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…

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…

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…

Vegan Frikadeller & Mash
Frikadeller. Let that word roll around on your tongue for a minute. Got it? Okay. I call them ‘frika’ for short and they are delicious. I fell in love with them when I lived in Germany, especially the way my mother in law makes them with little strips of carrot and onion. I would eat…

Bok Choy Kimchi ~ Vegan Style
So, it turns out that if you can’t find Napa cabbage to make vegan kimchi, you don’t have to give up altogether on kimchi. I know, I know, it seems like common knowledge, right? Yeah well, I’ve been eating kimchi for years but I’ve only been making since 2019 so… It turns out that you…
