Castles. I love them. Wherever I find myself in Europe there is always a castle nearby and you can count on me to want to hit up. But not in the “I want a White Knight and King’ kind of way. No, more in the way that the halls are so filled with history and…

Tarka Dal: A Delicious Vegan Lentil Treat
Maybe you don’t know this about me, but I LOVE Indian food. I didn’t always, though. Back in 2003 I was visiting D.C. for a training session right before I began working on the upcoming Presidential election and we were treated to dinner at this little family owned Indian restaurant.

So, here we are at my first Friday as a resident of Romania–officially–and my belly is full.

Spiced Chickpea & Sprouts Salad ~ How Vegans REALLY Do Salad
If you’ve been a vegan or any amount of time, you’ve probably been accused of eating nothing but rabbit food. And if you’re not, then you’ve probably made some variation of this joke. Ha-friggin’-ha!

Sesame Pineapple Cauliflower & Rice
One of the first things any new vegan must learn is the beauty of food substitutions. If you love tacos, which I do, then you have to get on board the bean or tofu train to replace that meat. If you love burgers which, again, I DO, then beans and lentils will become staples in…

Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Squares ~ A Plant Based Sweet Treat!
One of the things you should know about me is that I’m not that big into sweets. Once in a while I’ll make a pan of chocolate-y brownies to satisfy a craving for something sweet, but mostly I make them for the hubs. He has a sweet tooth the size of Alaska and he isn’t…
