Happy Meatless Monday friends. Today it was a high of 18 degrees in my Michigan town. The wind was howling and snow kept falling. Time for a warm dessert. I wanted to warm fruit, both fresh and dried and so I created this winter fruit bake. To celebrate the fruit I left the bake naked then topped it with a […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have four recipes to share for an unforgettable Thai inspired meal. The recipes come with a side dish of vegan undercover activism. In September, Sandy and I helped with a fundraiser for our local animal shelter. The event, called No Beast Feast, created by our friend and fellow veg lover Jo, […]

Happy Meatless Monday. One of my favorite meatless meals is soup and a sandwich. I love it for lunch and I especially love if for dinner. It feels as special or scandalous as having breakfast at dinner time. A steaming bowl of soup and a sammy feels comforting and familiar to me. An excellent companion […]

Happy Meatless Monday. This week I want to rock meatless in a vintage way so I am starting us off with a dish that any child of the seventies will have heard of, Turkey Divan. When I was little, my mom used to make Turkey Divan. It was a concoction of turkey and copious amounts […]

Happy Meatless Monday. It is officially cold in Michigan, so I’m ready for comfort food. There was frost worthy of scraping on my windshield this morning. This week we are going Glamping (glamour camping in an RV) for the first time ever. A crazy, adventuresome and generous friend of ours rented a 30 foot RV […]

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods. They are overachievers in that they can be both sweet and savory, decadent and healing. They are bright orange, signifying that they contain an abundance of nutrients and they are so inexpensive. I enjoy them for breakfast in my muffins and for dinner in my lasagna. They […]

Happy Meatless Monday. In July I shared that I had found a new vegan dog food by Halo pet foods. Here is a link to the original post. In the past I had given quite a bit of thought to switching Chloe to a vegan diet but frankly, was nervous. I don’t know anything about […]

Happy Meatless Monday. Every time I use my Crock-pot I marvel at how much it feels like magic. I put in a bunch of liquid, seasonings and raw food, secure the lid, then leave it alone for several hours as it lovingly creates a gourmet meal. Nothing can make meatless, weeknight meals easier than a […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I love breakfast. Breakfast welcomes you to the day, it energizes your sleepy body and feeds your brain so you can be inspired and effective. One of the most common questions I have heard since becoming vegan has been, “If you don’t eat eggs, then what do you eat for breakfast?” It is […]
