10/31 Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween and a very scary Meatless Monday. I love Halloween and I really love passing out candy. This is our second year of handing out vegan treats and it feels fantastic to infuse the tradition with compassion by passing out candy without animal products in it. Better for the kids and all living things. […]

10/29 Suddenly Salad and Enter to Win

Convenience is a critical part of any meal plan. If I can replicate it or make it in a brisk amount of time, I will try. I think  that is the reason Broccoli Slaw was invented. It was created by busy people that wanted to eat well on a budget with the opportunity to bust […]

10/26 Cinnamon Scented Cayenne Cornbread

A few days ago I posted a green chili cornbread recipe.  It was my first foray into vegan cornbread. The flavor was mild and pretty delish. I am definitely a cornbread lover. I admire it for its ability to accept other flavors and textures, like a blank slate for creativity. Just throw it in and […]

10/24 Happy Meatless Monday

Happy Meatless Monday my friends. Many times when  someone finds out that I am vegan they feel compelled to tell me,” I would be vegan if I didn’t have to give up……fill in the blank.”I have found that blank is usually cheese.  Its funny because after a year and a half of hearing that, I […]

The standard centerpiece for most families is a turkey, complete with all the trimmings. I’ve been vegetarian for 14 […]

I added a […]
