Cheesy Mashed Potatoes Bowl

Image 4 Comments April 19, 2023 Vicki Brett-Gach

Sometimes a combination you’ve never tried before is delicious beyond expectations.

I really shouldn’t be surprised that this Mashed Potatoes Bowl was one of those combos, since this cheese sauce makes just about everything better. Plus what’s cozier than mashed … Read more

I’m always craving savory (rather than sweet) in the morning. Tofu scrambles are … Read more

This Tempeh Skillet creates a hearty backdrop to red cabbage, black beans, greens, and sweet … Read more

Just finishing up the recipe for these Fresh Pineapple Shakes! 🍍
Join us this Sunday, June 4th! I’ll be doing a live cooking demo with Michele Gallo at NOON! And look for my table where I’ll be selling and signing copies of “The Plant-Based for Life Cookbook” all day long! @vegmichigan 💚
We just spent 3 nights in a hotel in Traverse City and stayed completely oil free WFPB - with homemade food - for every meal while we were there. It took just a little bit of planning. Brought my @zavoramerica pressure cooker, to prepare the best-ever mashed potatoes 🥔 plus @zavoramerica induction burner and sauté pan, to make sautéed greens 🥬 (with a shallot and riced cauliflower). Also brought with us leftover cooked whole wheat pasta and homemade pasta sauce 🍝along with frozen batch-prepped red lentil and black bean soup that I had stored in my @soupercubes (which also helped keep everything cold in the cooler on our drive too). We just mixed and matched all of those ingredients plus @foodforlifebaking Ezekiel English muffins, @kitehillfoods cream cheese and lots of fresh fruit for the most delicious combinations! Shout out to @zestplantbasedkitchen for their awesome breakfast/lunch to take with us for the drive back home to Ann Arbor!l 💚
