I have pretty much been plant based – vegetarian most of my life.

Celebrations over the years often included a nice night out at a restaurant. In my family, that restaurant was often the favorite steakhouse in Portland.

On those nights, my dinner was a lovely selection of sides – baked potato, salad, creamed spinach.

In no way is this a complaint! I love sides! I love a whole dinner made up from sides and starters!

As a result, that rich creamed spinach – a classic on a steakhouse menu – reminds me of …

You guys.

It’s March.

First day of Spring. Sunshine. St Paddy’s Day. SXSW. March Madness.

SUNSHINE.

…and for the math nerd in me, Pi Day.

Longtime readers know I celebrate each year. Always with pie, often shaped into Pi. At the very least, a Pi symbol carved into or built up from crust.

My 2018 Pi pie recipe is coming up soon, I promise.

and it is good.

In the meantime, to kick off the month I have a Pie Collection for Pi Day – sweet and savory, pie for everyone! Included in my years of recipes I have pizza, I have breakfast pie, I even have pie bites. For this upcoming important day, however – all the pies I am sharing here today were specifically made for Pi Day.

You can quickly see how I can tell the difference.

You would have done the same.

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

this Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection has all the pinks and reds and sweet and sparkle that any of your Valentines could wish for.

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

ah, Valentines Day.

the holiday so many like to dislike.

Single or attached, I have always liked Valentines Day. Single and spending it with friends, or in a relationship and celebrating.

Jason and I typically do not celebrate with a night out, and these days we may not always do gifts.

Well, since getting married, we actually do the traditional anniversary gifts on this day. Because Valentines Day is the day we secretly got married in 2014. Yep, we were married with just a few loved ones as witnesses, with my brother in law officiating. Karaoke and cupcakes after. It was a perfect Valentines Day, and later that same year – in the fall – we had the big ceremony and party.

Also just as glorious, with all of our loved ones in the same room – such a vibrant concentration of super love.

Anyway, not everyone likes Valentines Day.

and that is okay – I get it.

I will always like it, and I will always create pinks and reds in sweet flavored treats!

I don’t need a card or fancy night out, and I definitely tell ALL of my loved ones on a regular basis just how important they are to me. Commercialization or not, I still love the holiday about love.

So, whether you are celebrating or not, I imagine you too can find something you like from our Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection…
