Just a few years ago, I only knew how to do two things in the kitchen: preheat an oven for frozen pizza and whip up the best boxed macaroni and cheese. I could combine that pasta with the orange powdered concoction like nobody’s business. But I recently remembered a time back then that I had […]
Tofu, man. My relationship with the stuff has done a 180 over the years. It was one of those things that during my pre-vegan days, I just couldn’t stomach the texture, even if it was crispy fried or small unnoticeable bits in something like Pad Thai. I think a good portion of that was due […]
You’ll quickly notice a theme with my smoothies, and that they are all remakes of really decadent desserts. I have a sweet tooth that just won’t quit so I found a loophole to satisfy those cravings without feeling terrible immediately afterwards, both physically and mentally. I find this one reminds me of brownie batter right […]
One of my favorite sandwiches, a (t)BLT club. Tempeh Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato with vegan mayo on toast. Tempeh bacon has zero cholesterol and just a couple grams of fat unlike animal flesh bacon. I posted a list of my favorite vegan convenient foods and staples, like this tempeh bacon from the Tofurky company, These […]
Have you tried coconut bacon? If not, I recommend not putting it off any longer and head over to Fettle Vegan for the recipe. But be warned, it’s addictive! We love to top loaded baked potatoes with ours but the uses are endless.
If you have a spiralizer, than you already know about the joy that are zoodles! Long, thin strips of zucchini make a light and healthy replacement for regular pasta. You can eat the zoodles raw or here they are lightly cooked in a little oil and garlic, topped with a “bolognese” sauce made from lentils […]
When we had left over mac & cheese sauce, my husband said “this would go great with soft pretzels”, I knew just where to look. The pretzels are what dreams are made of, check out Slow Club Cookery for the recipe. My cheese sauce recipe can be found here and works great for pretzels, over pasta, or […]
When I first went Vegan, I had a strong aversion to vegan cheese and meat alternatives. I was already a bit of a picky eater with texture issues and I couldn’t get near the majority of vegan convenience items. I was more than happy to continue on as a Vegan without the the convenient plant-based […]
As an avid chocolate lover, I was surprised to learn that Key Lime pie quickly became my new favorite dessert after the first bite. I remember that moment well, it was during a vacation with my then boyfriend turned husband in the Florida Keys. I know, so cliche but it was because of that cliche […]
I love to throw things into a tortilla, call it a taco, and hope it works. I find when you call it a taco, it always works. Inspired by Slow Club Cookery’s spring tacos: grilled asparagus, zucchini, quick pickled purple cabbage, radish, Madagascar pink rice and a creamy lemony-dill dressing. What taco creations will you come […]
