One of my followers pointed out that the Ziggy Marley web site where the recipes for my Jamaican Vegan Feast were posted doesn’t seem to be active. She asked if I could post those recipes right here on The “V” Word and I said you bet! My review for Ziggy Marley Organics was written back […]

Vegan “Chicken” Meatballs
It’s been a busy summer and I’ve been neglecting writing up my recipes. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been cooking or creating new recipes; I just haven’t been good about writing them up and posting them. Today that changes because I promised some people that I would get this recipe up. Meatballs. Meatballs are sooo […]
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 […]
Super Green Rice with Veggies, Soy Curls and Dr. Mercola’s Organic Greens
A while ago, I received some really cool products from Dr. Mercola to review. You’ve probably heard of Dr. Mercola; he is the health guru and best-selling author of many books on nutrition and health. His web site is packed with articles on health, nutrition and ways we can improve our lives and health. He also […]
Cape Malay Curry with Turmeric Cinnamon Rice
The other day I was doing research for an article on how to cook with African flavors. That’s one of the hot food trends this year and I couldn’t be more excited. I love the bold flavors of African cuisine and it’s so diverse from region to region, that I know there are a lot […]
Asian Soy Curl Salad
This is my new favorite salad. If I could only ever have one kind of salad again for the rest of my life, it would be this one. First of all, it’s the prettiest salad I’ve ever made. It’s filled with all different colors from the greens, the red cabbage, the carrots, the red onions […]
Pumpkin Rotini with Mushrooms and Punk Rawk Labs Smoked Cashew Cheese
A scientist, a record store owner and a nutritionist walk into a kitchen…sounds like the beginning of a joke but instead it’s actually the beginning of a great company called Punk Rawk Labs. Punk Rawk Labs is a woman-owned, Minnesota-based company formed in 2010. It was created when one of the founders, Alissa, had a […]
Greek Lemon Soy Curls and Potatoes
Last night I was trying to think of what to make for dinner. When I can’t decide, I try to narrow it down – which ethnicity? which ingredients? comfort food or healthy? saucy or not sauce? Yesterday, I was feeling like Butler Foods soy curls but not saucy. Not a stew or soup. I wanted […]
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 […]
Vegan Pepper Steak with Homemade Rice-a-Roni
So many of the recipes I develop happen because I crave my mother’s cooking. All of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, this craving hits me and it’s powerful. It engages all my senses – I’m back in the kitchen and I can see her food on the stove, smell the delicious aroma, hear […]
Buffalo Soy Curls Mac & Cheese with Soy Curls Crumble
This recipe is my Ode to Soy Curls. Butler Soy Curls are one of my favorite products. I remember the first time someone told me about them – she warned me they were addicting. Well, I have been hooked for years. Soy curls are one of the most versatile products out there. You can […]
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 […]
Butler Soy Curls Review and Recipes: Buffalo Soy Curls
As my followers know, the food I thought I “couldn’t live without” was chicken. My father used to say I ate so much chicken that one day I would sprout feathers. When I gave up meat, I wasn’t sure how I was going to survive without chicken. Over the years, however, I have learned […]
