12/15 Mayan Slaw W/ Coconut Lime Vinaigrette

It was 9 degrees in Michigan today. It may have reached a high of 14 during the most balmy part of the afternoon. Chloe took refuge in the warmth of her blankie den while Sandy and I bought more Vitamin D to stave off insanity from early onset Cabin Fever and sun deprivation. To that […]

12/8 Walk on the Wildside Rice, Another Winner!

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 […]

12/7 Tofurky Mojo Part Deux

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 […]

12/6 Tofurky Mojo Part One

Sandy grew up in Miami which helped her develop a sassy palate and love of  Cuban and Latino inspired foods. We both love cumin, lime and all things with a kick.   I just described the beginning of the perfect sauce. Cuban cuisine has a marinade called  Mojo Criollo. (mo-ho cree-yo).  It is typically made […]

12/4 Olive Tapenade, Another Vegan Joy Winner

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 […]

12/1 A Recipe & A Vegan Joyful Winner

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 […]

11/23 Fresh Cranberry Sauce

I love cranberry sauce from a can and am not ashamed to admit it. I crave cranberries with my Tofurky and have not yet tasted a fresh sauce that I love as much as a good solid can of whole berry sauce. It is like survival food because it comes out of the can looking […]

11/19 Gimme Five-Breakfast Sliders

I go to sleep at night looking forward to breakfast. Leaving the house without breakfast would be tantamount to leaving without a top on…I just wouldn’t do it.  Sometimes I crave oatmeal or smoothies, while other mornings I wake up wanting savory things like hummus or left over Tofurky. On weekends, breakfast can stretch out […]
