This soup is so flavorful that it doesn’t rely on bread to give it a nice punch. However, bread is definitely always a plus. This recipe really hits the spot when you’re in the mood for soup. I personally love soup all year round, but you can definitely beef this up a bit for winter or slim it down for summer if you would like. How to chop your onion…
One of the newest vegan products that we are super excited about is Cashew Milk Frozen Dessert from So Delicious® Dairy Free! We were lucky to be able to try it out for the first time at ExpoWest back in March, and we just couldn’t get enough. It’s got a texture so smooth and creamy, you won’t believe it’s non-dairy. And with 5 amazing flavors to choose from, this ice cream…
We all know that being vegan or vegetarian doesn’t necessarily mean eating healthy, and sometimes it’s tough to say no to all the sugary, fatty, processed foods. I know I can’t resist them, especially during the holidays. But now that the Easter festivities are over, it’s a good moment to put the chocolate eggs aside, and get back on the right track by eating more fresh foods. Whenever I start…
As a vegan, I often get asked “But…what do you EAT?” I’m sure it’s the same for all vegans. But for a new vegan, not only are they asked that, but they might also think that too! The best advice I have for new vegans is to keep it simple. And bowls are a simple way to think about food…as in breakfast bowls, lunch bowls and dinner bowls. All of…
The legendary Neil Robinson (the first professional vegan footballer in the world) is gathering a group of elite vegan athletes to participate in a cycling challenge. The cycling challenge is over 900 miles, from southern England to northern Scotland. The cycling challenge will raise money for charities and awareness for veganism at the same time. I recently caught up with Neil, and was able to talk to him about his…
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…
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.…
When most people think of creamy sauces, they usually imagine dairy milk, yoghurt or cream as an essential ingredient for a lip-lickin’, smooth buttery result. Seldom do people imagine… erm, cauliflower! Having eaten a plant-based diet for the best part of 20 years, I’ve developed a real passion for finding out what new dishes I can whip of from the most random vegetables. It turns out that cauliflower, especially when…
Nothing quite says Peru like ceviche. It’s quite common for Peruvians to eat ceviche for lunch on a hot day at the beach. So what is ceviche? Wikipedia describes ceviche as “a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of the Americas, especially Central and South America. The dish is typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with aji or chili peppers.”…
I made this ultra-delicious soup recently, when I hardly had anything in the pantry. You probably know that feeling. When you have to go grocery shopping, but don’t feel like it…and you wonder how you can whip together something with what little items you have in your pantry and fridge. This soup is so hearty, it’s really more filling like a stew. Potatoes, lentils, garlic, carrot and onion, cooked together…
VEGAN CARAPULCRA WILL MAKE YOU SING! If you read one of my previous posts (Vegan Dog Cookies with Love) then you know how much I like to rhyme. And if you didn’t read it, you’ll know soon enough…because I’ll be inserting rhymes in future articles, including this one! While cooking dinner the other night and singing the praises of what I was cooking, the song “Barracuda” came on the…

One thing I’ve noticed in my travels is people love their diner food. It’s a food craze you could say opposite of gourmet fancy pants food. We love our greasy spoons in America. 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…
