This past Chanukah, Tom bought me a spiralizer. I’ve wanted one for a long time although I can make long veggie noodles with a julienne peeler. But it’s not the same, you know? So yesterday, I finally took it out of the box and after a few missteps, I got the hang of how to […]

Greek Lemon Soy Curls and Potatoes
Last night I was trying to think of what to make for dinner. When I can’t decide, I try to narrow it down – which ethnicity? which ingredients? comfort food or healthy? saucy or not sauce? Yesterday, I was feeling like Butler Foods soy curls but not saucy. Not a stew or soup. I wanted […]

Chickpea, Cucumber and Kale Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing
It was way too hot to cook yesterday. I had planned to but by the time dinner rolled around, the last thing I wanted was to turn the stove on. My body was craving a salad – a light, refreshing summer salad. I had a can of chickpeas so I took the salad on a […]
Product Review: So Delicious Culinary Coconut Milk and Pasta in Lemon-Coconut Cream Sauce
It seems that every time I get really excited about a new vegan product, it’s made by So Delicious. I’ve always loved their yogurt, I could live on their frozen desserts, I’m addicted to their new cashew milk and their seasonal coconut milks make me wish it was autumn all year long! Now So […]
Snap Pea Salad with Almonds in an Herbed Vinaigrette
Sugar snap peas are one of those vegetables I buy and then I’m not sure what to do with them other than putting them in a stir-fry or just munching them raw. They are a cute little bunch of pods and they hold up really well to cooking, keeping their crunch. Tom brought me home […]
Spinach, Tomato and Cheddar Mini-Quiches with Lemon Cashew Cream
I used to love eggs. Not all kinds of eggs. In fact, hardly any kind. I liked scrambled eggs and omelets. That’s pretty much it. Not a lot of variety but I really loved eggs in those 2 ways. Eggs were the last animal food I eliminated when I became vegan. For me, cheese was […]
Moroccan Tofu in a Lemon-Olive Sauce over Spaghetti
This is our new favorite dish. I only came up with it a couple of weeks ago and we’ve already had it 3 times! To me, that’s a good judge of how good it is. I love Moroccan flavors: the heat of cumin, the brightness of coriander, the spice of cinnamon and the tangy […]
VeganMoFo: Melissa d’Arabian and Tofu or Vegan "Shrimp" Scampi
The “V” Word continues its celebration of VeganMoFo, the vegan month of food, with its theme “If TV Celebrity Chefs Went Vegan.” Today I’m writing about Melissa d’Arabian for the simple reason that I like her. Melissa d’Arabian was the winner of Season 5’s Food Network Star (I predicted that) and now hosts Ten Dollar […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Tofu Piccata Edition
One of the best jobs I ever had was when I worked in an Italian restaurant. I was in med school and I desperately needed money for food and expenses. My father had just passed away and I was over my head in loans. When not studying, I spent a lot of my free time […]
