Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
Initially, I named this Cracked Lentil Stew.Now I’m starting to worry about myself. I am making up my own names for grains that already exist lol. Seriously though, I love to try new vegetables or grains when I see them. I could have no clue what it is or how to cook it- and so for that reason, I buy […]
Read moreIf at first you don’t succeed, try try again!oh boy! I guess I didn’t exacty know what I wanted to cook today. I wanted something with tofu… but that’s not how it ended up. I messed up twice today- two different dishes- actually THREE TIMES! (1) I set out to make baked tofu with some veggies that I had in […]

Perhaps I too was brainwashed from the low carb craze most popular during the days of the Atkin’s Diet but which still exists today.

The package says guilt free, zero calories, soy free and gluten […]
Read moreJust because it looks pretty- doesn’t necessarily mean you are suppose to eat it! I was drawn in by their bright red color and blotted design. I’m sure somewhere, people eat these in their whole form both raw and cooked. Well not knowing much about this- I jumped right in. I treated them as normal string bean pods and set them in […]
Read moreI make a slamming TOFU SCRAMBLE! I guess that’s because I always made great scrambled eggs- who can mess that up? lol- plenty of people- trust me! If you are not already vegan and you have an open mind- this dish can taste great and be healthy as well. For the record, no one is saying to eat tofu or soy […]

My friend Lauren made such a delicious combination of baked tofu with roasted vegetables and mango that I have been talking about it ever since. It’s so good that the “vegetarians and vegans” have to tell the rest of our co-workers that it’s not chicken – […]
