As every girl, I too have dreams. And one of them was to be able to eat delicious raw & vegan food in a fancy, elegant, sophisticated restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, we do have vegan restaurants in my city, but they are just not fancy enough for what I had in mind. So, I [...]

Saturday night I had white bean meatballs at Haven.  Sunday I was obsessed. I needed to make my own. JL’s Spicy White Bean-TVP “Meatballs” Makes 10 – 12 meatballs PRINT RECIPE Ingredients 1 and 1/2 cup cooked (or canned) white beans (I cooked my beans in the rice cooker with a clove of minced garlic, [...]

This is my second post reviewing Rudi’s Organic Bread and I’m happy to report that today’s loaf is vegan (the Harvest Seeded bread I reviewed yesterday resulted in a vegan “oops” — be sure to check out the honest and compassionate comments). I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to try the [...]

I’m not much of a tempeh fan but Christy’s recipe has converted me. The marinade is a blend of sweet and savory ingredients that made my house smell divine as it baked!  The tempeh was delicious hot out of the oven and I imagine it would be equally delicious cold and crumbled over a salad. [...]

I feel I should explain how this meal came together. I like to prep food in bulk over the weekend. I cook up one or two types of beans and I tend to make one big batch of mixed grains.  I make a couple of loaves of bread. Why?  Because I pack lunch and snacks [...]

I’m a sucker for the basic beans, greens and grains vegan meal. For this dish I opted to use coconut oil with the black beans because I thought it would really complement the parsnip — and it did! It’s a sweet and spicy flavor that just works.  The brown rice kasha is a perfect side [...]

In my last Portland post I brought you up to speed on the first couple days of our trip.  Sunday I was in workshops all day for Vida Vegan Con, and as a result, I was totally wiped out that evening.  So we ended up just wandering around the neighborhood near the hotel (which is [...]

Ryan and I got to Portland Friday morning, and after an early check-in, some unpacking and map-studying, we hit the ground running.  We started at Hungry Tiger Too and had some nachos and tofufuffalo wings (tofu buffalo wings).  Ryan was able to kick off his craft beer tour of Portland, and I was in heaven [...]

We had some friends over for dinner this past weekend, and I thought it would be fun to make breakfast for dinner.  Fortunately, they were totally up for it, and not even knowing that we were planning on making mimosas, they brought me some non-alcoholic champagne!  Needless to say, I was very happy about that.  [...]
