Cucumber salad is so light and refreshing! We love to eat it all summer long. I’ve created lots of different variations of this salad so it never gets boring. This Asian version is wonderful with everything, but especially as a side dish to sushi, chow mein, and egg rolls. I like to add it to…
Sometimes you just have to have a big, delicious sandwich. Before going vegan one of my favorite things to order at restaurants was a giant club sandwich on sourdough. Piled with bacon, and slathered with garlicky aioli. Now that I’m vegan, I like the same thing, but with vegan “meats” and cheeses. My favorite accompaniment…
Time to make the donuts! (I already made the donuts!) Remember that funny commercial from the 80s? I think it was for Winchell’s Donut Shop. I always laughed at that funny donut guy. Some of you are too young to remember. I just turned 50 (what the WHAT?) so I can say stuff like that…
Do you love frozen hot chocolate? I first discovered it at Dairy Queen years ago. And then, after watching the movie Serendipity, I was in love with the giant goblets of the stuff portrayed in a quaint, romantic setting. I decided to recreate a copycat version of the rich, chocolaty, icy treat. Well, guess what?…
These brownies are super fudgy, rich, and chocolaty. Perfect for when the chocolate craving strikes. On top of being completely delicious, they’re easy to make and only call for 4 ingredients! Yes! Only 4. If you want to make these vegan, it’s very easy. Just use plain, unsweetened soy milk when making the instant pudding,…
Who doesn’t love a delicious BLT in the summer time? It’s the perfect dinner for those days when you can’t fathom spending more than a few minutes in the kitchen. They’re my favorite! You may notice there’s something a bit different about my BLT. Yup. The one pictured above features tofu bacon. Wait. Where are…
I’m one of those people who can make toast, jam, and tea an entire meal. Really good, toasted bread (like sourdough or a grainy, chewy wheat bread), topped with vegan butter and a generous spread of jam, is the stuff dreams are made of. Pair it with a big mug of Keemun or Earl Grey,…
Any other tofu fanatics out there? Oh my gosh, I freaking love the stuff. It’s so incredibly versatile and comes in many different forms. It’s a super clean, lean, delicious, vegan protein! I love extra firm tofu for mimicking eggs in this tofu benny, and this delicious breakfast sandwich. Firm to medium firm tofu is…
I’ve been eating a mostly raw, plant-based, vegan diet and enjoying a smoothie (or two) every day. I’ve discovered that if you make smoothies correctly, they’re not only good for you, they taste like ice cream! Who would have thought eating this way would feel like you’re treating yourself to a decadent treat every day?…
What’s a good thing to make when you’re craving something that’s fudgy, chocolate, and decadent, but is also good for you? It might seem like your only options are fruit, or a smoothie. Let’s face it, that doesn’t always satisfy the craving. What to make, what to make… Oh! Here’s an idea. Make these delicious…
