Quick & Easy Spicy Drumsticks
It’s been a while since I brought up the pre-made vegan food products the Hubs and I occasionally buy online to pique or curiosity or just because we’re having a greasy, junk food craving that can’t be satisfied by firm tofu alone. But I’ve saved the best of the most recent batch for last. Vegan…

Once I stopped thinking that sandwiches equal meat, my sandwich game stepped up considerably. Here’s the secret: put whatever you want on the dang sandwich! I know, it’s crazy but trust…

Spiced Cauliflower Salad with Peanut Sauce
I’m not one to follow trends, per se, but the upside to a particular food being ‘on trend’ means there’s a flood of new recipes to make you rethink your stance on, say…cauliflower. Now I was never a cauliflower hater but I’ve always preferred broccoli. Then I adopted a plant based lifestyle and that began to…

Tofu Steaks with Chimichurri
When it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping, I am a champ. I mean, not to toot my own horn but I’m pretty great at it because I take the time to be. I subscribe to different recipe blogs both vegan and non-vegan because let’s face it, inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes it…

Vegans On Holiday: Hunedoara, Alba Iulia, Deva & Sighisoara (Romania)
One of my favorite things, aside from food, is traveling. In every place I have ever lived, I have done some serious exploring of the local and near-local sights. Of course I never get to see everything but I get to see a lot so I won’t complain. Much. Recently the Hubs and I took…

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…

Mushroom Gyro Bowl & Vegan Yogurt Sauce
One of my favorite things to eat as a teenager was a gyro. There was this great little shop within walking distance of our house that sold fried catfish, barbecue chicken and gyros…mostly. Or maybe that’s all I remember because that’s mostly what I ordered. Every. Single. Time. Recently I was watching a cooking show…

Cauliflower Steak, It’s What’s For Dinner!
In my never ending quest to learn how to cook and reconfigure things, this week I decided to take on the elusive cauliflower steak. Okay so maybe it’s not all that elusive but it’s something I’ve wanted to make but simply never got around to doing. Until now. I was recently wasting a bit of time on…

Korean Fried Tofu & Creamy Ginger Slaw
Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean all of the time, a girl just has to have take out. Unless of course she is visiting several small towns in an eastern European country–and she’s vegan–then she just has to get in the kitchen and make it herself. Or himself. This recipe, was all me, inspired by a…
