This Sloppy Joe variation can be as spicy or mild as you’d like. If your family members aren’t fans of spicy dishes, use less hot sauce or use a milder sauce in its place.

This quick frittata is one of the most requested dishes in my household. It can easily have countless variations by using seasonal vegetables from your local farmer’s market in place of the ones listed. Try shredded kale instead of asparagus and zucchini in place of the carrot for a fun twist or try adding minced red pepper for a dash of color.

These cookies are a cinch to throw together, and bake up chewy, chocolatey, and golden. They’re also just dandy if you’re craving raw cookie dough and want to indulge in a snap. I developed this recipe because my guy loves peanut butter and I love coconut, but neither of us are super fond of the other’s preference. Both flavors are detectable, but not overpowering. The peanut butter gives a savory richness and the coconut gives a sweet, buttery essence to the cookie. They live in harmony and still let the chocolate shine. Good times, I say, when you can compromise on sweets. Recipe and photo contributed by Ashlee Piper, from The Little Foxes. Read More→

Here’s something a little creamy, a little sweet, and easy to pair with nearly anything. Behold, shockingly simple, pretty, sumptuous sweet vegan ricotta. This spread pairs beautifully when slathered on crackers or toast, crowns fruit in a gorgeous way, adds oomph to baking recipes, and is a creamy, dreamy topping for oatmeal and granola. I like
mine nestled between french toast and marmalade.
A small dish of this is an elegant addition to any brunch
table or party (when paired with fruit and sweet biscuits for dipping). Making a strawberry shortcake? You’re gonna need this. Extra perk: I’ve made this before for kiddos and they lap it up. And since there are no processed sugars, grains, or gluten, it’s a sweet treat everyone can feel nice about. Recipe and photo contributed by Ashlee Piper, from The Little Foxes. Read More→

When author Brian Patton (aka The Sexy Vegan) began dating his soon-to-be wife, he offered to entertain her with Friday night happy hours at her apartment or his. After a long workweek, she was ready to kick back and enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine, and it was the perfect way to enjoy summer evenings. After a couple weeks, these evenings weren’t just for two because her friends begged for invitations after hearing rave reviews of Brian’s delicious tapas and appetizers.
This Little Macs recipe is from the book’s The Happiest Meal Happy Hour Menu that also includes a recipe for Baked Sweet Potato “Fries” with Adobo Dipping Sauce.
