    Classic vegan French onion soup! 〰️ Classic an Classic vegan French onion soup!
〰️
Classic and COZY 🤗 This recipe has it all: the salty and deeply savory broth, those sweet caramelized onions (3+ pounds of them) and crispy cheese toasts that will soak it all up, little by little. I like to use my homemade, melty vegan cashew mozzarella cheese, which is pictured, but you can use store-bought vegan cheese, too. My favorite is the mozzarella olive oil cheese shreds from @goodplanetfoods 🫶
〰️
This recipe requires patience, but that patience is oh-so-rewarding. Get the recipe by clicking through the link in my bio, just in time for a very wintery Wednesday.

    Quick steamed green beans with Dijon vinaigrette 💚
〰️
This is the perfect low-key veggie side to whip up at the last minute and serve along with your dinner. It can also be your green veggie of choice after a long weekend of cooking, hosting, entertaining, etc. So simple, so fast, and so wholesome (green beans are unsung nutrition heroes—more on that in my recipe post!). Read all about it by clicking through the link in my bio 🔗
〰️
Hope you’ve been enjoying a restful or family-filled or fun long weekend, if you had a little time off 😚

    Just pausing for coffee, coffee cake, and some lau Just pausing for coffee, coffee cake, and some laughs (thanks, @someshellyphotography 😘). I haven’t had much to say about me lately, honestly, which is why weekend reading posts were a bit inconsistent earlier this fall. But I’m here, cooking up a storm, serving my wonderful nutrition clients, and feeling grateful for small moments of joy, like this one. I wish many such moments for you as we head into the holiday season.⁠

    Sheet pan butternut squash salad with kale 🧡
〰️
If you need a holiday dish that’s festive, super colorful, and nutritious, this is it. It’s the perfect type of salad for fall and winter, served warm and yet still abundant in greens. It’s easy, too—the most work you’ll do is to give your kale a good massage 😉 Crispy chickpeas add plant protein, while roasted apples and red onions create these wonderful, deep, sweet and savory notes. Click through the link in my bio for the recipe!

    Could not be more head over heels for this vegan a Could not be more head over heels for this vegan apple pie with streusel topping! 😍
〰️
As much as I love practicing my lattice skills, honestly, this is a season of easygoing baking for me. I love that this pie requires only a bottom layer of pastry. The decoration is as simple as layering a batch of tender, buttery crumb topping over juicy apples. The finished pie is so rustic and homey, with all of the cinnamon-scented, classic apple pie vibes! A scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream is optional but highly recommended 😊
