Are you looking for an easy and delicious lunch idea that the whole family will love? Look no further. These vegan rainbow peanut noodle bowls are light and healthy, full of nutrients, and downright scrumptious. Back in the 90s, when my family first adopted a plant-based diet, vegan junk food wasn’t an option. Dairy-free milk…
Easy Vegan Potato Salad
Late spring is my favorite time of year for a lot of reasons–but especially because I get to enjoy time outside with my family. And, because time outside = food outside, it’s time to start exploring some vegan summer picnic foods! First up is this quick and easy potato salad that makes the perfect vegan…
Vegan Avocado Sour Cream
When we moved to the boonies of rural Maine a few years ago, one of the things that I really missed was easy access to some of my favorite vegan food products. I loved the texture of Tofutti better than sour cream, and mourned that I could no longer easily purchase it. I missed the…
Cranberry Pecan Kale Salad
One of the best things about this time of year is–of course–the food. In the last few weeks, I have scarfed down a variety of vegan delicacies like pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie, maple pecan pie bars, apple cinnamon rolls, date nut muffins, and Ben & Jerry’s caramel almond brittle vegan ice cream (SO yum!). People,…

To make a long story short, we purchased a house and made countless small (and some not-so-small) updates to said house, I started a part-time…
Black Bean Burrito Bowl
It’s been a very good day. My parents are visiting all the way from Maine for the weekend, and little M couldn’t be happier to have even more attention than usual. Probably little M’s greatest joy is that Grandma and Grandpa found a steal of a deal at some liquidation store and found a Melissa…
Asian-style Broccoli Cucumber Salad
You guys, it’s terrible. I haven’t posted in an entire week. Because of an odd cocktail of reasons, including (but not limited to) Jonathan’s crazy clinical schedules, a certain very active toddler, my job hunt, and the weather (for lighting/photography purposes), I have found less than ideal amounts of time each day to devote to…
Easy Vegan Chicken Salad
Guess what? Today is my first post for the Vegan Month of Food 2013! I know…I’m a few days late. Life has been….crazy. That’s my excuse. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, planning, more thinking and planning, and job hunting. Yep. I’m likely going to be picking up a part-time job as nurse…
