Whilst working diligently on my new recipe book, I just had to stop and share one of the latest tasty treats as it emerges from my kitchen – because I know how excited most of us get at the thought of consciously created cookies! These cookies are naturally gluten-free using oats, ground almonds and desiccated coconut (although if you are allergic to gluten, be sure that your oats haven’t been…
So, I have a new favorite squash. Kabocha. Man is it good. It’s a squash for non-squash lovers. If you have been on the fence about squash, or downright just don’t like it…try Kabocha. The texture, consistency and taste of Kabocha is that of a sweet potato. Kabocha is high in beta carotene and fiber, and the skin is completely edible, so you don’t have to peel it (definitely an added…
Here’s a super savory pizza recipe I’ve adapted from The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. It bursts with fall flavors, is vegan and gluten-free, and best of all is easy to prepare! Enjoy!

It seems like an eternity since I made my first raw carrot cake, some 15 years ago. A small group (4 of us) formed the ‘Raw Pudding Club’ – we’d gather before lunch, all bringing the most delicious raw desserts (with an occasional salad on the side 😉 ). We’d spend 12 hours straight indulging, chatting, learning, laughing, crying and inspiring one another with anything from food to optimal health…
Now that fall is here, it seems the appropriate time to start making soup again. As much as I love homemade soup, I never make it until the weather turns cold. It’s nice to sit in front of a fire, and eat a bowl of steaming soup with crusty warm bread. Here’s my recipe for Creamy Mushroom Barley Soup, made even more “buenisimo” with the addition of Garlic Cashew Cheese.…
It’s that time of year when all the major sports teams – NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB – are on TV. This means it’s time for mindless eating while freakishly fit people entertain us. I never thought I would be able to each nachos again and then I discovered cashew cheese. Nachos are all about the cheese. I admittedly don’t like a lot of the traditional nacho toppings, so we…
I woke up one morning recently to begin my day as always and there was a chill in the air, almost a cool fall chill. I even had little goose bumps on my skin telling me I was cold. I peered out the window and watched the breeze blow off golden yellow and red leaves from the once vibrant green trees of summer to the ground. I looked down to…
I love avocados. But I have to say, I like my avocados on the firm side. When they get too soft, I don’t love them as much. I developed this recipe for avocados that have become too soft to cut up and use in recipes…(but yet haven’t turned brown). This sauce is a cinch to make and only has a few ingredients. Here are some ideas on how to use the…

When it comes to lunch, I would rather bring something into the office than leave for an hour and spend more money. Since I’m frugal and plant-based, there are only so many options within a five-mile radius of my office. If I’m really in a pinch for time during my rush of leaving the house in the morning, I’ll take a quick five minutes to toss together this recipe. This…
Fall happens to be a favorite time of year for many people. The fall colors, cooler weather and warm fires make for cozy evenings. However, for me that’s not the case. Fall signifies the loss of summer and the warm, wonderful weather that I love. But, fall does have its pluses. And one of the pluses that I absolutely love is the bounty of winter squash. At my local Farmer’s…
At Washington DC’s annual DC Veg Fest on September 20, 2014 the Cows met up with radio personality, author and actress Robin Quivers. Ms. Quivers has been vegan since 2007. She uses HappyCow to find vegan restaurants when she travels. In her new book, The Vegucation of Robin: How Real Food Saved My Life, Ms. Quivers provides us with 90 delicious vegan recipes, and describes how she vastly improved her…
Many of the savory recipes in my cookbook call for the addition of veggie stock. Vegetable stock or broth adds another level of depth and flavor to just about any dish. Not all purchased broths are the same…they vary widely in quality and flavor. I am really picky about how my dishes taste, and my favorite so far is Organic Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base. So a few days ago, I…
