Today is the 3rd day of VeganMoFo, the month of vegan food. Since tomorrow night is Rosh Hashanah, I thought I would update the menu from last year. There are some very important new additions!!!

Summer is winding down and when I think back to the sweetest days, they all included So Delicious Dairy Free Frozen Desserts and Cashew Milk Beverages. Let me tell you how these amazing products turned this salty, crunchy girl into a sweet tooth this summer. Frozen Desserts I was never much of an ice […]
It took months and months and a gazillion attempts but I finally succeeded in making a delicious gluten-free and vegan challah. And just in time for Rosh Hashanah which is less than 2 weeks away. Mazel Tov! I was very excited when I came up with a recipe for vegan challah. It was light, […]
Before I was vegan, chicken was my favorite food and Buffalo wings were my obsession. Whenever I would go out to eat, I ordered Buffalo wings as an appetizer. Sometimes I would go out with friends after work to the local “wing joint” and we would order a platter of 40 or 60 wings. Did […]
Today is The “V” Word’s 4th birthday and it has been given the best gift EVER! A new home! Dave and Sian Graham of Vegan Web Design created and designed this beautiful web site for me. It was a lot of work especially working with someone like me who understood practically nothing about web design. […]
It’s getting near that time when people who are lucky enough to have vegetable gardens are overrun with squash and zucchini. Sadly, I’m not one of those people. However, I recently got a bunch of these adorable crock bowls with handles and I keep trying to think of different ways to use them. So far […]
You know how lots of people say they didn’t/don’t think they could live without cheese? Not me. Other than mozzarella and grated parmesan, cheese didn’t factor into my life that much. When I used to dream of becoming a vegetarian, I thought I couldn’t live without chicken, my favorite food. Wrong again. Turns out the […]
It has been 5 years since I began cooking vegan food and this is the first time I have ever used TVP. I had a bag of it sitting on the shelf but for some reason, I never tried it. So the other day I opened the bag and created one of the best burgers […]
Sugar snap peas are one of those vegetables I buy and then I’m not sure what to do with them other than putting them in a stir-fry or just munching them raw. They are a cute little bunch of pods and they hold up really well to cooking, keeping their crunch. Tom brought me home […]
I only tasted scallops once and they tasted like rubber. So I figured I didn’t like them. After watching many cooks make them on TV and screw them up, I realized that the one I had tasted wasn’t cooked well. Oh well… I made these vegan scallops for a friend who asked for a vegan version of […]
It has been 5 years since I stopped eating meat. Five years ago my freezer was filled with meat, my refrigerator held various cheeses and milk and eating out always meant meat-filled dishes. Five years ago I didn’t know one vegetarian and I had never even heard of the word “vegan.” So much […]
Today is the hottest day of the year so far, says the TV weatherman. I wouldn’t know except that Benny came back from his walk with his tongue hanging down by his feet. Now he is laying on the floor beside me, already asleep after his very short walk. Days like today call for meals […]
Here is the deal: I like the filling of pot pies better than the filling of Shepherd’s Pies. Shepherd’s pies usually have a ground “meat” filling. I made one of these using tempeh for my meaty filling in my Peaceful Shepherd’s Pie. Pot pies, on the other hand, usually have chunkier fillings of meat and […]
Chinese food is delicious. BBQ food is delicious. Here you get double the deliciousness because this is a Chinese BBQ burger. The burger is protein packed, nutty and flavorful topped with grilled veggies and a spicy sesame sauce. Just don’t try to eat it with chopsticks. Hoisin Black Bean Burgers with Spicy Sesame Sauce […]
The first time I ever had Indian food left quite an impression upon me. Not the food, but the experience. There was this amazing restaurant in Manhattan. It was called Nirvana and for me, at the tender age of 20 or so, it seemed just that. Nirvana was located across the street from Central Park. […]
Hi loyal “V”-Gang! I have a surprise for you! You all know that I have been working on my cookbook and you also know it’s been taking me a long time. Between my normal full-time job, being ill and trying not to get too down from my handful of rejections from publishers and agents, I […]
