  • Strawberry Banana Smoothie Waffles

    I recently made these yummy waffles to test out a new recipe in an upcoming cookbook by Kelly Peloza. The directions were easy to follow and if you are a fan of fruity waffles, this one is for you! The only downside was the waffles were a bit heavy (esp. for a summer breakfast), but […]

  • Hot night, cool dinner

    In a recent short heat wave we had, we were invited to a good friend’s house for an amazing vegan dinner. Even though the temperature was hot, the meal was a cool, refreshing respite from the heat. We started off the night with a delicious and tangy homemade lemonade. We then had kalamata olive crostini […]

  • Vegan Quesadillas

    Another simple and quick lunch idea that I make on occasion are vegan quesadillas. Using Daiya cheese (and in this meal, I opted for the new pepperjack flavor), you can get the desired melt factor one typically thinks of with quesadillas. It is very easy to make. Throw a tortilla (I usually use whole wheat) […]

  • Purity Ice Cream, Ithaca, NY

    One of my favorite things about living where I do is the abundance of places where I can get vegan ice cream. I’m not kidding when I say that I have most of the local ice cream shops programmed into my phone, so I can call in a moment’s notice to ask what their vegan […]

  • Black bean & kale soft tacos

    A friend recently asked me what I usually made for lunch. This got me to ponder what I actually eat (since most of the time I focus on making hearty meals for dinner). Most of the time I eat leftovers from dinner from the night before. I decided to start documenting the times though that […]

  • Beet burgers, kale chips, & mango sorbet with berries

    When we were on a recent trip, we stopped in Columbus, OH at Northstar Cafe in Short North, which is known for their awesome veggie burger (just made of beets, black beans, and brown rice). It is so good, even omnis rave about it all over Yelp (see their reference to the Northstar Burger). I […]

  • Cucumber & Chickpea Salad with Grilled Napa Cabbage

    Still having a lot of chickpeas leftover from the other night, as well as some CSA produce, I decided to whip together another tasty summer meal. Here is my own recipe for a simple cucumber & chickpea salad. My omni husband said it was “surprisingly filling!” Cucumber & Chickpea Salad 2 small cucumbers, sliced 2 […]

  • Swiss Chard with Garbanzo Beans & Fresh Tomatoes

    Having an abundance of swiss chard and other yummy veggies left from my CSA share this past week, I thought it would be a good idea to have a delicious and nutritional meal using my produce. I found an amazing and simple recipe at allrecipes.com for this delightful summer meal. I made some minor additions,  […]

  • Mexican Lasagna

    I had been craving Mexican food lately and love making lasagna, so I thought I’d look for some recipes online to make this happen. I found an interesting recipe for Mexican Lasagna by Rachael Ray that looked easy to veganize. And yes, many recipes, unless they include a bloody steak, can be veganized. I made […]

  • Good Groceries Review – Watkins Glen, NY

    Watkins Glen is a good 45 minutes or so from my house, so if I’m traveling there, I’m out to make it worthwhile. The main reason for my most recent trip to Watkins Glen was to stop at Good Groceries, a natural foods grocery store that has been around since 1999. I wanted to pick […]
