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 […]

10/14 GMO Labeling Petition

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 […]

10/13 Double Dark Chocolate a l’Orange Cookies

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 […]

10/12 Soy Happy

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.

10/11 Seasonal Slaw with Caramelized Honey Crisp Apples

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 […]

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 […]

10/8 Fine in Moderation

I found a video floating around Facebook yesterday and it made me laugh out loud. It is a parody of one of the High Fructose Corn Syrup touting  commercials launched by the Corn Refiners Association. You know the one where one mommy calls out another over pouring her children glasses of pink liquid made with […]

10/7 Pecan Buckwheat Waffles w/ Maple Pears

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 […]

10/5 Buttermilk Dill Pepper Biscuits

Over the weekend as we were creating the menu for our Meatless Monday Meals to go, I came across  an old recipe that I had clipped out of a magazine for Buttermilk Dill Pepper biscuits.  They sounded like the perfect accompaniment for the Autumnal Butternut Bean Stew, and they would be easy enough to veganize. […]
