Mujadarrah Inspired Cauliflower & Soya
I’ve been away for a while. A long while. First my husband had the flu while I was editing my latest book and then, for the very first time in my life, I was taken down with the flu as well. It was awful and an experience that I never, ever, ever want to experience…

Fire Noodles & Mongolian Style Tofu
These days I’m loving the mix & match meals that my partner and I have been enjoying. What is a ‘mix & match’ meal, you ask? Easy, it’s a meal that can actually be two separate meals but you decide to put’em together to create something vegan and delicious. Some people, fancier people than me,…

Sweet & Spicy Apricot Mushrooms & Tofu Vegan Dinner
I don’t know about you guys, but I love to cook. I don’t have a problem with blasting some music or listening to a true crime podcast while I get busy in the kitchen. Whether it’s making my favorite dessert from scratch–brownies–or any other thing that’s asked of me, I’ll do it. But that doesn’t…

Vegan Chickpea & Quinoa Tandoori
Let’s just get this out in the open right now; I do NOT have a clay Tandoori oven so, sure, technically this isn’t a real vegan Tandoori. But I used all the delicious flavors that mean Tandoori to me, so here we are. I’m not going to let myself get boggled down in the details…

Vegan Pepper Steak Stir-Fry
So this time, we’re starting with a story. Way back in 1998 , I was an eager high school graduate headed to downstate Illinois for my very first Freshman orientation with my best friend. We visited the entire campus and I was sure–absolutely certain, in fact–that I, of the dubious navigation talents, would be able…

Vegan Mushroom Mapo Tofu
If you’ve never heard of Mapo Tofu, then you are in for a real treat. I came across video by Wil Yeung on YouTube and you know what happened next? That’s right, it ended up on my plate a few days later! For those of you not in the know, Mapo Tofu is a Chinese…

No-Meatball Creamy Curry Risotto
Perhaps my favorite part of getting to choose what my husband cooks on his nights, is coming up with new combinations to see what he’ll do with the dish. On this night, I wanted three things: curry, vegan meatballs and risotto. It sounded strange even to my own ears, so I hit up the Google…

Cabbage Spring Rolls & Peanut Butter Soba Noodles (VEGAN)
Recently I was in the mood for cabbage rolls, but not really, more like spring rolls made with cabbage instead of rice paper. I don’t know why, not really, other than I was reminiscing about some really delicious Vietnamese spring rolls I had once in Wheaton, IL. Then I was walking down the aisle of…

Easy Vegan Soups ~ Red Lentil & Ramen Veggie Soup
One of my favorite things to make when it’s cold outside is soup. Or stew, or a delicious combination of the two that I liked to call, stewp. Give me a bunch of veggies and a handful of grains served with a delicious broth and I am good to go. At least, that’s what I…
