I love reviewing new vegan products and spreading the word about all the wonderful vegan items on the market. The one thing I usually don’t get to review, however, is vegetables. Well, not fresh vegetables, anyway. Most products are foods that come in jars, bags and boxes. Plus, I don’t usually think about vegetables as […]

QBC Burgers (Quinoa, Broccoli and Chickpeas)
I love veggie burgers. I’ve made a bunch of them – Chickpea Burgers, Buffalo Lentil Burgers, Kidney Bean-Walnut Burgers, Black-Eyed Pea Burgers, Moussaka Burgers, Eggplant CrunchBurgers, Roasted Beet Burgers, Hoisin Black Bean Burgers and Trudy’s “Beefy” Burgers. […]
Product Review: Chic Naturals Chickpea Snacks
There are a lot of reasons to love Hawaii – the beautiful islands, the gorgeous oceans, the friendly people and rich culture – but here is another reason: it’s where Chic Naturals is based. And that’s important because Chic Naturals makes the most amazing dry roasted chickpea snacks. I’ve written about Chic Naturals before. In […]
Vegan Hot and Sour Soup with Tofu
When life gives you snow, make soup! It’s snowing again and it’s cold. There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup to warm you up. I was going to make a simple veggie soup but I added something here and something there and before you know it, it became this Hot and Sour […]

It’s always exciting to find and try new vegan products. When I find them and they are good, I love spreading the word about them. Today I want to tell you about pupusas from Tres Latin Foods, a company in Boulder, CO. What is a pupusa, you ask? A pupusa is a traditional dish from […]
Orange Balsamic BBQ Tempeh and Cheesy Chickpea Polenta
The other night I have a craving for BBQ. Whenever I make BBQ, I want mashed potatoes on the side. But I was out of potatoes. Then I thought polenta would be good but I didn’t have any cornmeal or polenta either. 🙁 I was getting ready to think up something else for dinner when […]
Vegan Caramel Popcorn and G.H. Cretors Popped Corn Review
You know the saying on the potato chips commercial about how “you can’t eat just one”? Well, I’m sure they wrote that for me because I love salty, crunchy snacks and when I get near a bowl or bag of potato chips, it won’t last very long. My best defense is to not buy any […]
Product Review: Buddha Teas Chakra Tea Blends
Let me tell you two things you may not know about me. The first thing is that I have always been a reluctant tea drinker. The only time I ever drank tea when I was younger was when I was sick and my mother forced me to. When I got older, I liked the tea […]
Spanish Cheesy Wheat Berries with Veggies and Jovial Foods Organic Einkorn Wheat Berries
Even after 6 years of being vegan and writing hundreds and hundreds of recipes, there are still foods I have never tried. It’s hard to believe but true. So many people think they will be deprived on a plant-based diet but the truth is, before I was vegan, I ate the same things over and […]
Jamaican (Ital) Curried Jackfruit with Chickpeas
I love so many different ethnic cuisines, especially those with rice and spice, that sometimes it’s hard for me to choose a favorite. However, if a genie told me I could have any one cuisine placed in front of me right now, it would take me no time to choose – Jamaican food. Jamaican food, […]
