Mushroom & Pea Penne w/Chickpea Alfredo
So we’re going to round out bean week–mostly–with this final meal that actually inspired the theme this week. I’ve been looking for ways to use more beans (and less tofu) in more creative ways. You can only eat so many different bean stew type dishes before you’re ready to pull your hair out and wish…

When You’re In The Mood For A Vegan English Breakfast
So last week the Hubs and I decided to do another “thing”. A few weeks ago we had a soup themed week where we each cooked a variety of soups throughout the week. Another time it was sandwiches. This past week it was beans. I know what you’re probably thinking. “Beans, gross.” If that’s what…

Spicy Vegan Cajun Beans & Rice
Rice and beans. Some people hear this dish and turn their noses up at its simplicity while other, like me, think of all the ways I can make this basic meal more interesting. Will I whip up a quick Indian spice? Maybe an herb-y Mediterranean style rice and beans dish for the more relaxed vegan…

Spicy White Bean Shakshuka
Once in awhile a recipe will make the rounds on the web and I’ll think to myself, “I can veganize it.” Sometimes it’s just me being confident because I’ve spent a lot of time over the years tweaking recipes and some of it is an insane level of hubris. But if you want to keep…

Time & Figure Friendly Vegan Quinoa Salad
When it comes to eating healthy and eating vegan, you don’t have to resign yourself to a life of salad and tomatoes. Though for the record I should state that there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with lettuce or tomatoes. Or cucumber. Or radishes. Scallions. Or sprouts. I love it all and they are…

Easy Meatless Chickpea Balls
I love balls. I’m not ashamed to admit it, no matter how dirty and how naughty it sounds, I do. Chickpeas, lentils, veggie, zucchini, black beans, kidney beans, mushroom balls. You name it and I’ve probably ball-ified it for a recipe. For the past week or so I was thinking about over-sized “meat” balls. Like…

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…

Vegan Recipes That Didn’t Make The Cut
One of the things I’ve learned while blogging about my cooking adventures as a vegan, is that not all recipes are created equal. Duh, right? That’s what I thought too. But it turns out that for a home cook who specializes in taste, not sight, it’s not that simple. So I thought today it’d be…

Spicy Bean & Lentil Sloppy Joe
Sloppy Joe is a sandwich that will now and forever remind me of my childhood. As a kid of the 80’s & 90’s this sandwich was right up there with the golden arches in terms of my favorite foods to eat. But of course, as time went on and Cosmo told me how to get…
