  • Garlic & Lemon Pasta with Arugula

    Vincent ‘Vinnie’ Antonelli: Arugula. I haven’t had arugula in six weeks. Supermarket Manager: What’s that? Vincent ‘Vinnie’ Antonelli: It’s a vegetable. -My Blue Heaven This is one of my favorite go-to recipes when I have a ton of arugula from my CSA (which I happen to have this week). I originally found this recipe submitted […]


  • Taste of Buffalo Review – Buffalo, NY

    Billed as the “largest two-day food festival in the United States,” we had to check out Taste of Buffalo on our way back home from Niagara Falls. The festival was set up with tons of food vendors, wine vendors, multiple stages with musicians, and more. Tickets were purchased in packs of 10 (which were $5 […]


  • Four Brothers Restaurant Review – Niagara Falls, ON

    Upon our visit to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, I was becoming quite dismayed to find any good vegan options close to our hotel. After becoming frustrated in a slow internet search from our hotel room, I decided just to walk the local streets and see what I could find along the way. We […]


  • Welcome Center Vegan Options – Niagara Falls, NY

    We spent 2 days in and around the Welcome Center right outside of the Niagara Falls State Park in New York this past weekend. I was worried that there may be little or no vegan options, but was pleasantly surprised to find 2 food carts outside of the Welcome Center and a tea bar vendor […]

  • Chocolate Red Wine Cupcakes with Red Wine Glaze

    Yet, another amazing recipe I just tested for Kelly Peloza’s new cookbook! As a fan of wine, I could not pass this one up. If you love a distinct, complex, rich tasting dessert — this is the one for you! The red wine glaze drizzled on top of the frosting really seals the deal on […]


  • Peanut Butter Cup Banana Smoothie Muffins

    I recently tested a new recipe for Kelly Peloza’s upcoming cookbook (which is centered around drink-inspired foods!) for Peanut Butter Cup Banana Smoothie Muffins. Let me just say that these things barely made it out of my kitchen for my hubby to bring to work! The kitchen filled with the aroma somewhere between banana bread […]


  • Welcome to the Tuxedo Cat!

    I’ve been Facebooking, tweeting, and generally sharing my love for vegan food and animal rights for awhile now. People are always asking more details about the food I make or how to become vegetarian or vegan. My hope one day is to open a vegan bed and breakfast. I’ve been honing my vegan baking and […]
