Cabbage Spring Rolls & Peanut Butter Soba Noodles (VEGAN)
Recently I was in the mood for cabbage rolls, but not really, more like spring rolls made with cabbage instead of rice paper. I don’t know why, not really, other than I was reminiscing about some really delicious Vietnamese spring rolls I had once in Wheaton, IL. Then I was walking down the aisle of…

Easy Vegan Soups ~ Red Lentil & Ramen Veggie Soup
One of my favorite things to make when it’s cold outside is soup. Or stew, or a delicious combination of the two that I liked to call, stewp. Give me a bunch of veggies and a handful of grains served with a delicious broth and I am good to go. At least, that’s what I…

Linguine & Vegan Balls with Red Sauce
Spaghetti and meatballs, it’s pretty much a classic among pasta meals and it’s been a long damn time since I’ve eaten any variation of them. Part of it is because meatballs can be a really cumbersome task, more so when they’re vegan, at least that was the case when I first went vegan in Germany.…

Twice Cooked Vegan Gobi Manchurian
As you guys know, my love for all forms of Asian cuisine knows no bounds. None.

Exciting. Imagine my surprise when…

Chinese Takeout at Home for the Lazy Vegan
Most of the time, especially in this strange year we’ve all found ourselves caught in, your desire to have vegan takeout is prompted more by convenience than by taste. Right?

Creamy Vegan Mushroom Tetrazzini
Whenever I think of tetrazzini, instantly I’m propelled back to the 90’s when my former step mother would make this dish with leftover dry chicken (or turkey if it was just after Thanksgiving) and mushrooms and some cream-type style. It wasn’t my favorite dish back then, other than the fact, you know, that pasta is…

Nothing is better than a nice stewy dish when the weather is cold, and let me tell ya, the weather here has been COLD!!! I was really in the mood for a hearty vegetable stew but my partner wanted me to make creamy polenta so I split the difference and added a lot less broth…

Vegan Bacon w/ Cheesy Broccoli Linguine
What do you do when your latest order of vegan food arrives in the mail and vegan bacon is inside? You make some version of vegan carbonara, but you don’t call it carbonara because all the Italian food purists will throw a giant hissy fit. My partner made a simple request, vegan pasta carbonara and…
