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 […]

Healthatarian— when I thought of this word, it was all about eating for health purposes- making choices to increase nutritional benefits. This begins with eliminating or reducing foods that take away from health. I have finally come to enjoy eating healthy- fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, sprouts and lean proteins. I further believe in herbs– the kind we drink as […]

They are incredible and hearty on their own, mixed with other vegetables, served on the side or even as “burgers.” I bought some the other day and was wondering […]

I went to a class today: The Miracle of Lacto-Fermentation at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health, taught by Peter Berley. I enjoy making my own food from scratch when I can.. also my own beauty products like skin cream, facial cleansers and scrubs. There is something both fun and empowering to creating what you will use or consume. […]

Warning lol: THIS IS NOT HEALTHY! BUT IT IS VEGAN!I get excited when I see marshmallows! It all goes back to when I was a little girl. I would sell chocolate covered marshmallows on the neighborhood street corner like kids sell lemonade- the only problem was that I ate at least half of them. That could have been where my […]

Voted BEST KOREAN restaurant in NYC (ZAGAT 2012)— and it happens to be vegan! I love this kind of dining! This is the sister restaurant of Franchia, which I wrote about in an earlier blog. I loved my experience at Franchia, so as one might expect- I couldn’t wait to go to HanGawi.  I knew it too would be on […]
