It’s not Thanksgiving without Crispy Roasted Potatoes! This is an incredibly popular recipe on my blog because they contain no oil but taste just as good as the regular oily version!

VEGAN SPANAKOPITA

My take on the great Greek spinach and feta pie! Featuring shatteringly crisp phyllo pastry, and a soft, salty, feta-cheesy, spinachy filling, all baked up to golden perfection. Comfort food at it’s finest.
