One of the things that makes it difficult for some vegetarians to cut out dairy is cheese. In part this is because it’s an easy and tasty source of protein. Our super-easy cheese sauce has 16 grams of protein in a full batch. The other issue is taste, and our cheese sauce is the closest we have come to tasting like actual dairy-based cheese sauce.

Chestnut cream seems like such an exotic thing, but it is actually so easy to make, especially when you start with the pre-peeled chestnuts available at Costco and other places. And while sweet chestnut cream is typically made using a simple sugar syrup, ours is sweetened with dates, and so even easier to make! There are lots of things that you can do and make with chestnut cream, but one of the classics is a Mont Blanc dessert, which is, traditionally, sweet chestnut cream piled onto a meringue base, and topped with whipped cream (doesn’t that sound yummy?) Following our recipe and directions you can make the entire thing vegan, including with vegan meringue!

The reason we say that this very easy, vegan spicy Asian peanut sauce is versatile is because you can use it for so many things! Toss baked, steamed, or fried tofu with it, put it over rice, or use it over noodles to make dan dan mein. Or thin it out a bit and use it as a dipping sauce for potstickers, spring rolls, or vegan egg rolls!

A vegan caramel sauce recipe made with olive oil and maple syrup?? Yes! And our twist on it brings it to a whole new level of foodgasm!The Internet is a’buzz with @fitgreenmind’s viral TikTok video showing a very simple recipe, or hack if you will, of taking olive oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, and turning it into smooth, delicious caramel sauce. Now, this is not as outlandish as it may seem at first glance. Traditional caramel sauce recipes nearly all call for butter, cream, and sugar. In other words, to make a delicious caramel sauce you need fat and something sweet. In the olive oil and maple syrup recipe, the olive oil takes the place of the fat from the butter and cream, while the maple syrup provides the something sweet, and together they provide the mouthfeel.

One of the coolest things about the shelf-stable, aseptic-boxed Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is how utterly versatile it is. Yet this unsung hero of the vegan world is often overlooked, passed by on store shelves for its water-packed, refrigerated cousins. Hopefully our easy creamy vegan salad dressing and dip recipe will change that! (By the way, the Mori-Nu organic silken tofu is considered ‘soft tofu’; it doesn’t say it anywhere on the box but that has been confirmed by Mori-nu. This is important to know as there is such a thing as firm silken tofu and even extra-firm silken tofu.)

This recipe for vegan chipotle cheese sauce (which of course is also gluten-free) is based on Miyoko’s fantastic concoction. It is based on, of all things, butternut squash!

You are not going to believe how easy, delicious, and fast our 2-ingredient vegan tomato cream sauce recipe is! Of course, we use this vegan tomato cream sauce for pasta (we love it with the Costco Banza chickpea pasta) but you can use it for whatever you’d like. Smother a vegan meatloaf in it, make it the basis for an extra special, creamy vegan lasagna, or even use it as a soup base! Want to make a vegan version of the famous vodka tomato sauce? No problem, just change this to a 3-ingredient tomato cream sauce by adding some vodka (we include instructions for that as well). To quote a certain popular 70s and 80s band, “Any way you want it…”.

Jonesing for some Bitchin’ Sauce but can’t find it, or just want to make it yourself? This copycat Bitchin’ Sauce recipe will hit the spot!

We loved the original Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce, and our copycat Primal Kitchen vegan buffalo sauce (“vegan wing sauce” for short) looks and tastes just like the original! (Which they call their “No-Dairy Buffalo sauce”.) Why do we say “the original” Primal Kitchen sauce? If you think that your last bottle of Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce didn’t taste quite the same, there’s a reason for that, which we explain below. But our copycat Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce follows the original recipe with which you first fell in love. Not only that, but because you’re making it yourself at home, you can make it less spicy, or even hotter and more spicy if you like! Serve this with our 1 Ingredient, 3 Step Vegan Wings for a real treat!

We call this easy tofu marinade and sauce our “6 x 1” marinade (pronounced “six by one”, or just “six by”) because it consists of one tablespoon of each of six ingredients (plus some water). It’s super simple, in fact deceptively simple. We say “deceptively” because it’s one of those recipes that people will think you spent waaaay more time and effort on than you actually did. We love those kinds of recipes.

You will not believe how easy it is to make homemade cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries. Don’t like cranberry sauce? If your entire experience with cranberry sauce is with that gelatinous stuff from a can, we urge you to try fresh cranberry sauce. The difference is night and day. It’s like the difference between canned green beans and fresh green beans, or canned mushrooms and fresh mushrooms, or…well you get the point.

We’re huge fans of vegan cheese sauce. Vegan cheese sauce made from cashews, vegan cheese sauce made from coconut milk, you name just about any vegan cheese sauce made from pretty much anything, and we’re there. So we were surprised to realize one day that we’d never had, let alone made, a vegan cheese sauce out of tofu! Like, how obvious is that?

Whether you like traditional hummus or hummus with no tahini, this delicious, easy hummus recipe will do the trick! It’s actually a 4-in-1 recipe: hummus with tahini, hummus without tahini, hummus in the Instant Pot, hummus with canned chickpeas (garbanzos).

We love aioli, but it’s not vegan… until now! Aioli is typically not vegan because a main ingredient of aioli is egg yolk. So we have included a vegan egg yolk recipe!

You are going to love this vegan salad dressing – it takes just a few minutes to whip up, and it’s absolutely delicious!

If you have a bunch of apples and don’t feel like making pie or apple crisp, try our easy, four-ingredient applesauce! It’s vegan, gluten-free, and super inexpensive.

Do you have a crisper full of vegetables? We usually have more than we can eat, and we hate to just let them go to waste.

Why buy salsa at a store when you can make your own at home? We recently got our hands on a bunch of fresh tomatillos, and became excited by the prospect of transforming them into salsa.

This recipe is for that delicious green sauce that you get as a condiment at Indian restaurants, which is actually called green chutney.
