Ricotta Fig Crumb Cake
A tad refined and a touch rustic, this crumb cake is a special, yet simple and satisfying, start to any day. Coffee or a chai tea latte is the perfect accompaniment to this not-too-sweet morning confection. Vegan buttermilk and Tofutti Better Than Ricotta Cheese lend a tangy tenderness to this moist cake while fresh fruit guilds the lily. Prepare your version with coriander or cinnamon, though coriander is our choice for its subtle lemony notes. And while figs and pistachios have enjoyed a long and happy marriage in the Middle East, if another nut is more to your liking, by all means substitute your favorite.
Cheesy Tomato Pasta
A dairy version of this dish using feta cheese once went viral. But we like it best with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese better. Roasting the cheese with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme for 35 virtually hands-free minutes renders a creamy and tangy rustic sauce this is elegant enough for company and crowd-pleasing enough for the kids. If you use pasta rather than spiralized vegetable “noodles,” this recipe requires two dishes, but who’s counting? It will be worth it regardless.
Everything Bagel Pot Pie
There’s not a thing wrong with a plain ‘ole pot pie. But once you try this version whose filling is the creamiest with just a hint of tang and whose crust is the most tender and flaky courtesy biscuits masquerading as Everything Bagels, plain ‘ole just may not be quite as satisfying. Baking the biscuits separately and arranging them on top of the filling before serving insures crusty bottoms. Sound labor intensive? Not necessarily! If you choose, you can make this warm and comforting dish in a flash with canned biscuits, frozen vegetables, and canned potatoes. Your secret will be safe.
