Chili Mac and Cheese

Image 3 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

Image Leave a comment March 23, 2022 Vicki Brett-Gach

I have a new favorite springtime sauce that I’ve been making. It’s so rich you’ll barely believe that all of this creaminess could come from low-fat vegetables alone. But it’s true.

In the photo above, you’ll see that I topped … Read more


Air-Fried Mac and Cheese Balls

Image 1 Comment January 19, 2022 Vicki Brett-Gach

These are amazing!

Literally just a mixture of mashed potatoes and leftover mac and cheese, they are unexpectedly fantastic. My husband and son adore these – as do I. The sum is so much greater than its parts.

The … Read more


Pasta with Creamy Walnut Alfredo Sauce

Image Leave a comment June 16, 2021 Vicki Brett-Gach

This creamy sauce is so elegant and delicious that your friends and family may think you were working on this all day.

I love to add in steamed spinach sautéed with shallots, or loads of steamed broccoli to this dish … Read more


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 5 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, white beans, lasagna noodles, and greens. All of these wonderful ingredients cook together in a flavorful, rich tomato broth, and it’s … Read more


Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Arugula Pesto Pasta

Image 5 Comments October 3, 2018 Vicki Brett-Gach

Flavor-packed and dramatic, this is a jazzy dish that’s perfect for guests, yet easy enough for a great family dinner.

An easy arugula pesto is tossed with cooked pasta and loads of oven-roasted shallots, zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes. The … Read more


Vegan Mac and Cheese Perfection

Image 9 Comments September 5, 2018 Vicki Brett-Gach

This cheesy vegan pasta…well…I think it’s so heavenly that I had to name it accordingly.

The cream sauce is magical, made with a blended mixture of cashews, roasted red peppers, and grilled onions. It’s addictively comforting, and absolutely delicious. It’s … Read more


Holiday Lentil Bolognese

Image Leave a comment December 6, 2017 Vicki Brett-Gach

This Lentil Bolognese is my newest go-to pasta sauce, with chunks of sautéed vegetables, hearty lentils, and a jalapeño kick that together elevate plain tomato sauce into a rich, company-worthy meal.

Serve this over whole grain pasta for a delicious … 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 💚
Ready for an easy Summer Red-Skinned Potato Salad? I’m so excited to be demonstrating this recipe on June 4th, at Spring VegFest at Eastern Market in Detroit! Hope to see you there!
