  • White Bean, Spinach, & Sweet Potato Burrito

    Wanting a quick, but tasty and healthy dinner one night, I decided to throw together some white beans, sauteed spinach, and sweet potato with some garnishes and sauces and came up with this creation. It was a wonderful combination and the cilantro, salsas, and sour cream helped to finish out the flavors. White Bean, Spinach, […]

  • Potato-Leek & Carrot Soup with Lemon & Dill

    I recently started a vegan chef culinary program with Natural Kitchen Cooking School in my beloved former state of New Jersey. One of our homework assignments for the month was to make a recipe out of You Won’t Believe It’s Vegan! by Lacey Sher and Gail Doherty, former owners of New Jersey’s first organic vegan […]

  • Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Meyer Lemon, Arugula, & Pistachios

    One of my dear friends, Rachel always accommodates me with some of the best vegan food when she invites us over for dinner parties. It’s a rare gem of a friend who goes out of her way to be so considerate and isn’t afraid to venture into the vegan-foray food-wise. My friend also has a […]

  • Three Bean Chili

    In the colder months, one of my favorite meals to make is chili. I have even gone so far as to buy a vegetarian chili cookbook, but I always come back to this basic recipe based off of my Mom’s Crockpot Chili. I decided for this latest version of my mom’s veganized chili, I would […]

  • Baked Apples

    In the process of trying to come up with a gluten-free, healthier alternative for fall dessert for friends who were health conscious, I decided to give baked apples a try. There are many recipes out there, but I settled up this Baked Apples recipe on Simply Recipes for my fruit fix. Not being a huge […]

  • Navy Bean Soup

    A hearty soup with white beans is always comforting and welcome when the fall weather finally hits. This soup was based on the My Healthy Eating Habits blog recipe for Wicked Vegan White Beans. I used some dried navy beans that I soaked overnight and then boiled in water for a couple of hours. I […]

  • Hummus, tomato, & basil pizza

    After hearing about an amazing hummus vegan pizza from a now defunct Canadian restaurant, I decided to try my hand at this hummus-style pizza. Instead of using vegan cheese or even red sauce, I slathered the base of a cornmeal store-bought crust, with homemade pesto. Then I generously spread store-bought hummus as my “cheese” over […]

  • Fried Green Tomatoes & Green Beans, Spicy Chickpea Casserole, & Corn

    After getting several green tomatoes and green beans from our CSA, I decided to go on a frying spree. Using this recipe from blogger Bianca Phillips from Vegan Crunk, featured on One Green Planet, I made some of the most amazing fried green tomatoes. Having grown up part of my childhood in the South and […]

  • Hot Cinnamon Quinoa with Nuts & Berries

    Instead of the traditional hot cereal breakfasts, such as oatmeal, I felt compelled and inspired to try something different after stumbling upon this Warm and Nutty Quinoa Recipe from 101 Cookbooks. I omitted the non-dairy milk in my most recent time making it and used walnuts instead of pecans. I also used blueberries and strawberries […]

  • Spaghetti & Tofu Balls

    I’ve owned the beloved cookbook Tofu Cookery by Louise Hagler since my beginning days of vegetarianism. While I’ve had the cookbook for years, I only recently made the tofu balls that so many PPKers, particularly Isa Chandra Moskowitz herself, raves about. I didn’t have regular peanut butter, so I used the chunky version I had […]
