I know what you’re thinking, beans and salad? Yuck? If it’s not a Mexican or Tex-Mex style burrito bowl or salad, I ain’t interesting. Did I get that right? Ha! I used to be like you, so naive and rigid in my salad thinking, and then I started eating salads. A lot of salads. In…

Happy Friday, folks! We’re back for more vegan travels and vegan nibbles. I left off with our ride along the Danube River, which was fantastic. The day was nice, the weather was perfect and I had a blast learning the history of this part of the river. In some ways, it was similar to the…

Porcini Risotto Recipe w/Vegan Parmesan

It’s been months since me or my husband have made risotto even though we love it and there’s always a big box of arborio rice on the shelf. It’s one of those weird things where you plan to make it and then you forget or you think of something else to make. It doesn’t matter…

And then you have the “guts” of the sandwich which can be vegetables, meat alternatives and even beans. What’s not to love?…
