Roasted Tomato & Vegan Ricotta Sandwich
I may or may not have shared with you my slight obsession with the TV show Dawson’s Creek. I don’t talk about it much here but if you’ve ever visited my Facebook or Author page, you’ll have seen it. Well I now have an extension to this obsession, which I realize may be too strong a word…

Vegan Mac & Cheese Dinner
I have a well documented love-hate relationship with vegan cheese that, on most days, is more hate than anythings. It’s a variety of factors that include the smell which I know is both odd and hypocritical since I used to love nothing better than a wedge of Camembert (or Brie) in my pre-vegan days. But…

Orzo Greek Salad with Vegan Feta
From the day I started this new journey to healthy, cruelty-free living, I have been trying to do a better job of adding fresh, raw vegetables to my diet. Before I turned vegan I always made sure I had plenty of vegetables to go along with my meat and dairy, but salad was something mostly…

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…

Tasty Vegan Carrot Mac
When it comes to food, I have no problem experimenting. And failing. And trying again. Call it a quirk or a superpower, just don’t call me a quitter! My most recent experiment came about because of my dislike of my vegan cheese that I’ve tried (except VioLife slices, those are super tasty) and my desire…

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 Lasagna…with Ricotta!!!
One of the few things I did miss about going vegan was lasagna without ricotta cheese which is strange because it is the ONLY time I like the stuff, and because I didn’t miss any other cheese products. Then I found a recipe for vegan ricotta. My first instinct was gross because personally, I don’t…

Cheesy Vegan Mac & Healthy Leftovers
One of the misconceptions that persists about vegans is that we are SUPER healthy since all we can eat are fruits and vegetables. First of all, I WISH!!! I have worked very hard to lose weight and get healthier but more importantly to stay healthy, but I am a human being with flaws, shortcomings and…

You’ve bought all the ingredients for a few awesome meals you want to try out but when the time comes to start cooking you just want something else. Something simple. Well that’s how this dish came about. That and the fact that the fridge had…

Black Beans Vegan & Two Ways
Beans, I’ve learned, are a pretty controversial food when they don’t need to be. Beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber, and beans are also incredibly inexpensive which means you get a lot of meal for your buck. We all (mostly??) have our favorite beans, mine include black beans and garbanzo beans because…
