Whenever we go out for a long drive or need to run errands we know we have to bring along some snacks because it’s hard to find healthy, vegan snacks out there. Even at the college where I teach, there is little to choose from. The vending machines are filled with chips, cookies and […]

Qrunch Green Chile Burgers with Yellow Rice and Roasted Vegetable Medley Topped with Jalapeno Pepper Mayo
Over the years I have developed about a dozen vegan burger recipes – partly because I love burgers and partly because there aren’t many prepared vegan burgers that I like enough to buy. To me, most of them don’t have a lot of flavor and the texture leaves a lot to be desired. And finding […]
Gluten-Free Cookies For Santa: Chocolate Hazelnut Drop Cookies and Chai Spice Cookies
Did you hear the news about Santa? If the word on the strip mall circuit is correct, Santa has gone gluten-free! Apparently, all the flour from all the cookies all these years has taken a toll on his intestines. Maybe Santa’s round belly is filled with more bloating gases than jelly. I also hear that […]
Vegan Calamari in a Scampi Sauce with Peppers and Olives and Sophie’s Kitchen Review
I came to like eating fish later in life. Other than frozen fish sticks, I just never liked eating fish. Later, however, I came to love eating shrimp, salmon, catfish, sole, and calamari. I remember the first time I ate calamari. Sitting in a restaurant, I was munching away on the fried, breaded rings, […]
Cheesy Rice with Broccoli and Vegan Gourmet Cheese
As many of you know, I didn’t cook much before I became vegan. Most of my meals were take-out or eaten out. When I did cook, my version of “homemade” involved a lot of boxes and envelopes. My vegetables were the frozen kind that came with the little packet of sauce. My mashed potatoes […]

Product Review: So Delicious Culinary Coconut Milk and Pasta in Lemon-Coconut Cream Sauce
It seems that every time I get really excited about a new vegan product, it’s made by So Delicious. I’ve always loved their yogurt, I could live on their frozen desserts, I’m addicted to their new cashew milk and their seasonal coconut milks make me wish it was autumn all year long! Now So […]
Product Review: Wholesome Chow Baking Mixes and a Recipe!!
Remember when I hated baking? If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably remember. I don’t like to measure when I cook and I have limited patience but I keep at it because I’m stubborn. And truth be told, the more I bake, the less I hate it. I’m getting […]
Product Review: Beyond Eggs for Cookies and Just Mayo (and a recipe!)
There are 2 new products from Hampton Creek Foods that are going to change the way we eat and cook: Beyond Eggs for Cookies and Just Mayo. If there was ever a vegan product that I have been waiting for, it’s one that replaces eggs. Usually, I use flaxseed to replace eggs in baking […]
