Just thought I’d pop in and share some scenes from Mother’s Day 2020. Even with all the weirdness this year, my husband, daughters, friends, and grandgirls made sure I had a good day and that means so much to me. Flowers, in garden and bouquet form, were the theme this year as they are most…
I’ve taken chickpea salad to the next level. This is perfect for those days when you’re craving a really good sandwich and are perhaps missing the days when you ate tuna salad and chicken salad. Although I find the idea of eating animals revolting now, I completely understand the nostalgia and emotions connected to the…
Here’s a salad that makes me happy! The colors, textures, and flavors are gorgeous. And that banana dressing is going to knock your socks off. This is my vegan riff on an old favorite. This version is healthier and so much better, in my opinion. You can prepare your tofu triangles any way you like.…
I made it my personal quest to recreate the IKEA veggie balls and make them delicious as well as healthy. Although the original IKEA vegetable balls are already pretty healthy (and of course vegan), I think if one desires to continue their veggie ball habit they might want to switch to a recipe with no…
Here’s another little, savory nibble I made for game day this year and I’m just getting around to sharing the recipe now. Sausage rolls! These were amazing, and so easy to prepare in my air fryer. You could do this with vegan hot dogs and dip them in ketchup, but I really like this version.…
So, you’re vegan and you’re craving fish. Yup, I’ve been there. Giving up fish was the last step in my journey to becoming a vegan. I didn’t miss steak or dairy ice cream nearly as much as I missed plain old cod and shellfish. I was a fish freak. I could live on salmon and…
This falafel wrap isn’t your usual falafel wrap. The kind where you basically make a vegan gyro by subbing falafel for gyro meat. Yeah, this isn’t that. It’s surprising and different and worth a blog post to show you you don’t have to have another boring falafel sandwich. I came up with this by using…
Before I went vegan I was a banh mi FANATIC. I made my own version of the traditional banh mi, and a crock pot banh mi. Also knows as the “Saigon Sub,” the banh mi sandwich is one of those unforgettable, delicious, and oh-so-addictive flavor combinations. People who love them are passionate about them. I…
I have been searching for really GOOD vegan ranch dressing and have yet to find one that meets my standards. I’ve bought them all, and they’re all pretty meh. Just brand made a decent one that was the best one I could find as far as the store-bought stuff goes, but I haven’t been able…
I had a craving. Bagels with cream cheese and lox with a cup of French press coffee. One of my absolute favorite things to eat. Since I don’t eat fish anymore, what in the heck was I supposed to do? I looked up vegan lox online and found a bunch of recipes for carrot lox.…
