Product Review: Patty Up Gourmet Meat Alternative
Often when people take meat out of their diet, they replace it with beans. If you’ve ever eaten veggie burgers or vegan meatloaf, it was probably made with some type of bean or legume. But not everyone can eat beans or just don’t like the taste of them. Well, there’s a product those people will […]
Vegan Tofu Veggie Pot Pie with Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuit Top
Everyone is talking about EatPastry cookie dough. It comes in 7 different flavors that you can bake into goodies or eat raw. Unfortunately, I can only live vicariously because no one sells it where I live. Everyone is not so fortunate to live near a Whole Foods supermarket. The company did send me their gluten-free […]
Product Review: The NEW Vega One and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe
The “V” Word did a product review back in September to tell you all about Vega and their products. Plus, I posted the very first smoothie recipe in the history of The “V” Word – a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. Well, I’m writing about Vega again because there is a brand New Vega One. Vega listened […]

As if I needed another reason to miss the city, it’s time for all the wonderful vegan restaurants to unveil their summer menus highlighting the beautiful bounty of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Product Review: Meatless Select Fishless Tuna and a Recipe for Vegan Crabby Cakes
When I received my cans of Meatless Select Fishless Tuna from Atlantic Natural Foods, I have to admit I hesitated. Fishless tuna? It seemed strange to me and I’m not quite sure why. After all, I eat and love vegan versions of chicken, beef, sausage, and other fishy-type foods like vegan shrimp and calamari. When […]
Product Review: Bee Free Honee and a recipe for Vegan Sweet and Sour “Chicken”
Oh, do I love Bee Free Honee! And I find it funny because I was never a fan of honey. When I was sick as a child, my mother would put it in my tea but other than that, I didn’t really like it. So when I became vegan, the fact that honey was […]
Vegan Apple Mini-Galettes and Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pie Crust Mix
“Easy as pie.” I’ve always had issues with this saying. Tom uses it a lot and it’s become a sort of bit between us. He says something is as “easy as pie” and I reply, “Pie is not easy!” Because to me, baking is not easy. While I am not as baking-challenged as I […]
Curried Pumpkin Soup with Apple Croutons and Pacific Foods Products Review
One of my favorite things about the colder seasons is making and eating lots of soup. Nothing warms you up better, inside and out, than holding a steaming bowl in your hands and spooning delicious, savory soup into your mouth. It’s warm, cozy and comforting. With Thanksgiving coming up, my cooking turns to all […]

“It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.” – Haile Selassie I miss a lot of things since moving upstate especially all the different types of food I used to be able to eat. Of all the cuisines I miss, the one I miss the most? Ital food! Not […]
Product Review: Vegan Cuts
Remember when you were a kid, how fun it was to get mail? It always meant something good – a letter from a friend at camp or a present from Grandma. As you got older, mail got a lot less fun – bills, advertisements, bills, junk, bills. Well, now the mail can be fun […]
Paint Creek Animal Rescue
Being a native New Yorker, when I hear Brooklyn, I think of the Bridge, Prospect Park and the many Vegan eateries in the borough across the river from Manhattan. However, lately I’ve been learning about a very special place in a different Brooklyn: Paint Creek Animal Rescue located in Brooklyn, Michigan. Paint Creek Animal Rescue […]
