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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have a recipe to share that is going to sass up your week. In Michigan and many other “cold weather” states in the US, we are enjoying the tail end of our fresh produce season with locally grown veggies and fruits. There are of course hoop house and greenhouse options, but our […]

A month ago at a networking event event I drank a few glasses of wine and told the President of the Chamber of Commerce that I was a vegan caterer. What? The following day she told the owner of the coolest glass blowing school in town that I was a vegan caterer. A few days […]

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 […]
