A friend of mine recently commented on my “stush” food. Stush is a Jamaican word meaning “high-brow”. I was a little taken aback, because while I take great pride in my food, I often think of it as accessible and easily duplicable. So I questioned him about it. Turns out what makes my food “stush” to him are some of the unfamiliar ingredients. I’ll take that. For me, therein lies the beauty…
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.

The dog days of August are almost behind us and, as much we don’t want to think about it, summer is coming to an end. Labor Day is coming up, and soon boats and lawn furniture will start to be stored away. However, there’s still time for outdoor cooking (and, of course, many more months depending on where you live). Being vegan and hosting or attending barbecues doesn’t mean you have…
This Fourth of July, declare your independence from artery-clogging cheeseburgers, inhumane hot dogs, and carcinogenic chicken and have a healthy, humane vegan cookout. Charred meats can form cancer-causing chemicals called heterocyclic amines, or HCAs, and undercooked meats can cause food poisoning—and both cause animal suffering—so it’s better to cook up something kind and healthy, such as marinated vegetable kabobs, veggie burgers, or vegan barbecued chicken. Vegetables and mock meats, such as Gardein’s The Ultimate Beefless Burger, Beyond…

That’s perfect for a run and…

And if it’s a hot day, the temperature on the court is even hotter. There have been times where my feet feel like they are on fire (even though I have on shoes) due to the…
