8/1 Food Fit For An Olympian

Happy Olympics! I love the Olympics like I love eating vegan ice cream and going on vacation. In order to watch them we had to buy a converter box for our old television  because we have not had tv for years. It has been worth bringing the equivalent of a broadcast  tower into our living […]

6/6 Spring Peas and Scapes

The peas are the star in this dish. Each ingredient was chosen for its willingness to honor and glorify the Spring Pea. This dish is light and airy with the authority of a complete meal. I think you are going to love this with any type of pea…fresh or frozen. Have a delicious day.

5/16 Shaved Brussels w/ Peaches and Almonds

I love Brussel sprouts. I love their hearty texture and pungent flavor. I really like the huge stalk they grow on and that they look like miniature cabbage. It seems like they are a polarizing edible, either you are a lover of the Brussel or an adversary. This dish could bring you to the dark side […]

3/28 Parsley Cashew Pesto

Sometimes I crave green food. This seems implied from someone living a vegan lifestyle but it really isn’t. When I came home from work last night feeling dejected and sulky,  I polished off a bag of pita chips then fell into a deep carbohydrate induced nap. When I woke up several hours later I had […]

11/15 Ambercup Squash Tostadas

I have found that my desire for fresh cooked squash is frequently stifled by my lack of  desire to prep the squash. Most winter squash varieties require  a chain saw to cut and cube. Sometimes it is more of a commitment than I want to make for a meal. Photo By: S. Duquet So, yesterday […]

11/7 Happy Meatless Monday-Orange, Fennel, Beet Salad

Photo By: S. Duquet Happy Meatless Monday. I have been curious about fennel. People that like it really seem to like it. It is more exotic than ordinary and I find its flavor kind of aggressive in a sexy way. With its bizarre looks and piquant attitude,  fennel is definitely the mysterious guest at the […]

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. […]

10/10 The Leftover Diner

Happy Meatless Monday. In honor of Canadian Thanksgiving, I have used Canada’s Meatless Monday logo. If I were celebrating Thanksgiving today I would want a heaping plate of all things veg,  so I could truly give thanks for my body, my health and the amazing vitality and peace of mind that comes with eating a […]
