I’ve made this dish before, but think it deserves another spotlight. To me, broccoli is best when it’s soft and swimming in a creamy sauce. This recipe lets me have that experience without feeling weighed down. This is a rich and filling recipe that is vegan and only involves a handful of ingredients.
Cream of Broccoli Soup
February 20, 2013 – 11:54 am
Another soup to keep your warm this Winter without packing on the pounds is Cream of Broccoli. I’m not talking about the version with cream and/or white potato. This recipe is vegan and lower-carb.

Here is a great recipe for when you are on the run and want to pack the most nutrition in as possible without slaving away at some complicated dish. Just blend and spread is what I say. This broccoli cream sauce is just what I love to have around to toss in salads or eat [...]
Steamed Broccoli and Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce
December 13, 2012 – 9:59 am
And it’s all vegan, even the cheese bit. I’ve made many a vegan cheese on this blog, but this one takes the cake as the most decadent and multi-purpose. It uses both white beans and sweet potato for consistency and color and tahini and nutritional yeast for that beloved cheesy flavor! Enjoy!

You can leave your seasoned chef skills at the door. This recipe is simply of a matter of roast, toss, and process. I’m all about the green leaf rolls – it allows me to get my veggies and greens all in one compact bite. A necessary element, however, is something that keeps all the chopped [...]

I accompany most meals with some sort of cooked vegetable, and the challenge has always been to accent its flavor with a complementary sauce. This ginger soy sauce recipe is one that I resort to most often for an extra kick to my side dish. The greatest thing about pairing broccoli with this sauce, or [...]
No-BS Broccoli Soup
February 22, 2012 – 11:07 am
Vegetable soup is often overloaded with salt, creams, flour (or other thickening agents), and irrelevant broths, when scaling back and keeping the recipe as simple as possible is often the more delicious, creamier and vegetable-done-justice option! For this recipe there are just three main ingredients: broccoli, onion, and garlic…but only one of those is the [...]
Sea of Broccoli
February 20, 2012 – 10:37 am
Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables when cooked. I struggle with it raw, as it comes off as too crunchy and plastic-like.
