Full disclosure: I’ve never had a crunchwrap before. I can’t remember the last time I went to a Taco Bell or other restaurant like that – not once since I’m vegan and that’s 10 years!! But everyone is talking about crunchwraps and I love crunchy food so I made my own at home. Making crunchwraps […]

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 […]
Soy Curl Tortilla Soup
It’s fall. Yay! Fall is my favorite season. The leaves are already changing colors and floating to the ground. Every day Tom brings me in a beautiful leaf or two that he finds on his walks with Benny. It’s getting colder too and lately I’ve been craving soup. I’m loving the combination of tomatoes and […]
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 […]
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with this Skillet Cheesy Enchilada Stew
Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day of celebration and lots of good food and drinks. So I had to share this amazing dish I made. Well, it’s not really a dish – it’s an entire pot full of ooey-gooey cheesy, soy curl-y goodness. For some reason, I had cheese fondue in my mind. I’ve […]
Warm Vegan Chicken and Black Bean Salad over Zucchini Noodles
The weather is finally getting milder and the huge mountains of snow are starting to melt. It’s been in the 40s the past two days but the nights are still really cold, in the 20s. I have been craving salads lately and I plan to make them for dinner but by the time I get […]
Vegan “Pollo” Escabeche with a Review of Pearls Olives
When I was a kid, I loved black olives. My mother would put them in our salads and I would take them and put my fingers into the holes of the pitted olives. Then I would eat them off my fingers. Doesn’t every kid do this? I would munch all the olives so that by […]

Qrunch Green Chile Burgers with Yellow Rice and Roasted Vegetable Medley Topped with Jalapeno Pepper Mayo
Over the years I have developed about a dozen vegan burger recipes – partly because I love burgers and partly because there aren’t many prepared vegan burgers that I like enough to buy. To me, most of them don’t have a lot of flavor and the texture leaves a lot to be desired. And finding […]
Tempeh "Fish" Tacos, Zesty Lime Corn and Other Ideas for Cinco de Mayo
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo. What will you be serving with your margaritas? Here are my suggestions and some new recipes. There is no better meal than brunch. Breakfast and lunch all mixed together. No food is right or wrong. I love it. Start the day with my Mexican Sunday Brunch feast (even if it’s […]
Butternut Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas with Mango-Avocado Salsa
Every time I go to the supermarket, I’m tempted to buy another butternut squash. Then it sits in the kitchen while I debate what to do with it. Another soup? A side dish? Roast it? Mash it? There can never be enough recipes that use butternut squash. So here is another one. I decided to […]
