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 […]

Vegan and Gluten-Free Tomato and Garlic Foccacia
I was in the mood to bake but I didn’t want anything sweet. My savory side always wins. I made a foccacia with tomatoes, garlic and herbs. If you have never had foccacia, it’s a thick bread that is similar to Sicilian pizza. It can be made plain or it can have other ingredients stuffed […]
Garlic and Ginger Soup with Udon Noodles (or Rice Noodles)
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 […]

Penne with Garlicky Spinach Pesto Sauce

Extreme Vegan Makeover: Tofu Piccata Edition
One of the best jobs I ever had was when I worked in an Italian restaurant. I was in med school and I desperately needed money for food and expenses. My father had just passed away and I was over my head in loans. When not studying, I spent a lot of my free time […]
