We had been working on our tofu scramble for years! Until we finally nailed it. The first suggestion we ever got about making a tofu scramble was from our friend Jenn in Portland who was a long time vegan and told us to use Twin Oaks tofu and turmeric. That brand of tofu is impossible to find in NYC so instead we use a variety of brands of tofu but always extra firm. In the beginning it was a bit of a kitchen sink scramble or frittata. We’d throw everything in that we could get our hands on such as spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, jalapeños and mock meats and cheeses. During the p ..read more

I created my vegan whitefish salad recipe so that I would be able to enjoy one of my favorite foods from my childhood. Whitefish salad is an American Jewish food tradition and I ate it on almost every Jewish holiday growing up. You can find vegan whitefish salad at a few different vegan Jewish delis in the US but I haven’t found it in NYC. So because I was craving it, I thought there was a chance I could develop a vegan version and I’m so happy with the recipe I created. I would love to make it available to more people but in order to do that it’s quite a process so I’m looking into it now. If ..read more

We’ve connected with so many incredible goats during our visits to this wonderful rescue located in the Catskills. When you go to Frederick Farm you will go on a hike with goats through the hilly woods on the property and afterwards you’ll get to spend real quality time petting the goats. Book a hike with goats here: www.frederickfarmgoats.com! Did you know goats can be super affectionate just like dogs? That’s part of what makes this visit so awesome. We’ve been here a few times so while Meagan is giving a speech about what people should expect from the experience we are already petting and h ..read more

I tend to have trumpet mushrooms in the fridge sometimes so I made up this recipe. I love buying the freshest lab grown mushrooms from Smallhold. Find the recipe below! First we slice the mushrooms really thin and sauté them. This will take a total of about 20 minutes, also adding salt and pepper. Before we start cooking these we should cook the quinoa on the side and that will also take about 20 minutes. We will let these cook for a while because we want them to get soft and brown. Next add the onions, we’ll cook these until they get soft and we want the mushrooms to also get as browned ..read more

I went to the 2022 US Open and tried almost every vegan option there (outside of the big stadiums.) I was so full but it was so fun to try everything. Fully worth it. I go every year and it can be hard to navigate the options so I wanted to create a list to provide some guidance. I worked really hard to get this up before labor day weekend so I hope it helps and I hope you have an awesome time! Here are some helpful resources: https://www.usopen.org/en_US/visit/dining/index.html https://www.usopen.org/pdf/2021-Grounds_Map.pdf And here is the full list of restaurants, location and foods I order ..read more
