I can’t believe it’s here already but it is. This year, VeganMoFo, the month of vegan food, falls in September. During VeganMoFo, bloggers from all around the world dedicate an entire month to blogging about vegan food. This is my 4th year participating. The first year I participated, my theme was “A to Z but […]
Back in 2011, I posted a recipe for my vegan version of Ropa Vieja made with portobello mushrooms. “Ropa Vieja” means “old clothes” and comes from this story: A man’s family was coming to his home for dinner. Being very poor, the man could not buy them enough food. So he went to his closet, […]
Once upon a time, a vegan cook was cleaning out her pantry when she came across an old, dusty bottle. She wasn’t sure what had been in the bottle – maybe soy sauce or vinegar. There was no label on the bottle and it was not glass so she couldn’t see through it. The bottle […]
“This is the best sauce you have ever made,” Tom said as he was putting some of the leftover Bolognese sauce on some bread for a snack. “I think it tastes exactly like Mom’s,” I replied. And it was true. Every bite of this sauce took me right back to my mother’s meat sauce and […]
Normally, I don’t make a lot of cold dishes or pasta salads but the weather has been so hot lately, it seemed like a good idea. Of course, I still have to deal with the heat in the kitchen since this is a cooked dish even if it’s served cold but at least it feels […]
Reason #693,984,224,877,113,989,303,485 Why I Miss NYC: the summer menu at Blossom on Carmine. As if I needed another reason to miss the city, it’s time for all the wonderful vegan restaurants to unveil their summer menus highlighting the beautiful bounty of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Blossom on Carmine sent me an e-mail asking me to […]
When I was a kid, I loved getting hot dogs on the streets of New York. Just seeing that silver metal cart with the big umbrella got my mouth watering. Luckily, my father loved hot dogs even more than I did so I never feared being denied my request for a frank. Dad always got […]
Lately, I’ve been enjoying adding oranges to my dishes. I’ve made this Vegan Orange “Chicken” a few times before and it’s so delicious. It can be made with Beyond Meat Chicken-Free Strips, tofu or tempeh. It can be made with seitan but then it’s more like Orange “Beef” which would also be fantastic. I’ve always […]
Over the years I have accumulated so many recipes that I often can’t keep track which ones I’ve posted on the blog and which are still waiting their turn. The other night I looked up a recipe I wanted to make but lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found on the blog even […]
It’s Shavout, the Jewish holiday where we commemorate receiving the Torah, and for most people who celebrate, it brings to mind dishes that focus on dairy. However, I just read an interesting article on The Jewish Daily Forward called “Want Authentic Shavout Meals? Try Fruit, Not Dairy.” The article states that dairy was not an […]
Remember when I told you how amazing Vegan Cuts is when I reviewed their awesome snack box? Well, now I’m here to tell you that Vegan Cuts has gone to the dogs…literally. Vegan Cuts is offering the Dog Lovers Box which is packed with a bunch of canine goodies that will have your dog […]
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 […]
If you have never heard of Poutine, it’s time to start. Poutine is a traditional Canadian dish. It’s the ultimate comfort food – french fries smothered in gravy and topped with cheese curds. It’s common to find many poutine shops in Canada but now this decadent dish is becoming very popular in the U.S. I”m […]
When I received my cans of Meatless Select Fishless Tuna from Atlantic Natural Foods, I have to admit I hesitated. Fishless tuna? It seemed strange to me and I’m not quite sure why. After all, I eat and love vegan versions of chicken, beef, sausage, and other fishy-type foods like vegan shrimp and calamari. When […]
When I saw that there was a So Delicious and Go Dairy-Free Spring Fling Dairy-Free Recipe Contest, I knew I wanted to enter. After all, So Delicious is one of my very favorite companies EVER! So I looked through my recipes – those I’ve posted and those not yet shared – to find the ones […]
Oh, do I love Bee Free Honee! And I find it funny because I was never a fan of honey. When I was sick as a child, my mother would put it in my tea but other than that, I didn’t really like it. So when I became vegan, the fact that honey was […]
OMG! I have the worst cold. It’s literally the worst cold I’ve had in years. My head is stuffed, my nose is stuffed, I’m sneezing, coughing and my eyes are all watery. Maybe it’s even the flu since I’m achy all over. Whatever it is, I needed soup so I threw together whatever I had […]
Vegan meat loaf. That was easy. Back when I first started this blog, I came up with a vegan meat loaf inspired by a Bobby Flay recipe. I used Gimme Lean “Beef” for the meat substitute and it was delicious. But gluten-free, vegan meat loaf? That was a different challenge. Sure I could make one […]
I know I always said desserts were not my thing and there was a time I swore I couldn’t bake to save my life. But times change and I have challenged myself again and again to get in the kitchen and learn how to make delicious desserts. It’s especially challenging because I make mostly gluten-free […]
