I’m writing today.. finally, and that’s due to the happiness this vegan cafe brings to me all year round. The Garden Cafe, Woodstock, New York.

I’m beginning to think I’m obsessed with lasagna but in reality it’s something I only eat around the holidays. I did however make a few perfect lasagnas back to back and they truly need to be documented- first for my friends and second so I don’t forget! If one were to go through my blog, they would find so many […]

I have come a long way in my acceptance and transition back to the world of pasta… well, at least to the word “noodle” itself. Self acclaimed pasta-holic that I am, I have mentioned and confessed my addiction many times along this vegan blog journey. I feared the word pasta or noodle even up to my very recent zucchini noodle […]

I often come across mac and cheese recipes and skip over them because I don’t want to engage in pasta and fake cheese dishes. This one however, caught me off guard. It was vegan mac and cheese with vegetables- the catch is that the […]

I used to make lasagna with meat but I have changed it up over the years. I have made lasagnas vegetarian, whole […]

This package has been sitting in my cabinet for a bit- I won’t lie! First off, if anything can stay that long in a cabinet- it’s certainly not fresh! I think someone bought this for me but I feared eating it because it had the word pasta in it. After some recent blogs about miracle noodles, shirataki, konjac, zucchini pasta […]
Read moreSpaghetti squash is amazing! Actually, this began as an introduction of the konjac noodles from an earlier blog to a friend of mine who had never tried them. They are new and different for many people. The taste may have to be acquired but you can get used to it- I can get used to anything with zero calories lol. […]
