A Day in Bucharest ~ Sightseeing & Vegan Eats
Last week was our 18th wedding anniversary and we decided to do something that we have been avoiding for the past few years. Driving in Bucharest. Well, that’s not entirely true as we did spend some time in 2021 there in order to get some tattoos, but in general it is a huge headache and…

A Day in the Mountains + Full English Breakfast Recipe
Last week I meant to add a bonus post because I’ve been so spotty lately while working and writing my new novel, not to mention taking in all the sights Romania has to offer. I didn’t get to it because I had a really trippy dream last week and it put me off while I…

Vegan Taco Salads ~ Black Bean & Corn Taco Salad
The thing I love about salad is that that you can do so much with it. You can toss together a quickie salad that looks pretty much what people think vegans eat, or you can go all out and make a proper salad that fills you up with food and nutrients. Guess which one I…

Southern Style Vegan Black Eyed Pea & Spinach Stew
I know, I know, it’s barely September and here I am with a stew recipe. The weather is still nice but has cooled dramatically after the super warm summer we’ve had all over Europe (and home in the US too, no?), which makes it the perfect time to hop on the stew train. Or if…

Vegan Summer Salads ~ Broccoli, Sweet Potato & Chickpea Salad
With this unbelievable and sometimes, unbearable, heat, I have been working to up my salad game. We’ve all heard the vegan jokes about munching on lettuce nonstop to fuel our malnourished bodies, but the truth is that if I’d known how amazing I could make salads in my pre-vegan days, my life might be very…

Vegan Sausage & Bean Casserole w/Garlicky Mashed Potatoes
I know, I know. Beans and sausage are both proteins and totally unnecessary in one desk. I know. Really, I do. In fact, most nights of the week I’ll be the annoying vegan making that argument. But a deal is a deal and when we decided, ages ago, that as long as we had the…
