The Latest
Welcome…
I’m Erin O’Bryan
My goal is to share my vegan, ranch experience (yes, it’s a bit of an oxymoron I know) and the recipes I create AND LIKE. Hopefully you like them too. And to share some of the wacky things that go down on the ranch. This city girl is constantly amazed, humbled and often grossed out. But determined to make a go of my new life. As my mother always said, “Nothing worth doin’ is ever easy, honey”. Ain’t that the truth?!
Easy Vegan Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Yes, there are only 3 ingredients in this "recipe" and you don't really need anyone to tell you how to make these little balls of deliciousness, BUT, I have a few tips to make them easy & successful every time. Ingredients: 8 ounces quality chocolate, the darker...
Easy Vegan Polenta with Mushrooms
This is the latest in my Easy Vegan series. Two pans, but still super easy. Caution: This is so darn good it will cause you to overeat!!! Serves 4. Ingredients: 1 tube of polenta (I like Trader Joes' brand, if you can get it - very clean and vegan) 2 8...
Easy Vegan Broccoli Soup
It took me longer to make that picture fancy than it did to make this soup - and the soup is a lot better! (I'm still working on my "photography/making my blog photos pretty" skills. But I probably didn't need to tell you that.) Takes about 15 minutes to make &...
How a Mandoline Changed my Life
If you don't have one of these babies in your kitchen, you really gotta get one. For 15 bucks you will save oodles of time slicing (julienne-ing) your veggies. It has this adjustable blade so you can vary the thickness of your slices with one little...
Easy Vegan Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry
I'm all about making healthful cooking easy, because if it isn't easy, we all end up in the drive-thru somewhere picking up dinner on the go, right? So I'm going to be adding some fast & easy recipes with very few photos so you can just see it, make it, eat it...
Pumpkin Spice Bread (V, GF of course!)
Everywhere I go I am bombarded with pumpkin spice this and pumpkin spice that. None of which is ever vegan or gluten free, and especially not both! So I decided to get cooking and make my own. I also tried to lower the sugar level that's usually...
The tomatoes are coming…finally!
I planted so late this year that I am in a race to harvest all these beauties before it starts to cool off. I see a lot of tomato recipes in my blogging future. Hmm, garden ratatouille, creamy cream-free tomato soup, lots of sauces, tomato & watermelon salad, the...
Protein Packed Shake
Lately, there's nothing I love more than the combo of almond butter and bananas. It's so decadent and creamy that it tricks my taste buds into thinking I'm indulging in dessert and leaves me less likely to reach into the cookie jar later. This smoothie not only tastes...
