Ever since I went vegan, I have collected vegan cookbooks. And in nearly every one of these cookbooks, there is an author’s tried and true mac n’ cheese recipe that will please your dairy loving friends and family. I will admit, many of them were more like pasta in a cream sauce than “cheese-like” but what I can swear by is that Robin Robertson has been one of my top favorite vegan cookbook authors since day one. I have always liked her play on spices and even textures to bring back a typically nonvegan dish and make it into something really, really, really special. Also, her recipes have NEVER failed me so there is also that important benefit of purchasing her cookbooks too! With that being said, Robin Robertson has done something that I would file under “Why hasn’t this been done before?” and she totally did it…AN ENTIRE COOKBOOK DEDICATED TO VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE!!! This isn’t just 50 ways to make the same dish…nope!!! Robin Robertson takes you on a global adventure as well, along with making your own instant mac n’ cheese that will have you leaving those overpriced vegan box mixes for good!!! But today, I am one of the stops on Robin Robertson’s Vegan Mac & Cheese blog tour and I am giving my readers what I call a “Double Feature” and posting two recipes from this newly released cookbook. If you make any of the recipes, please let me know…I’d love to hear what you think about it!

“That moment when you are stunned by the monster and you have to hit the buttons to set you free..”. (How fitting!)

There are a lot of things we have all been told that you shouldn’t do when you are upset…blogging may be one of them and today I am here to break that rule.  Those who have followed my blog know I am not one to call people out, nor am I one who is quick to reply to the ever so common “I’m not vegan anymore” posts.  Lucky for you, this isn’t a reply to a former vegan.  This is a response to a couple of guys who I once admired greatly, who once prided themselves on spreading the vegan message in “Smalltown, USA” and who at one point actively avoided living in major cities to write a book that was going to reach the masses and prepare all of us for “Vegan World Domination”.   Continue reading →

The title says it all but yet there is sooo much more in these pages!

Eat a whole batch….I won’t judge!!!

Let me get something off my chest.  I’ve been told that I am an awesome cook, but the deliciousness I create is often at the help of some amazing vegan chefs who create cookbooks that need to be in every kitchen.  When I started this blog a few years ago, I struggled with this blog not becoming “another one of those vegan food blogs” and my goal from the start has been to normalize veganism- not by diet but also by lifestyle too.  Staying on this path is hard because vegan food is incredible and whenever I create some kitchen magic worthy of sharing, I want to share it! I hope you like this recipe enough to share with others.
