I just found one of your recipes on Pinterest. Everything looks delicious! I can't wait to spend the summer trying new recipes from your blog! Thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristie! Thanks so much for your kind words! So awesome you're going to try some recipes this summer. I LOVE hearing people get excited about food :) Enjoy, enjoy!! Would love to hear which ones you try if you get the chance. Take care!
DeleteI found you through pinterest too and am LOVING your recipes! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHey there Thompson Fam! So glad to have you here! Hope you keep enjoying the recipes :)
DeleteFor the last two weeks you're my go-to site for vegan meals. I've tried three AMAZING meals and have a long line of meals waiting to be made as I work my way down my list lol. Your website is now bookmarked. THANK YOU! The only problem is that your dishes are SO good that I want to keep making the ones I've already made, but then I won't be able to make new ones ... do you see the conundrum you've put me into?!?!?! Sigh ... ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia! Haha, what a great problem to have! ;) Thank you so much for your sweet comments! SO happy you're finding recipes here you like! I absolutely love hearing people get excited about the food :) I hope you continue to enjoy any other ones you try!!
DeleteJust found your Blog and I'm so excited to try some of you recipes!!! My husband and I are choosing a Vegan lifestyle. Thank you for sharing you recipes!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryle!! Makes my day to hear people so excited about the recipes! Glad they'll help you on your vegan journey. I hope you enjoy all the recipes you try - would love to hear how it goes! Have fun with it! :)
DeleteKaitlin, thank you so much for these recipes! I have tried 4 of them in the past 2 weeks and they have been an absolute hit with veg and meat eaters alike! I also appreciate that they aren't time consuming recipes. Thank you again and I look forward to trying more of your concoctions!
ReplyDeleteHi Lily! Oh YAY! Thanks for taking the time to leave a message. Makes my day to hear the recipes being enjoyed (especially between herbivores and carnivores alike!) I've got a little kiddo to chase around all day so come meal time, I definitely need quick and easy recipes :) Hope you continue to enjoy any other recipes you try here! Thanks again Lily!!
DeleteThe cilantro dressing was absolutely delicious! I added a couple of Tablespoons of nonfat yogurt and 3/4 of an avocado. Thanks for this fabulous recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi there! You're welcome - so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know!
DeleteHi Kaitlin! I just saw one of your recipes in Pinterest and now I am here in love with your website. I can't wait to try your recipes. I have recently decided to take a break from meat and your website will be of a great help! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Carolina! Aww, so sweet :) That's awesome to hear you're enjoying the site. I hope you find some recipes you like! Would love to hear which ones you try out. Best of luck with your break from meat - have fun exploring other foods!! Take care!
DeleteI just found your recipe for the Cilantro Lime Dressing from 2013. I saw a multitude of comments but I see the recipe on the printer friendly and the blog page differ. Which combination do you now use for the best cilantro lime dressing? Thanks, Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! THANK YOU so much for your comment - I just updated the print-out!! :) I became vegan after I originally posted this recipe, so I initially used greek yogurt but always use avocado for the dressing now. It's so customizable which is what I love! Thanks for pointing that out, I really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy it if you give it a whirl! :)
DeleteI just found your blog and LOVE the recipes! Can't wait to start trying them :)
ReplyDeleteHello Kaitlin
ReplyDeleteI have just found your blog and I am over the moon! I love veggies, but they often go bad in my refrigerator because I lack vision for them. Thank you for your beautiful, yet simple recipes.
A full time, stay at home, home schooling mom like me needs all the help she can get!
Could you provide the calorie content for these recipes?
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Due to the many variables, I don't provide nutritional stats on the site. But if you'd like to calculate your own you can try this website:
Deletehttp://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php
I've heard it's pretty straightforward and easy to use. Hope that helps! :)
want to print alot of these is that possible??
ReplyDeletepaula
Hi Paula! Yes! There's a "printer friendly version" at the bottom of each recipe, right below the directions. It will take you to a page where you can click the print button :)
DeleteI found your website on Pinterest last week and LOVE IT! It is very well done and easy to maneuver. I especially like that the salad recipes are printable to one page, and your photos show the ingredients before they are mixed together. I can see how really simple they are after all, and no need to fret about cooking.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be a great cook, but I just didn't get that gene. I have no kitchen imagination (and we have no kids), so my Husband does most of the cooking and I am "cleanup detail". I figure - if he will eat it, then that's the trick anyway, right? I sure hope he'll like garbanzos and black beans!
I'm also excited to try Matcha, and learned everything from your website. Thank you for (finally) some really useful information.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet message! Thrilled to hear you're enjoying the site :) I definitely love simple recipes that are full of flavor!! Keep me updated on the recipes you try if you get the chance. So fun to hear you're going to give matcha a try too!! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions! :) Take care!
DeleteThanks for responding to my comment! As a matter of fact I did try a couple of your colorful salads for relatives and they loved them! I prefer cold food in the summer since its plenty hot in Georgia! My first experience with cooking quinoa, and loved your recipe for the super salad! But then, you can't go wrong with avocados either! I did learn to fold them in last or they won't stay cubed.
ReplyDeleteI have also been "spiralizing" my cucumbers and zucchini with my new Veggeti Pro (basically a fancy apple slicer). It makes thin spaghetti type noodles (and has other ribbon blades, etc.) that dress up a plate and you can eat raw or sauté. HOW FUN - and you were my inspiration!
Also, I recently discovered dehydrated OKRA and want to try this with green beans, squash and zuchs (most were at 130 degrees for 6-8 hours). Maybe this could be another segment of your website?
