Thank you for all your recipes and inspiration! If you have time this winter, I would love to see either a compilation of Dutch Oven recipes or even a spotlight on best uses and ideas for one. I’ve already convinced myself to get one, it would just be a wonderful reference to have some consolidated direction/recipes to reference.
I can’t wait to make the gluten-free cinnamon rolls! Thank you for developing and sharing delicious vegan gluten-free recipes! Your hard work is appreciated.
How awesome it would be to have your recipes in an app !!!! 🙏🏻
So excited about trying those recipes. You are my one and only recipe source now. Huge thanks for all your hard work. ❤️
I am looking forward to making some of these recipes. I am especially interested in the lentil and black bean recipes. I’m certain they will hit the spot on any cold night. Thanks for sharing.
I made the Roasted Sweet Potato Tofu Hash and loved it but I substituted Maple Syrup for the sugar. Really added an incredible glaze.
Your format reads “Make the Recipe”. One writes a recipe, reads a recipe, follows a recipe. Your readers don’t want to make the recipe, but the dish. You really need a good editor. Contact me if you want to explore.

Another MB cookbook would be great, but would you please use a larger font size? I love your first book but have to use a magnifying glass to read it.
We’ll keep that in mind!

I think the blog reads perfectly fine without your “really good editing” Elizabeth.

Is there any way to get an eBook of these recipes? Just curious…
Not at the moment but thanks for the request! We’ll consider that in the future.
