Orzo Greek Salad with Vegan Feta
View recipe: Orzo Greek Salad with Vegan FetaFrom 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.

Mushroom & Pea Penne w/Chickpea Alfredo
View recipe: Mushroom & Pea Penne w/Chickpea AlfredoSo we’re going to round out bean week–mostly–with this final meal that actually inspired the theme this week.

Time & Figure Friendly Vegan Quinoa Salad
View recipe: Time & Figure Friendly Vegan Quinoa SaladWhen it comes to eating healthy and eating vegan, you don’t have to resign yourself to a life of salad and tomatoes.

Vegan Frikadeller & Mash
View recipe: Vegan Frikadeller & MashFrikadeller. Let that word roll around on your tongue for a minute. Got it? Okay. I call them ‘frika’ for short and they are delicious.
