I’ve been making this recipe every week for about a month and a half. And let me tell you why: It is SO quick. It can be as quick as it takes to cook your pasta. It requires minimal ingredients. It can be packed with plant-based protein, which keeps ya full for longer. It’s really so good and comforting. Who doesn’t love a creamy pasta dish?! My love affair is going strong with this one, my friend. Excited for you to try it! I use hummus in… everything. It’s a great, creamy, protein-packed, and convenient base to a lot of different things like: Toast Slaw Flatbreads Dressing Wraps And… pa ..read more

This is an easy recipe for the sautéed mushrooms I make literally every single week. I actually crave these when it gets close to dinnertime. And I made these for my parents a few weeks ago, and they both were like, “These are really good mushrooms.” So yeah, I think they’ve earned the right of being called “the best.” The technique for this recipe comes from none other than Dan Souza from America’s Test Kitchen. Have you watched the What’s Eating Dan? series on YouTube? It’s so good. He kind of reminds me of Alton Brown in the way he approaches cooking. It’s a great series, but his mushroom ..read more

Yay baking! Tbh, I’ve been having a weird couple of days. Just kinda feeling off. So I decided to fall back on the thing that can and always does make me very very happy: baking. I wasn’t looking for some sort of complicated baking project; I just wanted to work with my hands, measure ingredients, and have a really delicious baked-good in front of me in just a few minutes. Enter: these muffins! They’re based off of this muffin recipe, which is a recipe based off these Zucchini Muffins from Pinch of Yum. They’re made (almost) entirely in the blender/food processor. I really love recipes like ..read more

It’s that time of the year again, my friends! It’s time to talk about BOOKS! This is my fourth year publishing a roundup of my favorite reads from the past year, and I look forward to writing this post every single time. Why? It’s just a little different from the regularly scheduled programming here on Fooduzzi (vegan recipes). And reading is what I spend a lot of time doing, so it’s great to reflect on the truly great reads at the end of each year. If you’re interested, here are the past “favorites” posts: Favorite Books from 2022 Favorite Books from 2021 Favorite Books from 2020 This year ..read more

Hi Christmas is in a little over two weeks. Omg. How did it creep up on us so quickly?! I feel like this time of year absolutely flies, and I always find that I get close to the big day while still needing a gift idea or two. And that feeling is exactly what inspired this post. Maybe you’re in the same boat where you just remembered you needed a gift for someone, or perhaps you’re visiting friends or family over the holidays and you want to bring them something special. I’ve gotcha covered! These are all quick, easy, and things I really love. I’m not a fan of “buying something just to buy som ..read more

The happiest of holidays to you, my friend. Today we’re going to: Make your house smell amazing. Decorate for the holidays on the cheap. DIY a fun, kid-friendly holiday craft. Set yourself up for delicious-smelling ornaments for years to come! Have you ever made cinnamon ornaments before? We had them for our tree when I was younger, and I always looked forward to opening the bag they were kept in because they smelled so delicious. And they smelled that way for 20ish years. Every year, without fail, the sweet, spicy cinnamon aroma would perfume our Christmas tree and make the holiday vibes ..read more

[This post is sponsored by my best foodie friends at Bob’s Red Mill! We’re using their 00 Flour for this recipe.] Yep, it’s pasta time yet again! Like I said just a few weeks ago, I just really love pasta as a cozy fall food. We’re going a little wild today and making our own pasta. It’s one of those culinary things that makes you feel like a full-blown chef. It’s something you can buy pretty much anywhere, but making it from scratch just seems so… fancy. Such a fun way to turn a regular ol’ pasta dish into one that’s really something to talk about. That’s why I was so excited ..read more

Is there anything more comforting than a big ol’ bowl of pasta? My answer: no. It is the quintessential cozy food for me, and I will praise its perfection all year long. But… there’s something about pasta just hitting different in the fall and winter months. It is extra cozy, extra soothing, extra satisfying. That’s why, when September started, I woke up craving pasta. And not just any pasta: vodka sauce. Now, it might have been because I watched this video and read this article and kind of went down the vodka sauce rabbit hole. But still. A craving’s a craving, and it had to be dealt with ..read more

Like it or not, fall will be upon us in a matter of days. Personally? I’m thrilled. I’m so excited for cooler weather, boots, and all of the cinnamony things. But if you’re looking for a way to soak up these final fleeting days of summer, allow me to introduce you to my absolute favorite summer sandwich. Those hunks up there are one of the reasons why this sandwich is so good. End-of-summer tomatoes just… hit different. They are so juicy and plump and tart and sweet and umami-y. Not to mention totally beautiful. If you have a local farmers market where you can get some big heirloom tomatoes ..read more
