  • Marineland

    “A dolphin’s smile is their greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they are always happy.” -Richard O’Barry I have been loosely following the Marineland Animal Defense (M.A.D.) campaign since I met Dylan Powell of Vegan Police and many other righteous endeavors back at a conference in March. People have been protesting Marineland in Niagara […]

  • Green Lentil Soup

    In the words of Dead Prez in the classic vegetarian anthem, Be Healthy, “Lentil soup is mental fruit.” I couldn’t agree more! The quintessential fall/winter soup is lentil soup. Lentils are packed with protein and dietary fiber and do not have to be soaked prior to cooking (unlike other dry legumes). I based my latest […]

  • Baked Acorn Squash, Braised Greens, & Corn

    Nothing says fall like acorn squash! This has become our most beloved squash whether baked simply or stuffed with a hearty filling. Most of the ingredients for this autumn supper came from our CSA or the Ithaca Farmers Market. I also tried to replicate a dish from one of our favorite restaurants, Just a Taste. […]

  • Chipotle Tofu Sandwich

    Happy Vegan Month of Food! This is my second year participating in the world famous Vegan MoFo and I hope to keep up with my pace from last year (30 posts in 30 days), but am not sure with traveling and work that this will happen, but I’ll try my best! I wanted to start […]

  • Seitan Fajitas

    I wanted a simple summer meal to throw on the grill, while incorporating some green veggies and citrus notes. What sprang up from what already existed in my kitchen were these wonderful seitan fajitas! The lime juice and marinade, along with the fresh cilantro gave this meal an extra kick. Seitan Fajitas 1 package of […]

  • Arugula salad with lime-cilantro dressing, spicy black beans, & grilled corn

    This meal was inspired by my desire to use fresh veggies from my CSA share and local legumes and corn. I also want to start focusing on making my own dressings for salads. Using inspiration from several different lime-cilantro dressings I found online, I came up with this recipe. It makes approximately 1/2 cup of […]

  • Pousse-Pousse, Paris, France

    Whenever I run across a raw restaurant in my travels, I feel compelled to try it. Raw food often times is prepared very creatively in gourmet restaurants. Upon reading about Pousse-Pousse, a small vegetarian restaurant and juice bar with mostly raw and vegan selections, I was eager to try it. We took 4 connections on […]

  • Vegan Folie’s, Paris, France

    Finding vegan desserts anywhere, let alone in France, can be challenging at times. I was impressed to find an all vegan, organic bakery in Paris. Vegan Folie’s was located in the charming Mouffetard section of the city on a small, boutique-lined street. If we had more time during this visit, I would have loved to […]

  • L’As du Fallafel, Paris, France

    My husband is a bit of a falafel connoisseur and I read some great reviews of L’As du Fallafel on many sites. They are so famous, they even have a wikipedia page. We decided to get counter service, which was a littler cheaper than eating inside. The line moved quickly and efficiently. A waiter took […]

  • Saveurs Végét’Halles, Paris, France

    For our anniversary dinner in Paris, I wanted try Saveurs Végét’Halles, a vegetarian, mostly vegan restaurant based on some good reviews I read in online forums and websites like Happy Cow. We were able to get seated right away at the dinner hour and appreciated the nice, simple decorum and clean bathrooms (I know it […]
