If there is one dinner I can count on making my family do a happy jig, it’s beet burgers. So this is just a quick little write up of the Bulgur + Beet Burger I posted a couple posts back because everyone should experience a meal that makes them do a happy dance! It’s a […]

Food Inspo: Portobello Mushroom Steak
Let me preface first with that I’m the furthest thing from a mushroom person. I pick them out of everything, I just can’t handle the texture. My friend Mary of Nom Yourself insisted she could make a portobello steak that even I could make. We never got around to that challenge so I took it […]
Garam Masala Crusted Tofu with Curry
The flavors of India have to be some of my favorites – so warm and fragrant. I love a blend of these Ayurvedic seasonings on everything from roasted cauliflower to Indian street tacos. I really enjoyed it just as much on this encrusted tofu which we served with quinoa and a vegetable curry. Although basmati […]
Food Inspo: Oil-free Baked Falafel Bites
I love falafel but it can often feel a bit heavy and not leaving me feeling my best. This oil-free, baked version is one of our favorite recipes from the Oh She Glows cookbook. I’ve probably made more recipes from this book than any other, definitely worth the very small investment.
Food Inspo: Pulled BBQ Carrot Sandwiches
I’m not sure if this qualifies as food inspo or a recipe because there isn’t much of recipe to begin with. But when you’re a (now vegan) BBQ girl such as myself, you don’t do without, you innovate! Buy a bag of pre-julienned carrots, or julienne them yourself, buy your favorite vegan BBQ sauce, some […]
Food Inspo: Tex-Mex Casserole
Another great recipe coming from the Oh She Glows, it’s called the Crowd Pleasing Tex-Mex casserole for a reason!
Food Inspo: Carrot Dogs & Baked Beans
File this under things I never thought I’d say before I was vegan: but you don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve had a carrot dog. Marinated and grilled carrots mimic the taste and texture without the mystery meat and cancer causing ingredients of regular hot dogs. There are many commercially made vegan-friendly hot dogs on […]
Food Inspo: (t)BLT club Sandwich – Vegan
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 […]
Food Inspo: Grilled Asparagus and Pink Rice Spring Tacos
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 […]
Vegan Mac & Cheese Sauce
Give this cruelty-free cheese sauce a try. It’s perfect over pasta, potatoes, you can spice it up with chili powder, cayenne, and jalapeno for nachos or use as a dip for your favorite raw vegetables and soft pretzels. It makes about 4 cups so you will have extra, let me know what creative uses you […]
