I don’t know where you live but here in Texas it’s blazing hot! Sure it’s easy to just turn on the air con but what is even better for cooling you off during the summer is to eat foods that are naturally cooling. It just so happens that the produce that flourishes in the summer are water-dense and help cool you off. Nature is really cool like that! Here are…
This is my most recent bow in the direction of my beloved Indian cuisine: tender black soy beans in a creamy golden sauce redolent of cardamom. I am decidedly not a fan of cardamom in most sweets, but I simply adore it in savory Indian dishes.

Vegan Southern-Style Cashew Cheese Grits with Kicked-Up Kale Yield: 4 servings By Betsy DiJulio I’m a southern girl who grew up eating grits on a weekly basis. In my pre-vegan days, cheese grits were a Sunday breakfast staple. But what is a vegan supposed to do? It is true that vegan block-style and shredded “cheeses” are continually improving in flavor, texture and melting point. But, I think they are…
One of my favorite aspects of cooking—and there are many—is coaxing unexpected flavors out of fruits and vegetables. Often, that transformation is a mere function of cooking method.

Thankfully, as vegans we have some tasty and healthier options available to us across the nation. Spiral Diner right here in Central Texas comes to mind, as well as the very popular Chicago Diner and Saturn Cafe…
