I am sure you have guessed by now…we love to cook. But one thing we love more than cooking is simplicity. Being vegan or healthy or satisfied shouldn’t be hard. I love making something once and being able to create two completely different dishes. Hence, the inspiration for the two Tofurky recipes and two wild […]

The only thing better than a Tofurky roasting in the oven are Tofurky leftovers in the fridge. I took the leftover Mojo Tofurky and made it into an entree salad with wild rice, pecans and figs. I also threw in an enticing red apple for crunch and color. I served the Tofurky salad on a […]

Here’s the yummy truth of my adoration for the love of olives. I love them green, I love them black, I love them Kalamata, I love them spicy, I love them all. Perhaps I will find an olive entree soon, but until that day we’ll eat them as a condiment, a side dish, an […]

A few weeks ago a comment came in about the Oreo Cookie pie crust I used to create the Play In The Mudd Pie. One of Exploits readers was cool enough to write in to tell me that when she had looked up the ingredient list of the crust on the Nabisco website, the list […]

Over the weekend we were given a handful of butternut squash that had been grown by my niece and nephew. They are in elementary school and have a voracious appetite for growing veggies (love that). Because I know how lovingly this squash had been cared for, I felt it was my obligation and honor to […]
