Image 3 Comments July 9, 2025 Vicki Brett-Gach

Romesco sauce is a roasted red pepper and tomato-based sauce, traditionally thickened with almonds and sometimes bread or breadcrumbs. This flavorful sauce adds delicious depth to almost everything it graces.

Originally from the Spanish Catalan region, it will sometimes… Read more


Easy Cream of Tomato Soup

Image 5 Comments February 19, 2025 Vicki Brett-Gach

This is just a super cozy, very kid-friendly soup to enjoy on a cold winter day.

This reminds my family of the kind that comes in a can, which is what my mom would make when I was a child. … Read more


BBQ Mac and Cheese

Image 2 Comments July 17, 2024 Vicki Brett-Gach

Here’s an easy sauce that’s perfect for a summer celebration. Maybe the next potluck?

It’s practically no-cook…other than sautéing an onion, and even our non-vegan family members have been enjoying this.

The flavor punch comes from BBQ sauce. I use … Read more


Chili Mac and Cheese

Image 5 Comments December 21, 2022 Vicki Brett-Gach

Every year for Christmas, I make pasta. When I first learned this was a custom in Italy, it must have really resonated with me. Looking back, we never had pasta on Christmas when I was growing up, so I guess … Read more


Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Pasta Sauce

Smoky Romesco Pasta

Image 3 Comments December 16, 2020 Vicki Brett-Gach

I’ve been making this sauce whenever I’m looking for a pasta dish that’s rich, smoky, and unforgettably delicious. It’s comforting, deeply flavorful, and practically no effort at all.

I’m making it again tonight. Don’t tell anyone, but this is a … Read more


Jalapeño Queso

Image 4 Comments March 6, 2019 Vicki Brett-Gach

It almost strains credulity that plant-based ingredients alone can create a queso this creamy and versatile.

Dip your baked whole grain tortillas HERE..of course. But don’t stop there. Drizzle everything you’re ready to love even more – from bean burgers … Read more


Lasagne Minestrone

Image 9 Comments January 16, 2019 Vicki Brett-Gach

This one pot dish is a comforting cross between Minestrone Soup and a hearty pan of Lasagne, with vegetables, beans, lasagna noodles, and greens. All of these wonderful ingredients cook together in a flavorful, rich tomato broth, and it’s especially … Read more
