Apple Snacking Cake {plant based/vegan friendly}
Are you stuck for a delicious dessert idea that will please everyone? Including your vegan family and friends, or anyone who’s simply not eating eggs or dairy? That’s what I needed this past week, while helping my vegan daughter and son-in-law move into their new condo. Because, let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like the smell of something yummy baking in the oven to make a new place feel like home. I came across a great recipe on Pinterest. With some tweaking and additions, I created my own version. We all loved it! And if you don’t need it to be vegan, just use regular milk and butter. Same delicious…

The Best Instant Pot Cream of Potato Leek Soup (vegan friendly)
“What’s for dinner?” Some days those words really make me cringe, as I just have no idea what to prepare. In this household we currently feed one picky meat and potato lover, one vegan wannabe that hates most vegetables, and one total foodie mama that despises boring food….and currently we also have living with us another daughter, son-in-law and grandchild who are all vegan. It’s a real challenge cooking for this family! I need all the help I can get. My inspiration yesterday came straight out of the TV, courtesy of the Marilyn Denis Show and chef Christine Cushing. I love that show! It’s a fantastic way to start the…
