Simple Vegan Stir Fry
When you’ve made the commitment to eat healthy and minimize how often you eat out, you have to be honest with yourself. For me, that means owning up to the fact that I don’t always want to cook or I’m just not in the mood to get all chef-y with it. When that happens, I…

Plant Based Pad Thai
Noodles are one of the greatest culinary treasures around in my humble opinion. They cook fast, are incredibly versatile and if you choose the right one you can actually help your diet, health or weight loss goals. Of course I won’t pretend that my love of noodles is all about health because it’s mostly about…carbs.…

Vegan Döner Kebab: Taco Edition!!
When we lived in Germany I got very acquainted with something that I now love; döner kebabs. They are very similar to gyros in the United States except that instead of tzatziki there are all kinds of yummy veggies and spicy pepper sauce if you want.

It’s been almost two years since my husband and I adopted a plant based diet and aside from concern over my protein intake, the most common question I get asked is, “But what do you eat?” I usually answer with sarcasm, something along the lines of grass and twigs because, let’s face it, that’s what…

Spicy Broccoli & Tofu Noodles
One of my favorite things is noodles. Asian style noodles. I love them all from the delicious buckwheat taste of soba noodles to rice noodles (thick or thin) and of course, ramen. But I also adore Udon noodles, glass noodles, wok noodles and all the undiscovered noodles out there waiting for me. I. Love. Them.…

My New-ish Favorite Thing
Ginger. Ingwer. Ghimbir. Gingembre. However you call it in your neck of the woods, I love the stuff. From the moment I started on my culinary tour of Asia–in anticipation of a real tour of the continent–ginger was the flavor that most knocked me back on my fanny. It was kind of sweet and tart,…

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. This was my very first…

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…
