Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup – a super simple, healthy cream of broccoli soup packed with fresh flavor, bright color and creamy, cozy vibes — and made entirely without dairy. I love soup. As a kid — and even early into adulthood — I was a sucker for canned soup. The bloated, squishy, noodles. The melt-in-your-mouth carrots. I adored them. And then one day, somewhere around my cooking-for-roommates college years, I heard Rachael Ray insist that, “If there’s one thing you don’t need to buy canned, it’s soup. It’s just too easy to make good soup from scratch.” And, much … Read More

Cranberry Sherbet Freezes (Dairy-Free)

Cranberry Sherbet Freezes recipe (via thepigandquill.com) #dairyfree #homemadesherbet #holidaydessert #drinks

Sweet-tart homemade cranberry sherbet topped with effervescent DASANI® Sparkling Lime for a seasonal take on a classic soda fountain sherbet freeze. This post has been sponsored by The Coca Cola Company. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I grew up down the street from an old-fashioned soda fountain. I spent countless afternoons there in middle school and high school, tucked away in the back booth with the same squad of girlfriends, giggling about boys and admiring each other’s iridescent manicures. For nearly every Friday of my freshman and sophomore year, I ordered the same thing: Cherry Amaretto, in a … Read More

Instant Pot Miso Red Bean Stew | vegetarian + gluten-free

Instant Pot Miso Red Bean Stew recipe | vegetarian + gluten-free (via thepigandquill.com) #dinner #mealplanning

We’re hot in the midst of a pantry purge. I think I mentioned when I was raving about these Chocolate Banana Muffins. It’s been more than a month since we’ve bought any packaged or pantry staples (aside from those required for client work), and so far we’ve seen very little sacrifice in the quality of our meals. I’d even go so far as to say we’ve markedly improved the way we eat. (This stew is a fine example, but I’ll get there.) Here’s the gist. Each weekend, we hit up the grocery store or, if possible, the local farmstand and … Read More
