Sometimes writing about food is not easy. Okay, writing about food is almost never easy for me. The question spinning around in my head right now (which is pretty typical for me) is this: “What on earth do I say about this vegan potato soup???!!!!” The question starts as a soft and quiet whisper from…
Vegan Caesar salad
It’s been way, way too long since I’ve posted. I could give you a long detailed explanation of what has been making me so lazy lately, but I’ll just keep it short and simple: Rain. I don’t know what it is about rain, but it makes me want to curl up on the couch with…
Lentil Lettuce Tacos
Is it just me, or is there something crazily addicting about lettuce? I’m not talking about just any lettuce. I mean the crunchy, crispy, almost sweet, makes-you-feel-amazing, and maybe-it’s-Romaine lettuce. If your name is Jonathan (a.k.a. Hubby), your lettuce addiction drives you to raid the fridge after a meal, just so you can stuff a…
Vegan Tofu Quinoa Patties
I don’t know what it is about sandwiches, but I love ’em. Back when I worked long hours at the hospital, Jonathan made the most amazing sandwiches to go in our lunches. Knowing that I would soon sink my fangs into a big juicy sandwich like this is what kept me going. (By the way,…

This vegan roasted vegetable lasagna is one of my favorites. AND, the garlic is the star of the show. In honor of Jonathan, the most wonderful garlic addict of a husband in the world, I haphazardly tossed 2 cloves of garlic into the veggies to be roasted for this lasagna. It smelled heavenly and tasted…
Vegan Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
It’s time for a reality check. The kind that you may not want to hear. Earlier today, I was reading a women’s fitness blog. You know, the kind where beautifully lean and perfectly-fit-even-though-I’ve-birthed-10-kids (exaggeration, but you get the point) women share their workouts and recipes with the world wide web. Don’t get me wrong. I…
Carob Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Treats Revisited
Note: Back when I first started this blog, I made a batch of these to share with you. Wanna see that post? See how my food photography has improved (not perfect, but better!) :) Once upon a time, when I was a youngin’ (a.k.a. under 18), my family job was to make dessert Friday afternoon…
Vegan Baked Chickpea Burgers
What is it about burgers that makes us want to celebrate? Is it the crispy, yet tender patty? The sweet and juicy tomato? The crunchy lettuce (or, if you’re like me, kale)? Then comes the moment of truth. All the cheese, grease, and meat in traditional hamburgers make the popular party sandwich a heart attack…