So glad you and your relatives have been enjoying the salads! I agree - they're so refreshing in the summer (especially down in that southern heat - whew!) ;) That Veggeti Pro sounds awesome! I've yet to try spiralizing but it's becoming so popular now, and I know I'd love it. Will definitely try it out soon, thanks for the motivation! Loved reading all your thoughts - thanks for taking the time to write! Have a lovely week and stay cool down there! :)
DeleteHere is the Amazon link for my Veggeti Pro if you're interested. I tried the small "hourglass" shaped spiralizer (basically an old-school pencil sharpener for veggies), but it didn't feel safe to hold. After a little more research, this was my favorite:

I'm also about to place my first order for matcha from Encha.com per your recommendation! We have a NutriBullet 900w and I'm making "compost smoothies" of leftover veggies and can add the dry matcha. Hubby loves the NB for fruit drinks, but I'm cravings GREENS!
Awesome!! Thanks for the link :) Let me know how the matcha goes!!!!
DeleteHello, I just made your Southwestern Chopped Salad for our Fourth of July barbecue and am really looking forward to it. For myself and my health conscious friends, we would like the nutritional information for this salad starting with serving size. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy! Hope you enjoyed the salad at your BBQ!! :) Due to the many variables, I don't provide nutritional stats on the site. But if you'd like to calculate your own you can try this website:

Hi, I love this site. Garden Grazer, Kaitlin, you have the best, most colorful and healthy recipes I have seen on Pinterest. Thanks for all your hard work, but it seems like you love it too!! Thank you!! :)
ReplyDeleteLori
Aww, what a sweet compliment - thanks so much!! I do love it!!! It's so much fun to be able to share all these recipes :) Thrilled to hear you're enjoying the site Lori!
DeleteI came across your site a few months ago in my quest to find more Vegan friendly meals for kids! I would have to say it has been a huge blessing to me in my life! Thanks for sharing your talents! I LOVE everything you have on here!
ReplyDeleteThat makes my heart smile! Thanks for your kind words and taking the time to comment :) SO glad you're finding recipes for your sweet family to enjoy. Yay for happy kiddos at meal time! ;) Hope you continue to enjoy them. Wishing you a wonderful week, Smith family!
DeleteJust wanted to say that your recipes are delicious and my body feels so much better eating this way! Thanks for doing what you do!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelsee! Absolutely thrilled to hear you're enjoying the recipes! I feel so much better eating this way too - isn't food powerful and amazing!? Thanks for the encouragement and kind words, it's very appreciated :) Have a great weekend!
DeleteI found one of your recipes on Pinterest, and I became entranced with your website and blog. And special thanks for introducing me to matcha! I wondered what it was, but couldn't try any of the bottled matcha drinks in the stores, because none of them were kosher. (I'm a kosher vegan.) I have already ordered a whisk, scoop, and organic matcha from encha.com. I also signed up for your blog and am looking forward to further exploring your website and pinterest boards. Thanks for everything! Devora K
ReplyDeleteAww, hi Devora! I loved reading your comment, thanks so much for the sweet message :) SO excited you ordered matcha!!! Let me know if you have any questions. And I truly hope you enjoy any recipes you try! Wishing you a lovely week!
DeleteHi Kaitlin. I really love your site and your recipes. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could tell me what you do about vitamin B12. I read from multiple sources that it is the one thing vegans must make sure they get enough of as it is not found in plants (it is found in animal products only because animals eat unwashed plants which still contain the vitamin B12 bacteria). Do you take supplements or choose non-dairy milks fortified with vitamin B12? Or perhaps something else?
I look forward to learning from you.
Thanks a lot and happy holidays!
Hi again!! :) Thanks so much for your kind words. It warms my heart to hear people so excited about the recipes! As far as B12, I try to do both a supplement (most days a week) and work in non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, cereal, etc - there's actually quite a few B12 fortified foods now. Though a disclaimer: I'm definitely not a medical professional and this is just what I personally do :) I hope that helps a little! Wishing you a very happy, peaceful holiday as well!!
DeleteHi Kaitlin, I made your Fiesta Bean Salad before and both me and my husband love it. How many people does it serve? It's been awhile since I made. I am making for 12 women so need to know how much. Thank you. Danyne
ReplyDeleteHi Danyne! I'm so glad you both loved it! You could get by with a single batch if there are other dishes and people are taking a small amount. Otherwise, go ahead and double it - leftovers are always good if you have extra! ;)
DeleteThank you. I did double it with the same thoughts. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kaitlyn
ReplyDeleteCan't seem to find what your vegetable stock consists of! Do you make it or is it store bought?
Thank you.
Hi Cathie! Sorry for the delay (we just made a cross country move and are slowly getting settled in) :) I actually buy Trader Joe's organic veggie broth which I love! I've never made my own but definitely need to try it - I'm sure with most things, you just can't beat homemade ;)
DeleteHow Kaitlyn
ReplyDeleteHave only just discovered your wonderful site. I have been vegetarian for 35 years and I'm always looking for new recipes and ideas. Thank you so much for posting here - it's a real God send for me!
Hi again :) Thanks so much for taking the time to share your kind words - they always encourage me to keep going! It's fun to hear you're enjoying the site and I love that you've been vegetarian for so long!! Have a beautiful week Cathie!
DeleteOh my GOODNESS! I'm so grateful to have found your website. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tina! Aww I'm so happy you're excited about the site - thanks for your sweet message :) Truly hope you enjoy the recipes! Have a great weekend!
DeleteThank you so much for posting these! I love the photos, and can't wait to try them :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! Thanks for stopping by - hope you enjoy the recipes!! <3
DeleteI have a Big question:how about your B12 vitamin. I want yo be vegan too, but I'm scared of my B 12. That's why I only eat fish. I from Colombia and I fell in love with your recipes. I need to improve my English. So, that website will be so interesting. Thanks, waiting for your answer.
