Vegan Loco Moco
We traveled to Hawaii this summer because I was presenting at a conference for work. I have heard great things about the vegan options there and was happy to explore the islands to find vegan food. I was extremely pleased with a vegan loco moco that I had at the Downbeat Diner in Honolulu. Loco […]

Late Summer Chili
With the cooler temperatures creeping up on us lately, it has put me in the mood for chili season. Trying to warm us up and incorporate some veggies we got in our CSA, I created this spicy and protein-packed chili! Including white beans (i.e. navy beans here) gives the chili another dimension that chili-lovers should […]

Baked Crispy Chickpea Seitan Patties
For the love of chickpeas, I had to make this recipe. My new favorite cookbook, The Great Vegan Bean Book by Kathy Hester featured a relatively easy recipe for these Baked Crispy Chickpea Seitan Patties. A few poultry-style spices, pureed chickpeas, and some vital wheat gluten, and you got yourself some mighty fine un-chicken patties! […]

Lemon Coconut Chickpea Muffins
As a collector of vegan cookbooks and a lover of beans, I was thrilled to get a copy of The Great Vegan Bean Cookbook by Kathy Hester. It is one of my newest favorites, easily. I was pleasantly surprised to see the many ways she incorporated beans into desserts and sweet dishes. As a lover […]

Vegan Treats
Being vegan can be a challenge for dessert lovers when traveling, at family functions, or birthday parties. It’s not very common that people are making cakes that happen to be vegan or that you can find vegan soft serve or doughnuts as easily as their non-vegan counterparts. However, once you step into the world of […]

Spicy Chickpea & Sauerkraut Salad
One upon a time, there was this bar/salad joint/froyo/kombucha place in Ithaca called Culture Shock. It specialized in fermented and gluten-free foods and tasty beverages. The salads, vegan frozen yogurt, and kombucha selections were awesome and creative. My latest salad creation was inspired by the now defunct restaurant. But never fear, Marian Flaxman, the former […]

Pizza Brain
One of the best things about originally being from New Jersey and having lived in Philadelphia as well, is knowing good pizza. The Philly/NJ/NYC area has many great Italian restaurants and pizzerias that I deeply miss when I’m in any other part of the country. So whenever we are back in NJ or Philly visiting […]

Avocado Chimichurri Bruschetta
One of the many perks about being in the Natural Kitchen Cooking School was the healthy and delicious snacks the staff would have out for us to munch on in between doing food prep or listening to a nutrition lecture. We always had delicious herbal teas, some of my favorites being genmaicha (brown rice) tea […]
