It’s now been over 2 years since I decided to go vegan, yet this place still has a very strong “omni” flavor because of my past paleo life. I’m still very much uncomfortable with it but unfortunately, no matter how strongly I feel about veganism and how much I am convinced that it’s the right thing to do for the planet as well as for the animals, and much as I feel uneasy about all the meat-based and other non-vegan recipes on here, they do represent many many years of hard work and I can’t simply go about deleting them all. Besides, I feel it wouldn’t really be the right thing to do. I will ..read more

This Vegan Tofu Feta Cheese is a great, addictive and easy to make vegan substitute for traditional feta. Delicious in salads or on its own as a snack or appetizer! I recently got a major craving for my Greek Style Tomato Cucumber Salad, so I began searching the web for an easy vegan feta recipe. Sadly, I couldn’t find one that seemed to exactly fit the bill. Some seemed great but were a lot more work than I cared for; I’ve been feeling a tad lazy in the kitchen lately! As for the super easy ones, most were merely just cubed tofu, marinated in oil, lemon juice and vinegar, and called for very ..read more

This Vegan Potato Salad is easy to make — ahead of time too — making it the perfect option for picnics, barbecues and potlucks. Who doesn’t like a good potato salad, right? I don’t think I’ve ever actually met anyone who didn’t like potato salad. And I don’t think that I’ve ever met a potato salad that I didn’t like, either! There are probably as many different potato salad recipes out there as there are individuals making it, and we each tend to have our own personal preferences. Me? I’m ..read more

It sure is a nice change from your usual morning oatmeal! Will you dare give it a try? Even in the summertime, I really love me a bowl of warm cereal in the morning from time to time. Sometimes, though, I get tired of the same old rolled oats.

Buckwheat groats are definitely my favorit ..read more

Loaded with all kinds of nutrients and super friendly to the environment, Hemp Milk is probably the best non-dairy milk alternative you could go for. Plus, it only takes 2 ingredients and 1 minute of your time to make… Wins all around! After discovering how crazy easy — and waste-free — it was to make cashew milk at home, I was completely and utterly sold on it and thought for sure that I could never find another solution that would beat that.  Until I [once again] did… This homemade hemp milk beats that cashew milk AND my zero waste oat milk hands down, as well ..read more

Think you’re not a fan of tofu? Boy, have I got just the thing to change your mind… This Easy Oven Baked Tofu is so crazy yummy, tasty and addictive, you’ll soon find yourself popping it like potato chips! When I first made this Oven Baked Tofu, my son — who was a teenager at the time — was still living at home and, well, just as pretty much any other reluctant growing boy — I guess — he was not exactly what one could call a fan of tofu. But I remember the day I’d initially posted this recipe, he almost wolfed down the entire batch before I’d even had a chance to take pictures… or even bake i ..read more

This Sweet BBQ Pulled Jackfruit is so moist and tasty and crazy similar to the real deal, even the fiercest of meat lovers will be all over it! Jackfruit has got to be the coolest, awesomest new discovery that I’ve made since going vegan. The first time I had it — it was in a vegan restaurant — I got seriously freaked out at some point when I inspected my sandwich and thought for sure that there was meat in it. How could that be? It was a vegan place after all!? I had to look it up on the Internet to convince myself that it indeed was not meat and that it was safe for me to resume eating. I m ..read more

You’ll want to stuff them in a wrap or sandwich, pile them on top of your favorite salad, make them the star of your next Buddha bowl, or just plain pop ’em like popcorn, with your favorite dipping sauce!
