Roasted Veggie Sub & Oil Free Pesto
Just because you want to eat healthy doesn’t mean you can’t eat good. This has been the key to my weight loss success this far, finding creative ways to keep the flavor without adding too much extra fat or calories. It’s something that has to be done so instead of whine about it, I just…

Spiced Cauliflower Salad with Peanut Sauce
I’m not one to follow trends, per se, but the upside to a particular food being ‘on trend’ means there’s a flood of new recipes to make you rethink your stance on, say…cauliflower. Now I was never a cauliflower hater but I’ve always preferred broccoli. Then I adopted a plant based lifestyle and that began to…

Vegan Fish Sticks, A Love/Hate Tale
Before I tell you about these vegan fish sticks, I want to share something. My British friends find it hilarious that Americans call it chicken fingers instead of chicken strips because, duh, chickens don’t have fingers.

Simple Vegan Spaghetti Night
Despite my newly developed love of healthy and (mostly) clean eating, I have not gone the low carb route. I repeat, I have NOT gone the low carb route. Nope, I love my pasta, my noodles and even my bread too much. So cutting them out was never an option, but I try not to…

Tofu Steaks with Chimichurri
When it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping, I am a champ. I mean, not to toot my own horn but I’m pretty great at it because I take the time to be. I subscribe to different recipe blogs both vegan and non-vegan because let’s face it, inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes it…

Food Court Flashback ~ Bourbon Chicken Tofu
Way back in 2004, I was living in Boston working on the 2004 Presidential Election as an eager holder of a Masters in political science and delusions of…something. I had just met my husband, who was one of half a dozen roommates I shared a giant colonial with in Everett. Anyway the office where I…

Black Beans: Vegan Two Ways
If you’re anything like me, you always have a bag or two (okay, maybe three) of dry beans in your pantry. Dry beans are, in my opinion, a vegan staple and people of all diets should always have them on hand. My husband on the other hand, gets a little antsy about things being the…

Spiced Chickpea & Tofu Steak Bowl
If you haven’t learned by now that I am addicted to flavors of the Asian continent, then you haven’t been paying attention. There are so many different flavor profiles, cuisines, spices and dishes to try that I worry I won’t get through them all before I die. That’s how much I love them. So when I’m…
