Buddha Bowl with Creamy Vegan Pesto
Have I mentioned how much I love Buddha Bowls, because I do. A lot. But before we get into the goodness of this latest meal, I should apologize for my absences and sporadic posts.

Spinach & Bean Pinwheels with Balsamic Raddichio
I am always on the lookout for new dishes to sample or vegan-ize, thinking that maybe now I’ll appreciate something that, as a meat eater, I didn’t appreciate. Like spinach. Sure, I could kill a bowl of spinach artichoke dip like nobody’s business but let’s be honest and admit that was mostly due to the…

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…

Vegan Döner Kebab: Taco Edition!!
When we lived in Germany I got very acquainted with something that I now love; döner kebabs. They are very similar to gyros in the United States except that instead of tzatziki there are all kinds of yummy veggies and spicy pepper sauce if you want. Some places also offer a crumbly feta-style cheese with…

Simple Sun Dried Tomato Pesto ~ A.K.A. Vegan Rosso Pesto!
As an author, blogger and ghostwriter I spend a lot of time at home. In front of my computer. Sometimes hours go by without a break of any kind and the next thing I know…BAM, it’s time for lunch. Of course I’ve planned for lunch but that was when I was young and had fantasies…

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…
