When the weather turns unexpectedly cold, I want something hot, spicy and heart as hell. In my house, that usually means curries, Asian soups or chili. This week, it meant Tikka. If you think you’re not a fan of cauliflower, I recommend you try it in a dish like tikka masala or a curry, where…

Vegan St. Paddy’s Day Dinner
Here’s another fun fact you might not know about me, I LOVE St. Patrick’s Day. As a lifelong Chicagoan I have spent more years than I can remember celebrating this day on the calendar. Part of it has to do with the fact that my birthday is just around the corner from March 17th and…

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Spiced Vegan Medley
In my household we do a lot of cooking. A lot. Most days one of us gets in the kitchen to prepare dinner from scratch and since we made the move to Romania, that pretty much happens seven days a week thanks to the distinct lack of vegan offerings beyond side dishes at most restaurants.…

Peles Castle, Sinaia & Onion Soup ~ A Plant Based Conundrum

Vegan Family Style Meals
So, here we are at my first Friday as a resident of Romania–officially–and my belly is full. Not stuffed, mind you, just that I have been indulging a little more than I should on some fine Romanian food that my mother-in-law has graciously made while we get our place set up, our fridge filled with food…
