Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes with Salted Chocolate Caramel Syrup

Vegan Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes

May 8, 2013
10
Mother’s Day is so close!  It seems that a brunch is the traditional thing to do for Mother’s Day, though, since my mother rarely eats breakfast, we never did it when I was growing up.  I, on the other hand, LOVE brunch.  It’s my favorite meal of the day! Because I’m such a brunch-enthusiast, I’m [...]

Review: Vegan French Macaroons from Feel Good Desserts

May 6, 2013
26
Since becoming vegan, I can honestly say that I have not missed any non-vegan foods.  I have, however, often wished that my favorite cookie, French macaroons, were vegan.  I’ve not missed them.  I’ve just been bummed that there were no vegan versions. Well, I am bummed no more!  Feel Good Desserts has created vegan French [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes with Salted Chocolate Caramel Syrup

May 3, 2013

There was a time, about five or six years ago, when my weekends were far different from they are now. I would generally work during the day on Saturday.  Saturday nights were for dates, going dancing, or having a wine and movie night with my best friend.  Sunday mornings were spent sleeping in a bit, [...]

Crossroads Kitchen

Dining in LA: Crossroads Kitchen

May 1, 2013
7
When Chris and I returned from New York City, we realized that what LA was missing was an upscale fine dining restaurant.  There was no place for a vegan to get all dressed up and have a fancy dinner on a special occasion.  Tal Ronnen has changed all of that with his new restaurant, Crossroads [...]

Mediterranean Nachos

Mediterranean Nachos with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus & Tofu Feta

April 29, 2013
26
When Chris and I went to Greece on our honeymoon, we did not fully research what sorts of foods would be available to us.  We somehow had gotten the (totally incorrect) notion in our heads that hummus was Greek.  We had grand ideas of eating our body weight in hummus and pita, with beautiful platters [...]

Goji Berry Blood Orange Muffins

Goji Berry Blood Orange Muffins

April 26, 2013

I’ve mentioned before that I’m typically more on the quiet side.  Small talk is something I’ve never been that good at.  My closest friends are the ones who don’t get weirded out when I have nothing to say.  Writing, on the other hand, is a place where I can tend to get a little long-winded. [...]

Practically Raw Desserts and Why Coconuts are The World’s Most Versatile Ingredient

April 24, 2013
12
I love raw food, but I never venture to make it myself because it’s just not that familiar to me.  For me, it feels very strict without much room for leeway (changing the recipe/messing up).  So I mostly stick to what’s familiar to me.  Amber Shea Crawley is a raw foods chef who actually shows [...]

Jackfruit 'Tuna' Melt Sandwich

Jackfruit “Tuna” Melt Sandwich

April 22, 2013

I just couldn’t let National Grilled Cheese Month slip away without doing at least one grilled cheese sandwich! Before I became vegan, grilled cheese sandwiches were my specialty.  A fancy grilled cheese was the first thing I ever cooked for Chris.  He asked me to marry him that night.  We’d been dating less than a [...]

Soy-Free Vegan Benedict

The Soy-Free Vegan Benedict

April 19, 2013
46
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, last week you may have already heard me allude to the fact that chickpea flour is magic.  Well, it’s true.  Chickpea flour is magic. I mean, if soccas, flatbreads, omelets, waffles, and pancakes haven’t already made this clear to you, perhaps this recipe will. Do you see [...]

Samosa House

Dining in LA: Samosa House

April 17, 2013
18
I love Indian food with a passion.  I’m not the best at cooking it myself, but I love having it prepared for me (i.e. Indian restaurants).  I also love ethnic markets.  Samosa House in Culver City is where these two wonderful worlds collide. Chris and I discovered Samosa House around three years ago.  It’s a [...]

Springtime Strawberry Spinach Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

Springtime Strawberry Spinach Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

April 15, 2013

Nothing feels more like spring to me than when strawberries and asparagus start popping up at the market or in my CSA delivery. Well, the tree outside of our dining room window beginning to bloom comes pretty darn close. And the part where I can start driving with my sun-roof open is pretty great. Oh, [...]

One of the things I love about Chris (there are lots.  I’m sure I’ve shared with you some and I’m sure I’m going to share more), is that he has just as much of a sweet tooth as I do. He loves a good piece of high quality dark chocolate and he will never turn [...]

Garlic Parmesan Tempeh Wings

Garlic Parmesan Tempeh Wings

April 10, 2013
36
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 [...]

Caramel Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars

Caramel Peanut Butter Marshmallow Bars

April 8, 2013
32
Could there be any more awesome words in that title?  Caramel.  Peanut Butter.  Marshmallow. Sure, I probably could’ve added chocolate and just put them over the top, but chocolate always has a way of stealing the show.  I wanted the other ingredients to shine. Also, these were inspired by another one of my recipes and [...]

Sweet & Sour Cauliflower with Pineapple

Sweet and Sour Cauliflower with Pineapple

April 5, 2013

Cauliflower is quickly becoming my most favorite vegetable. It’s level of versatility never ceases to amaze me.  Whether it’s disguising itself as buffalo wings, lightening up mashed potatoes, holding together an awesome burger, or hiding in a cheese sauce, I am always amazed. Now it’s popping up in one of my childhood favorite chinese take-out [...]

My Top 25 Vegan Kitchen Staples

April 3, 2013

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 [...]

Chris and I don’t have cable and don’t watch shows on television.  We do, however, have Netflix and a DVD player with a projector and a big white wall. We don’t watch too many television shows because, well, we don’t feel like it.  We do have our favorites that we watch over and over and [...]

Cheesy Cornbread Waffles with Cauliflower Lentil Sloppy Joes

March 29, 2013

Do you remember your first sloppy joe sandwich? I do.  And it was definitely a far cry from the most recent sloppy joe creation to emerge from my kitchen. My first sloppy joes experience was at my elementary school cafeteria.  My dad always woke me up, got me ready and took me to school.  This [...]
