I do not like peanut butter and jelly. Nope, never have, never will. It’s probably because I don’t have a sweet tooth. I do, however, love peanut butter and cream cheese. When I was in grade school, every Friday the cafeteria would be closed for the upcoming Shabbos and each classroom would get a tray […]

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 […]
Product Review: Broccoleaf and a recipe for Jamaican (Ital) Soy Curls Curry with Broccoleaf
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 […]
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 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 […]
