Vegan Jello Salad Recipe

This “salad” was a holiday staple when I was a kid – gracing every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table. While it is sweet, and definitely a dessert, this was not our dessert. (I now mix it up with different flavors at the holidays, like our Cranberry Fluff Jello Salad.

This was served with dinner – dessert happened several hours later, right? That is …

Indo Chinese Corn Soup – this fragrant and flavorful soup is a quick and easy recipe – everyone will love this warmly spiced dish!

I love, love LOVE sesame. The scent, the flavor… tahini, oil, seeds, all of it! I do not know why I am not cooking with it daily. This glorious Indo Chinese Corn Soup calls for sesame oil in the recipe, and I also added a little bloop to the bowl when serving. A perfect finish.

This warmly spiced and fragrant soup is …

Grilled Vanilla Pint Cake with Strawberry Sauce and Pistachio – fresh summer berries top a unique take on a pound cake – fresh summer flavor!

While I enjoy ice cream any time of year, summertime is when we celebrate it more, right?

We have been enjoying a unique take on a pound cake recipe – seriously, I cannot stop making this pint cake with all the flavors. Yes. Pint Cake. See what I did there? This super easy cake recipe is a variation of my dear friend Katie’s recipe – one that came from her Bubbie. It uses a pint of the Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert, and is the perfect dessert cake similar to a pound cake!

Seriously. You know how many different flavors of pints So Delicious has?

Endless flavor …

Veggie Burger Recipe Collection – burgers for every flavor craving, even those you may not know you have – protein packed and plant based burgers for all!

Although it is raining today (is she really talking about the weather again?), the sun will be back tomorrow! We are planning to bring the outdoor furniture out of storage this weekend, and we might fire up the grill.

That first grill of the season – isn’t it the best?

Well, maybe not – any time we grill is pretty right on. I cannot wait for my first fresh grilled corn on the cob.

In compiling this veggie burger recipe collection, I stuck to burgers for the most part – with the exception of my favorite Cheesy Nacho Mushroom Melts. Right after that one, we are right back to burgers with a burger topped salad, for those who want to forgo the bun.

Or just love a warm protein topper to a cool crisp salad. *Raises hand*

This collection has some old favorites – my Sushi Ramen Burgers really need to be made again soon. My Chick-quin Burgers stuffed with Miyoko’s Mozzarella are always a welcome flavor – Marinara and Basil Aioli? Yes please and thank you.

Two of my cheese sauce recipes are also included. I recently made the Tangy Cheese Sauce – you may see it soon as a Totchos recipe.

Until then, bring on the burgers!

Classic Vegan Potato Salad – just like mom used to make, with pickle – a picnic favorite gets a plant based update that tastes just like the original!

Classic Vegan Pickle Potato Salad

I am so ready for summer.

For longer and warmer days, when our patio and deck become an extension of the living room. We are ready to drag out the patio furniture, fire up the grill, have people over for all the summer food favorites.

One of my summer food favorites is a Classic Vegan Pickle Potato Salad that I have adapted over the years from the recipe I grew up with – my moms potato salad. Classic flavors, not a lot of extras to distract from that simplicity I love.

I add extra dill pickle flavor to mine, though. A tangy tasty crunch.

Of course, while we have had a …

Waikiki Breakfast Salad and Easy Poppyseed Dressing

Waikiki Breakfast Salad and Easy Poppyseed Dressing – a fresh, flavorful, and filling entree to start to the day! Asian inspired flavors of the islands, every day!

Waikiki Breakfast Salad

I recently spent 10 days in Honolulu with my mom, soaking up the sunshine and eating fresh food. It took a couple days to adjust to the time difference – the first night I couldn’t get to sleep until past midnight, and still woke up at like, four in the morning.

Nothing a nap in the sun cannot fix, right?

We never really got past the early morning hours, though – always up by 5:30 or so. Most of our time on the island was spent at one of my favorite places, Embassy Waikiki Beach Walk. About two minutes to the beach, right in the middle of Beach Walk action and shops, daily cocktail hour and great breakfast.

Peaches and Cream French Toast – a fluffy French toast with a perfectly crisp edge and a natural sweetness from super juicy end of summer peaches – this is brunch ready!

If you ask me what my favorite late summer food is?

This year I would have to say peaches.

I think I have had the best peaches of my life this summer, no lie.

Dramatic? I don’t know. The peaches I have enjoyed are simply perfect. That exact right amount of natural sweet, and so juicy. This is like, one of three recipes I have bothered to make with peaches this summer, since I cannot get beyond just eating them as is.

Like, in the car on the way home from the market.

My new car may have had a few sticky spots on the steering wheel that needed cleaning last week.

French toast gets talked about here often enough, yes? You know I like it, you know I channel Grandpa Z with his fluffy salted French toast. This is the first time I made this particular idea for a custard, using a sweet combination of …
