  • Gentle Gourmet Cafe, Paris, France

    We had the pleasure of spending our two year wedding anniversary in Paris while on a family vacation. We went off on our own to explore the city and I was determined to eat at vegetarian or vegan establishments on this day. Luckily for me, I was able to find a plethora of reviews and […]

  • Le Speakeasy, Nice, France

    We recently were in France, visiting my husband’s family and sightseeing in the French Riviera and Paris. I was nervous about traveling to France, assuming I would be able to find little to eat vegan-wise. While I did mostly eat salad, cheese-less pizzas, baguettes, and vegan croissants, we were able to explore a few gems […]

  • Corn Fritters with Sweet Chili Sauce, Black Beans, Beets, & Collard Greens

    Finding a new recipe that coincides with a beloved treat such as corn fritters is true bliss! We had recently enjoyed corn fritters from Macro Mamas at the Ithaca Farmers Market. I thought I’d surprise the man by making them homemade when I stumbled upon this amazing recipe for corn fritters with homemade sweet chili […]

  • Spicy Red Chickpeas, Collard Greens, & Corn on the Cob

    A simple, yet favorite go-to meal in our house is any type of beans and greens medley. I experimented with some spices and vegetables on hand to make this chickpea dish. I was originally planning on adding hot sauce but didn’t need to because the dish was spicy enough on its own. Using a very […]

  • Swiss Chard & Carrot Strudel

    When you are in the mood for some greens and flaky puff pastry, have no fear, Nava Atlas is here! Using her Kale and Carrot Strudel recipe from Vegan Holiday Kitchen, I replaced the kale with swiss chard. I also used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheets, which are accidentally vegan. I put Daiya cheddar shreds […]

  • Whiskey Sour Cupcakes

    Another cupcake testing, another success! Here is the latest cupcake creation we tested for Kelly Peloza‘s upcoming dessert cookbook. This cupcake was moist, delicious, and buttery. It had a nice blend of lemon with hints of whiskey. For whiskey aficionados more could have been added, but for me the current level was fine. It was […]

  • Red Quinoa-Avocado Salad with Grilled Asparagus

    Last year at a work potluck, someone brought one of the most amazing salads I have ever had the pleasure of passing across my lips. I kept returning for more until it was gone and proceeded to ask the chef for her recipe. She divulged that the Red Quinoa-Avocado Salad that I feasted on came […]

  • Navy Bean Salad, Lemon Pepper Broccoli, & Irish Soda Bread

    Buying dried beans in bulk has been a secret pleasure of mine the past few months. It is a cheaper and healthier way of getting the protein punch and helps me to become more creative with my meal planning. I usually soak the beans the night before I want to use them, cook them 1-2 […]

  • BBQ Tofu, Grilled Kale, & Taboule Salad

      The weather is really starting to warm up, so some pre-summer grilling was in order. Dinner encapsulated some old and new favorites: grilled BBQ tofu, grilled kale, and a taboule salad. The tofu was extra firm with just a light spraying of olive oil and a moderate sprinkling of Dinosaur BBQ Cajun Foreplay Spice […]

  • St. Patrick’s Day Vegan-Style

    Finding alternatives for a meat-free St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t difficult. I was never a corned beef fan in my pre-vegan days anyway, so finding a substitute for salty beef was not necessary. I decided to stick with mostly whole foods and forgo any faux meat products for this year’s feast. While listening to Flogging Molly […]
