Shirataki- what? Now four people have asked me about this- what is it? I had researched it a little bit but since I stay away from pasta and noodles I didn’t venture over to tasting it, until a friend of mine brought it right over to me. Miracle rice.. hmm? The package says guilt free, zero calories, soy free and gluten […]

Just 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 […]

I 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 […]

Every holiday season at work, we have a “cook your favorite dish” potluck type party. 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 – […]

PULP PATTIES— that’s what I call what I attempted to make! I had heard that burgers could be made from the pulp created from juicing. I made a large pitcher of juice for my friends and I. I had so much pulp that I wanted to try it!Here is a blurb from my favorite vegan Facebook page “VEGANISM“: “This is the […]

Cheater– lol- yes I am! I wanted a quick vegan snack! I was hanging out with one major meat eater and 2 vegetarians.. lol- they had to know we (vegans) can do fun shakes and snacks too! I really enjoy finding non health food stores that carry vegan items! When you think about it, dairy free items are on the […]

Where does one find TAHINI while up in the mountains?? I’m away for a few days with CLEAN START so yes I’m craving to prepare more than one recipe– and that’s why I’m out of a few ingredients as well. If you want things like mirin, vegenaise, special flours and I’m sorry to say TAHINI- then you must pack them ahead […]

Back to CLEAN START by Terry Walters. I have to admit- we rocked this recipe out! Feel free to cook with friends or family- it makes it more fun working together to knock out a good recipe! There isn’t a picture in the book for this one- but ours came out spectacular!  I have to say these are favorites of […]

Kale Chips (They should be crispy and crunchy- these are in case you cannot tell from the picture)Go to any health food store and you will see many variations of kale chips. Sure they are tasty but they do have extra ingredients- honesty, you can make it yourself at hardly any cost! Some kale chips have cheese added therefore those […]
