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…

Vegan Burgers ~ Two Ways
I love burgers. I always have and I probably always will. What I don’t always love is the time and effort it sometimes takes to make a really good burger and double that for a really good grill-able burger. So the last time we had a burger night we made…a few. Okay, it was a lot.…

Kidney Bean Burger & Veggie “Fries”
Burgers make the world go round, at least this humble vegan thinks so. One of the things that just hasn’t changed as I made the transition to a plant based life is my love of burgers. Sure, it took some time before I found one vegan burger I could live with but now, more than…

Spinach & Bean Pinwheels with Balsamic Raddichio
I am always on the lookout for new dishes to sample or vegan-ize, thinking that maybe now I’ll appreciate something that, as a meat eater, I didn’t appreciate. Like spinach. Sure, I could kill a bowl of spinach artichoke dip like nobody’s business but let’s be honest and admit that was mostly due to the…

Plant Based Chickpea Salad Sammie
I’ve made no secret out of the fact that going vegan wasn’t a huge challenge for me, beyond re-learning to pay attention to the ingredients in the products I buy and trying to be a better, more conscious consumer. But there was one area that proved problematic for me from the outset. Lunch. I work…
