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 […]

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 […]

Before we get to the food, I have an amazing addition to the giveaway…. a one of a kind cuff that tells the world you are VEGAN or a vegan wannabe and proud! Frankly, I would wear this as a conversation piece even if I weren’t vegan. It is hand crafted with love from recycled […]

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 […]

I made this salad on the fly when I found out that a friend of ours was joining us for dinner. We were out of traditional salad fixins and were having burgers on the grill. I thought this would be the perfect accompaniment and I had all of the ingredients on hand. Ingredients 1 Can […]

Happy Monday! This is the first of five posts this week that I’m sharing some fun original recipes with a twist, they will only have 5 ingredients each. I promised to do this in Saturday’s post and quickly realized that we are ingredient fiends. Sandy and I love spices, nuts, extra dashes of this and […]

I have often thought that Hubbard squash were the King Kong of squash…large, misunderstood, a bit scary and really sweet on the inside. Hubbards can be many different colors including blue and orange, and will range in size from 5-50 pounds. They always pop up in the farmers markets right around Halloween. I have questioned […]

I am absolutely cuckoo about Mexican food. I could eat it seven days a week. I love the layers of flavor and the heat. I love that there is always some marriage of warm food with cold condiments (salsa, fresh tomatoes, avocado). Last night Sandy and I were over scheduled in a way that made […]
