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 […]

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 […]

This is the double delicious leftover recipe from yesterday’s squash risotto. What could be better than a simple, e-z to create vegan meal that loves you back twice? I took a portion of the squash risotto from last night and made it into a second dish that took only minutes to prepare. I added a […]

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 […]

Kale Trail Update As we drove to the Metropark for our first 13 mile run the wind howled and the Veggie Van shook. I thought,”Why today wind and rain? Why today?” Photo By: S. Duquet I would have thought that since a week ago we had just rocked out 12 miles that 13 would be […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
