A couple months ago, I asked my readers to tell me their secrets to making their vegan cooking extraordinary. I loved all of the comments I got! There were some that were suggested by many people and there were some others that were so good I just had to share. I’ve also included a couple [...]

A Day Trip to Farm Sanctuary

I am vegan for the animals.  Every choice I make is done so in an effort to make life better for animals on this planet.  Sometimes this drive is like a full-fledged bonfire, but sometimes life gets hectic or my mind gets clouded with other things and it dwindles down to just a flame.  The [...]

Garlic Parmesan Tempeh Wings

About 9 years before I became vegan, I became a vegetarian. I didn’t eat a ton of meat before that.  Mostly chicken.  Some turkey.  And it was always just grilled in my George Foreman grill.  No craziness like buffalo wings or BBQ ribs.  No red meat or pork at all, actually.  I always kind of [...]

Awhile back, Alicia Silverstone did a post about her top 20 ingredients she couldn’t live without.  Soon after, Cadry shared her list and Bobbie shared hers.  Because list-making is one of my most favorite things in the world, I couldn’t pass this opportunity up to make a list of things my vegan kitchen is never [...]

Chickpeas & Confessions: The Love Affair Begins

“If you love it so much why don’t you marry it?”  Sound familiar?  It’s a phrase muttered by children on playgrounds everywhere.  Some obnoxious and/or drunk adults can even be heard using the phrase in what usually ends up being a somewhat awkward situation.  It’s also a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.

Basic Baked Tofu & Quinoa

By keepinitkind On September 19, 2012 · 15 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Kid Tested & Approved, Recipes, Vegan Tips

Tofu and Quinoa.  I think we could safely call tofu and quinoa staples in most vegan kitchens.  They are both inexpensive, versatile, and viable sources of plant-based nutrition.  Having a simple recipe for both of these items is a valuable resource for any vegan, and Chris and I use them often. Up until now, the [...]

Asian Pear & Lemon Cucumber Salad with Rosemary Molasses Tempeh Bits

Before we joined our CSA, we stuck to buying the same fruits and vegetables, week after week.  Even at the farmer’s market, if I had time to go, I knew which items I wanted and stuck to those.  I didn’t bother trying to learn what those “mystery greens” or what that “unidentifiable tubular-shaped vegetable” was.

Mango Peppercorn Glazed Tempeh Salad with Balsamic Blackberry Chia Dressing

By keepinitkind On August 8, 2012 · 21 Comments · In Entreés, Gluten-Free, Recipes, Salad, Sauces, Dips & Dressings, Vegan Tips

I know there are people out there who do not care for tempeh.  People who even strongly dislike tempeh.  I’d always been on the fence about it.  I have always liked it in small pieces and heavily marinated, the end product being hidden inside a wrap or a taco shell.  I like when restaurants do [...]

Easy Cheezy Pizza

I had prepared to share my opinion of the recent USDA decision to not promote Meatless Mondays.  As I was writing, however, I felt that I was getting preachy, and I hate it when I get preachy.   I was upset for a number of reasons, but what concerned me the most was how this [...]

Chilla (Chickpea Omelet) with Maple-Roasted Cheezy Broccoli

By keepinitkind On June 20, 2012 · 23 Comments · In Breakfast & Brunch, Entreés, Gluten-Free, Pinspiration, Recipes, Vegan Tips

Broccoli and I used to be on not such great terms.  It wasn’t as bad as my past relationship with grapefruit, but I generally just avoided it.  After becoming vegan, I decided to bring more broccoli into my life (grapefruit could stay out, as far as I was concerned).  My search for broccoli recipes led [...]

When we first became vegan, and I began researching how to cook certain things, there were ingredients that would come up that always made me uneasy.  Either I’d never heard of that particular ingredient before, or maybe I’d heard of it, but didn’t know what it was for or how to use it.  The first [...]

I mentioned before that I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest.  I love it because it allows for people to get their ideas out there on a wide scale, and it makes it so easy to find cool recipes, DIY crafty ideas, awesome ways to decorate your kitchen, and how to make a bun in [...]

Let me tell you: I’ve made some grilled cheese sammies in my day.  For a long while, I was a fromagier, first for a fancy French bistro in West Hollywood and then I was the head fromagier at a well-known cheese shop in Studio City.  You could say that I knew my cheese.  I made [...]

Cinnamon Blood Orange Granola

Chris likes to have a big bowl of cereal (preferably of the clustered granola variety) for breakfast.  I’m more of an oatmeal gal, myself.  Brunch, however, is a different story.  We like to go big with brunch.  Since becoming vegan, we’ve tried so many different things for brunch, from elaborate waffles, french toast, omelets, frittatas [...]

Spinach, Mushroom, and Red Bell Pepper Frittata

When we first became vegan, I was a tofu-scrambling machine.  I researched the basics online and taught myself along the way.  It was a good, easy go-to for any meal when we were still learning this new way of life, and we ate a lot of it.  I scrambled the heck out of some tofu!  [...]
