10/27 Tricks or Treats

It’s that time of year again for Trick or Treat and givin’ them something good to eat.   Good to eat is a pretty subjective phrase as we are talking about truck loads of candy, but the good part can be even better since there are plenty of halloween candies available today that are not […]

10/26 Cinnamon Scented Cayenne Cornbread

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 […]

10/24 Happy Meatless Monday

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 […]

10/20 Winter Squash Barley Risotto

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 […]

10/18 Green Chili Cornbread

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. […]

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 […]

10/7 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.
