Creamy Edamame Dip
I had intended to make a cilantro chumus for my St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Party, but a quick look in my pantry revealed I was out of chickpeas! Plan B: I had a bag of shelled edamame from Trader Joe’s …
Creamy Scalloped Potatoes (Vegan)
When I went dairy free, I really missed scalloped potatoes. The kind where you make a thick, cheesy sauce, pour it over thinly sliced potatoes, and then bake it in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes …
St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Party: Traditional Irish Soda Bread (Vegan)
