Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review
I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time. I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog. But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat. So I’ve been waiting. And now it’s finally time!

Chocolate Tofu Pudding
Alright, I’ve seen these recipes for pudding made with tofu for soooooo long and have always been too scared to try them. I don’t really know why. There’s nothing in them that I dislike. It just has kind of freaked me out a bit. But I decided it’s finally time. And although many…

Creamy Vegetable Bolognese Pasta
This is the first recipe I vegan-ized after my vegan switch! It is a brilliant tasty recipe for vegetable bolognese sauce from the lovely Giada DeLaurentiis. And veganizing it is super-simple – just swap some Tofutti cream cheese for the mascarpone cheese the recipe calls for, leave out the parm, and you have…

Why isn’t my page covered in some kind of red white and blue dessert or drink right now? Why the lack of patriotic colors, you ask? Cause I know, napkins don’t count. Well, truthfully, my mind just kept drawing a blank when it came to tri-colored goodies to celebrate today. Sure, I thought of…

Recipe Review | Vegan Crab Cakes
OMG these are so good! But I didn’t change a single thing in this recipe, so I’m calling it a recipe “review.” I got this recipe from the Skinny Bitch cookbook – Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. I just can’t believe how delicious they are. Not the healthiest thing on this blog, but so worth…

Szechuan Green Beans
My absolute favorite way to eat green beans (well, to eat lots of things really) is stir fried in oil and yummy rich Chinese-y sauce. Who doesn’t love that?! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to make a healthy version of stir-fried vegetables. Enter Szechuan green beans! This is adapted from a recipe in my book…

Honey Nut Tempeh
This recipe is very special to me! I grew up baking a lot, but really didn’t start cooking until the end of college. This Rachael Ray recipe for honey nut chicken was the first thing I taught myself to make; and I made it repeatedly. On the side, I’d make a plain pile of…
