I often had reoccurring dreams of a breakfast I once had during a trip to Philly at the Vegan Commissary that I just never took the time to try to recreate at home involving hollandaise sauce – vegan, of course. It was my first experience with the sauce because traditionally it was served over runny […]

Food Inspo: TUSCAN BEAN, FENNEL & SAUSAGE SOUP [link to recipe]
Oh my, this soup is everything. I can’t think of a more comforting combo for a cold winter’s day than bean and vegan sausage and such a wonderful mix of flavors like fennel and sundried tomatoes, a slight nod to my Italian heritage. This comes from the kitchen of Compassionate Cuisine, the culinary program from Catskill Animal […]
Food Inspo: Choco-Cherry Nicecream
I’ve mentioned before, and you are most likely are already aware, but by throwing frozen banana slices into a food processor, it will turn into a soft serve ice cream made from just that one ingredient. Delicious as is, but don’t stop there! Mix in some cacao or cocoa powder and frozen cherries, maybe a […]

Food Inspo: No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Cake with Cookie Crust [link to recipe]
This was my version of the gluten-free cake by Call Me Cupcake. I modified it a bit and made the filling with chocolate hazelnut and used an oreo-like crust with vegan Newman-O’s. It was as good as it sounds, quite the hit! Someday I plan to write out the exact steps for my modified version but […]
Food Insp: Avocado Toast and Sausage
You can’t go a day on Instagram without seeing someone’s take on the glorious avocado toast. It’s something that comes together in a pinch but feels so much fancier than the effort would otherwise imply. Toppings are endless and you can slice and fan it or mash it. But I highly recommend serving it with […]
