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 […]

It’s nearing the launch of the holiday season as Thanksgiving is only a month away. For many, this November dinner feast is the initial family gathering, kicking off festivities that are centered around food and traditions. The standard centerpiece for most families is a turkey, complete with all the trimmings. I’ve been vegetarian for 14 […]

This is the double delicious leftover recipe from yesterday’s squash risotto. What could be better than a simple, e-z to create vegan meal that loves you back twice? I took a portion of the squash risotto from last night and made it into a second dish that took only minutes to prepare. I added a […]

I found this recipe while leafing through Good Housekeeping magazine. It is a two for one. You take the left-overs (if there are any) and make something equally as amazing, yet totally different with them. The first recipe is for a low maintenance risotto. You don’t have to babysit or fuss over it because it […]

Cornbread is divine. I like it sweet and I also like it savory. I like it with melted vegan butter and I also like it plain. Shaped like a muffin or in a tantalizing triangular slice…it is the right addition to any soup, chili or stew. This was my first attempt at veganizing cornbread from scratch. […]

In the past week, I’ve been hearing a lot about the GMO labeling petition. I’ve seen several email alerts, read on sites and heard people talking about the petition to ask the Food and Drug Administration to require labeling of genetically modified foods. There are several hundred organizations that have joined forces to promote the […]

Soy Happy is an organization that is dedicated to bringing vegetarian fare to large mainstream venues. They have been instrumental in bringing veg fare to MLB parks all across the country and are now setting their sites on the NFL. My friends at Soy Happy believe as I do that if you offer it, people […]

One of the important aspects of helping to share vegan dishes with friends and family is to create flavor and food experiences that are similar to their non-vegan counterparts. Even if the flavor or texture is a bit different from what someone might typically recognize, I believe that getting them close enough to a known […]

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 […]

Most days (every single day) I wake up hungry and ready to break the fast. I hunger for serious nourishment. Not a banana in the KIA on my way to work kind of thing, but something I can eat with a utensil that requires more attention than a Pop-tart. Time is always valuable and usually […]
