I have a special treat for you today- a guest post from one of my favourite blogging duos- Ashley and Stephen from (never home)maker! I fell in love with their drool-worthy recipes, beautiful photography, and enthusiasm for running just over a year ago and I’ve been hooked on their blog ever since. I hope you enjoy the post!
P.S.- I’m making these stat!!
Angela
Hey, everyone! We’re Ashley and Stephen from (never home)maker. Though we initially started our site as a food blog, it’s evolved and shifted over the years to share focus with fitness (specifically running), photography, everyday life, and now our expanding family (Ashley’s due with our baby girl, who we affectionately call Pequeña, in late November). Still, we don’t just eat to live. Good, healthy food is one of our biggest passions . . .
We’re thrilled to share with you five of our favorite vegan recipes from our blog. And though we have in recent years become vegetarian (Stephen now enjoys seafood on occasion), we always have the most fun in the kitchen crafting healthy vegan meals and desserts.
CURRIED AVOCADO SOUP
We made this Curried Avocado Soup a couple weeks ago. Though we’re both not usually keen on chilled soups — they don’t fill us up — this one is as creamy as it is tasty. It’s a perfect summer meal on its own… or as a starter to a picnic dinner.
BLACK BEAN-SPINACH BURGERS
Non-meat eaters may miss out on traditional summer grilling, but that doesn’t need to keep us from getting our fill. These Black Bean-Spinach Burgers are full of protein and greens — just waiting to be slathered with ketchup and mustard.
PEANUT NOODLE BOWL
We’re rarely dissatisfied when we add coconut milk and peanut butter to a simple veggie dish. This Peanut Noodle Bowl is no exception, of course. Best of all, it’s great served hot or cold!
SUMMER ROLLS
We owe the success of this refreshing Summer Roll recipe to my dear friend Meg. She recreated a restaurant favorite (pictured unrolled here so you can see all the goodness inside) back when we were in college. We still make it often — over 6 years later.
VEGAN PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIPPERS
And no favorites list would be complete with our all-time favorite vegan cookie recipe. These Pecan Chocolate Chippers, at least in Ashley’s humble opinion, have a perfect crisp-but-soft-and-gooey texture. We make them at least once every couple weeks — even more often now that Ashley craves them all the time.
We’d like to thank Angela for the opportunity to share these recipes with you all. Oh She Glows has been a great source of inspiration for us over the years — most notably teaching us the pure wonder that is a green monster. We’re hooked and never looking back.
If you’d like to read more from us, feel free to stop by (never home)maker for more vegan recipes, tips on running, and other fun stuff. And our new-ish family site, (never home)maker, baby!, is the place to go for pregnancy updates as we anxiously await our little girl’s arrival.

Mmm.. I am not a chilled soup fan either, but I need to give this avocado soup a try!

Mmmmm that peanut noodle bowl is calling my name…
Just saying….

Ahh thanks so much for sharing this! SO good to know blogs I have not yet discovered! And their spinach burger looks to die for. Just like you, always looking for new veggie burgers to add to the arsenal!
Gosh, that summer roll and vegan pecan chocolate chip cookies look amazing! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us! =)
Love their sites!
Lahhhhve! They live near me in Upstate NY so I love reading about them!!! These recipes are daaaa best. Peanut noodles happening this weekend.
Definitely trying the black bean spinach burgers!!
I love your blog! I’ve been an avid reader, but a not so common commmenter.
Great recipes, and congrats on the baby.. so exciting :)
I’ve made the black bean and spinach burgers many times, and they are probably our favorite veggie burgers. I can’t wait to make the noodle bowl, and the spring rolls. I’ve never really liked cold soups, for texture reasons, but that does look really good.
So fun to see you two here! I’m always inspired by your recipe creations.
Yum. Love NHM and NHMB and all these recipes look great, but I’m so shocked that I’ve never seen that cookie recipe before. Those look amazing, going to check them out now :D
You guys seem like such a sweet team!! :D And like everyone said, these truly do look delicious!
Thanks, everyone, for all your sweet comments! We dug deep into our archives for these recipes, and I’d truly say they are some of the best of the best of what we have for vegan foods. Let us know if you try something out! And thanks again to Angela! You’re awesome, girl!
Thanks guys! Anytime :)
Those peanut noodles and cookies look absolutely divine!
