As people’s lives become busier and busier, meal delivery services are becoming more and more popular. Even if you love to cook, there’s something nice about having all the shopping, prepping and cooking done for you once in a while. After a long day, it can be a refreshing treat to just open the fridge […]

Vegan Chilaquiles
If you eat a gluten-free diet, finding snacks that are healthy and delicious is important. That’s why it’s so great that there are companies like Beanfields Snacks. Their line of bean and rice chips are gluten-free, vegan and sooo good! I’ve reviewed Beanfields Snacks several times. They won a Trudy Award for Best Snack Food […]
Product Review: Sirabella’s Vegan Cheesecake!!!
Today, May 26th, is National Blueberry Cheesecake Day so it’s the perfect day to sing the praises of Sirabella’s Vegan Cheesecake. Growing up, my mother always made cheesecake with ricotta and cream cheese. Everyone loved it. I wasn’t a fan of cheesecake; it was too tangy for my not-yet-grown-up taste buds. Since I’ve been vegan […]
Product Review: Veestro Meal Delivery Service
Of all the things I know about food, the one thing I don’t know how to do is control my portions. I mean, I KNOW how, I just can’t seem to do it. When I first went vegan, it didn’t seem to matter how much I ate, the weight fell off. But as you know, […]
Super Green Rice with Veggies, Soy Curls and Dr. Mercola’s Organic Greens
A while ago, I received some really cool products from Dr. Mercola to review. You’ve probably heard of Dr. Mercola; he is the health guru and best-selling author of many books on nutrition and health. His web site is packed with articles on health, nutrition and ways we can improve our lives and health. He also […]
Superfoods Oatmeal Cookies
Continuing with our healthy recipes during January (or #Veganuary) as we like to think of it, I have to share this recipe for these Superfoods Oatmeal Cookies. When you want a snack, these are perfect. You can eat them raw or bake them as I did. They’re oatmeal cookies but they are so much more […]
Product Review: Let Thy Food
I told you a bit about Let Thy Food when I shared my recipe for my Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Pizza. I said then that I would do a full review of the company and here it is! Let Thy Food is a company founded by Christina and Jeremy Bartel who have a passion for […]
Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free Individual Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Pizza
Lately, I’ve been craving pizza. A lot. But I didn’t want to make a giant pie with yeast and kneading and the oven. I wanted pizza that was quick, easy and cooked on the stove top. And crunchy. I like my pizza crispy as opposed to chewy. That’s where flatbread pizza comes in. I’ve shared […]
Product Review: Hilary’s Eat Well
When I first read about Hilary’s Eat Well and their products, I wanted to try them so badly. The kind people at Hilary’s sent me coupons but there was no place in my town that sold their products. About a year later, they sent me more coupons (mine had expired) and two of their salad […]
Vegan Treats for Dogs
There is no love like that of a dog – unconditional, loyal and completely honest. The all-encompassing way I loved my dog, Poochie, stunned and nourished me every single day and when I lost her, it felt like my heart was forever broken. When we got Benny, I honestly didn’t think I could love him […]
Sweet Crepes with Chocolate Sesame Spread and Soom Tahini
Lately, I’ve been on a roll of finding products that make me suddenly like foods I normally don’t. Tahini is one of those foods. I know I’m in the minority on this. Most people love tahini and put it in everything. I’ve just never liked the taste. It’s fine in hummus but on its own, […]
Vegan Ice Cream Bon Bons and Review of NadaMoo Dairy-Free Desserts
Let me tell you about me and ice cream. Don’t expect a love story, though, because that’s not it. As a kid I liked ice cream. Of course I did; what child doesn’t like ice cream? But I didn’t love it. When the ice cream truck would drive by, the “Pop Goes the Weasel” […]
Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake Bites with Madecasse Chocolate
If you know me from my blog posts, then you know I’m not a huge fan of chocolate and sweets. I’m much more of a savory girl. But if there were a chocolate that could change my mind, Madécasse is the company that makes it. The story of Madécasse is enough to make you fall […]
Double Black Bean Tofu Cheeseburgers with Mori-Nu Silken Tofu
While I like to consider myself something of a tofu aficionado, I’m not so experienced using silken tofu. I think I used it once or twice while attempting tofu omelets and Matzoh Brei. But otherwise, I don’t think about using it too much. Now I’m trying to change that and learn my way around silken […]
Buffalo Soy Curls Mac & Cheese with Soy Curls Crumble
This recipe is my Ode to Soy Curls. Butler Soy Curls are one of my favorite products. I remember the first time someone told me about them – she warned me they were addicting. Well, I have been hooked for years. Soy curls are one of the most versatile products out there. You can […]
Portobello Seitan Stroganoff and Review of Sweet Earth Natural Foods (Part Two)
When I offered to do a review and develop a recipe for Sweet Earth Natural Foods, I honestly didn’t expect much. I live in the middle of nowhere with no Whole Foods or Trader Joes in sight. This town has one small natural foods store where they sell just enough vegan products to be vegan-friendly […]
The Most Amazing Potato Nachos and Review of Sweet Earth Foods (Part One)
When I write recipes I don’t usually label them as “the best,” “the ultimate” or “perfect” as some people do. I’ve always felt that sounded a bit conceited and was up to the eaters to decide for themselves. But calling this recipe just “Potato Nachos” didn’t seem accurate. It needed something else. And something more […]
Vegan Orange Soy Curl Chicken
What? Two soy curl recipes in a row??! You probably think you won the lottery! Maybe you did. All I know is that I made this dish last night and it was so good, I had to share it right away. It wouldn’t be fair to make you wait weeks for it. Last night I […]
Vegan Soy Curl Caesar Salad and Cheesy Breadsticks
My favorite salad has always been Caesar salad. There was a time that it was the only thing I ever ate when I would go out to lunch. If I ever ordered something else, I ended up regretting not getting the Caesar salad. Caesar dressing is just so good. It’s thick, creamy, salty and delicious. […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Fudge
This may be the shortest recipe I’ve ever posted. Unlike most of my savory dishes, it doesn’t have a dozen herbs and spices. And unlike many of my recipes, it has only 4 rather than 40 ingredients (5 if you count the cooking oil spray which is optional). Even my dessert recipes usually have a […]
Vegan Meatball Parmigiana Hero Made with Neat Italian Mix and Egg Replacer
I reviewed Neat – a Healthy Replacement for Meat a few months ago when I made my Vegan Sloppy Joses using their Neat Mexican Mix. Today I’m writing about their Italian mix AND their new egg replacer, the Neat Egg. The Neat Egg Mix is made with chia seeds and chickpeas. You just mix it […]
Product Review: The Lazy Dog Cookie Co.
We love our dogs and fur babies more than anything so it doesn’t make sense to feed them food or snacks that are anything but the best. That seems obvious yet so many dog foods and treats have questionable ingredients. The way I see it, if I wouldn’t eat it, I’m certainly not going to […]
Vegan Strawberry Cheese Blintzes with Strawberry Basil Compote and GO Veggie!® Cream Cheese
Whenever my mother made blintzes, she would make dozens…literally. She would easily make about 100 blintzes – cheese and potato – and freeze them so we could enjoy them for weeks and months to come. My favorites were the potato blintzes with mashed potatoes mixed with caramelized onions. I’ve made a vegan version of my […]
Italian White Bean Dip and Plentils from Enjoy Life Foods
When it comes to salty, crunchy foods, I have very little willpower. You can keep your chocolate and your ice cream; just give me the chips. It’s because I have so little control over potato chips that I either try to avoid them or I make my own Homemade Baked Potato Chips. So when a crunchy […]
