This oat bowl is so easy but don't take your eyes off these sneaky oats while they are in the pot otherwise they will stick and burn on the bottom. Daniel usually makes the oats but I gave it a go this morning and he forgot to mention that you need to keep stirring so I got to make the mistake so you don't have to! Cinnamon Peanut Butter Oats 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)1 cup water1 cup old fashioned oats1 tsp salt1 tsp cinnamondollop peanut butter¼ cup fruit¼ cup ... View the Post
Vegan Fresh Fruit Crisp
I will not call this a Fall Crisp because here in Charlotte, there is not even a hint of lower temperatures. Sure, my back yard is littered with leaves already, but I am in shorts and a sports tank with the fans and AC on full blast. And if someone says "transitional outfit" one more time on social media, I think I'm going to go nuts. There is nothing transitional about 94℉ with a real feel of 98℉. Here in the Deane household, my fridge is still loaded with summer berries so I thought I'd do ... View the Post
Salad In A Jar: Hello Berry + Hearty Couscous + Merry Mediterra
I grew up eating a side salad with our meals almost every night and I liked it very simple - lettuce, carrots, cucumber and feta cheese and I would have it dry without dressing (gasp!). My aunt, who lives here in Waxhaw, came to visit us in South Africa one year and brought us one of those DIY ranch dressing packets and I was hooked, I finally had 'saucy' salads. I still liked ranch when I became a vegan so I was very grateful to find out that Daiya made a vegan homestyle ranch! I have since ... View the Post
Vegan Banana Oat Pancakes For The Whole Family
Anyone else a creature of habit? Before I became a vegan, I ate the same breakfast (Pronutro) for about 26 years. I think I even ate the same lunch (ham and cheese sandwich) for that same amount of time and our dinners lacked variety as well. Becoming a vegan has opened the door to so many wonderful dishes and a wide variety of foods and meals that we never had imagined before. Having said that, I still eat the same thing for breakfast (muesli) and Ollie eats his oat cereal with pieces of fruit ... View the Post
Vegan Tofu Penne
I'm on a summer pasta salad kick so I'm trying out all sorts of different combinations and am loving experimenting with different flavors. The Fusilli Pasta I posted a little while back has a fun tomato and olive flavor, while this Tofu Penne Pasta has a creamy cashew avocado flavor. I've been serving Ollie more finger foods again lately because we went to the Doctor and she said that he can eat everything that we are eating, with special care not to have too much salt (and other seasonings) ...

Meal plans: July 9 – 13
Monday: Pasta leftovers Tuesday: Smoothie Bowls Wednesday: Homemade sushi Thursday: Pineapple Fried Rice Friday: Leftovers Saturday: Homemade Pizza Sunday: Fusilli Pasta Monday, Tuesday and tonight (Thursday) went as planned but on Wednesday I finished my shift at Y2 and had to go get Daniel and Oliver from my Mom's house in Matthews so dinner plans went out the window. I had to feed Oliver and his bed time was fast approaching so I called my favorite sushi place, New ... View the Post
Vegan Fusilli Pasta Salad
I love making up recipes from pictures I see on IG or Pinterest but I am so bad at writing down exactly what I do as I go along. I've even had to make the same meal again so that I can write down every step I took. So, I'm sharing this rough recipe today and hopefully you trust yourself enough to just take a dive and throw things in the pan together. You really can't go wrong with cooking, because if you put too many olives in, you can just take them out. It's baking that you really need to ... View the Post
Tropical Smoothie
My heart is on an island somewhere today. I feel like everyone on Instagram is in a tropical paradise somewhere, amiright? We are desperate to go to the beach and want to know your recommendations for best beach vacation spots from the Outer Banks to the Caribbean and Mexico. I want them all! (please) In the mean time, I thought I'd bring the beach vibe to Charlotte today and make my own tropical smoothie. This recipe is sweet, smooth and simple. Tropical Smoothie 1 cup ... View the Post
Cucumber Sandwiches
Liverpool was recently in the Champion's League Final vs Real Madrid (we don't want to talk about it) so we had some friends over to watch the game. I have such good intentions about a big feast and then the reality of life with a baby hits me and I just pull things together last minute. I was hoping to have more "English themed" snacks like my delicious scones with tea and jam but time ran away from me and I just managed to do cucumber sandwiches and my favorite decadent chocolate cake. Luckily ... View the Post
Vegan Taco Salad
My Aunty Cheri introduced me to the wonderful meal that is the taco salad and I was very excited to make a vegan version. It's on our meal plans every week because the leftovers are a must for #momlife and it's not hot and heavy so you can enjoy it outdoors on the deck. Daniel and I took this meal to a friend's house and their 3 year old asked for more before he had even finished his bowl! That just makes a cook's heart melt and I love that it's a great family meal for when Ollie starts ... View the Post
