This is a re-make of my grandma’s original tomato basil soup recipe, but I’ve made a few changes here and there to make it both easier and healthier.  If she were still with us today, I think she’d be really proud of it!  Best served with a grilled cheese sandwich and a warm cup of [...]

In The Netherlands, the Dutch celebrate St. Nichols Day, which is their equivalent of Christmas.  There are many awesome Dutch recipes out there, but unfortunately most of them involve some kind of meat or dairy.  However, these tasty little apple fritters are totally vegan and every bite is delicious.
