Healthier & Happier Living with a Plant-Based Diet
Today's theme for Vegan MOFO is to tell about a weird food combination that you love. That took me a little while to come up with, as I don't really crave anything really strange, so I decided that this will fit for today ~ green chili fruit salad. Deconstructing the dish, it's actually not all that… Continue reading Green Chili Fruit Salad ~ Vegan MOFO Day #4
It's really interesting to me how some things stick with you for years. And years and years. The dish that I decided to make today was based on something I read in a book when I was 13. The book was called Taking Sides by Norma Klein, and it's about a girl whose parents divorce… Continue reading Orange Flower with Maple-Ginger Cream ~ Vegan MOFO Day 3
Today's theme for Vegan MOFO is "recreate a dish from your childhood". I thought of lots of things I could recreate, but then realized that I didn't like a lot of them. You know, the meatloaf, stuffed green peppers and such. To this day, I kind of hate green peppers because of that. But then… Continue reading A Spin on Vegan Kapusta ~ Polish Comfort Food… Vegan MOFO 2015
I'm thrilled to be sharing a recipe today from my friend Somer's first book, The Abundance Diet. I've been reading her blog, Vedged Out, from day one, and eagerly await the new recipes and photos that she posts online. We connected a few years ago when I offered her some yoga support after an injury. She… Continue reading The Abundance Diet ~ Recipe and Giveaway!
I've been all about exciting salads this summer. I love salads and make lots of them, but they are one of those things that have to be changed up regularly so they don't become routine and boring. So last week when I saw this salad posted by Afro-Vegan author Bryant Terry, I couldn't wait to… Continue reading Brussels Sprout Kaleslaw with Ginger-Dill Dressing
This recipe happened because I was actually having a craving for egg rolls. Not spring rolls, not baked rolls, but the crispy fried ones with lots of filling inside. The problem is, when I start with fried things, stopping isn't always the easiest thing. There's something totally addictive about crunchy, salty things. I didn't want… Continue reading Grilled Dumplings with Spicy Sesame Sauce
Contrary to popular belief, June is not a great time to visit the beaches of Southern California. If you head out bright and early in the morning to get a good spot on the sand, you'll probably find it looking something like this: The marine layer causes the formation of these clouds, bringing fog, mist… Continue reading Creamy Turnip Soup
When you think of curry, how many of you think of that bright yellow powdered spice mixture, or a veggie or tofu dish made with it? Yeah? Me too. Or at least I did, until my first look through the newest addition to my cookbook collection, Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen. Then I learned that "curry" is… Continue reading Spicy Baked Cauliflower Florets from Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen & Giveaway!
When I was young, I somehow ended up at lots of banquet-y type things. Wedding receptions, award ceremonies and holiday celebrations... and there was a restaurant near our house that we went to occasionally that was a banquet-y type of place. When the adults were having drinks with dinner, what was my beverage of choice? A… Continue reading Vegan Chocolate Covered Cherries
I've noticed that I'm a little behind on celebrating these National XX Days. Apparently today was National Grilled Cheese Day. I wonder what's coming up next. Does anyone know? And the recipe that I have to share today would actually have been perfect last week for National PB&J Day ... but it's still perfect, as… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes
