You’ll Fall in Love with this Vegan Valentine’s Day Menu

Making these menus is always harder for me than you might think. There are so many delicious recipes on The “V” Word, that it’s difficult to narrow it down to just a few for a menu. It’s much easier to make mix-and-match menus with tons of suggestions but is that really much different than you […]

Product Review: Broccoleaf and a recipe for Jamaican (Ital) Soy Curls Curry with Broccoleaf

I love reviewing new vegan products and spreading the word about all the wonderful vegan items on the market. The one thing I usually don’t get to review, however, is vegetables. Well, not fresh vegetables, anyway. Most products are foods that come in jars, bags and boxes. Plus, I don’t usually think about vegetables as […]

Product Review: Chic Naturals Chickpea Snacks

There are a lot of reasons to love Hawaii – the beautiful islands, the gorgeous oceans, the friendly people and rich culture – but here is another reason: it’s where Chic Naturals is based.

Orange Balsamic BBQ Tempeh and Cheesy Chickpea Polenta

The other night I have a craving for BBQ. Whenever I make BBQ, I want mashed potatoes on the side. But I was out of potatoes. Then I thought polenta would be good but I didn’t have any cornmeal or polenta either. 🙁 I was getting ready to think up something else for dinner when […]

Spanish Cheesy Wheat Berries with Veggies and Jovial Foods Organic Einkorn Wheat Berries

Even after 6 years of being vegan and writing hundreds and hundreds of recipes, there are still foods I have never tried. It’s hard to believe but true. So many people think they will be deprived on a plant-based diet but the truth is, before I was vegan, I ate the same things over and […]

Curried Tofu and Butternut Squash Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Spicy Vegan Feta Aioli

  Every time I get a butternut squash, I agonize over what to do with it. It is my favorite of all the winter squashes because it’s not as sweet as the others. I love the creaminess of this squash and it is so versatile which is why I struggle over what to do with […]

There are 3 things I love: tofu, putting slaw on sandwiches and anything Buffalo-flavored. I have said it before and I’ll say it again: I would eat my shoe if it had Buffalo sauce on it. Over the years, I have made and posted the recipes for: Buffalo Tofu Fries Buffalo Lentil Burger “Chicken-Fried” Seitan […]

VeganMoFo #19: Vegan Products I Love – More on The Vegg Baking Mix

I already reviewed The Vegg Baking Mix last week and shared a recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies. Since writing that post, I used The Vegg Baking Mix to make Challah and Challah Rolls for Rosh Hashanah. Well, the Challah is for Rosh Hashanah tonight but the rolls were for last night. They were the softest, […]
