I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in my pajamas, about to climb into bed, when I stop cold and remember, “I forgot to pack my lunch for work.” The same thing could happen in the morning: I’m heading for the door with my my bag in one hand and my coffee thermos […]

How To Become A Vegetarian
I have been following a vegetarian diet for over 10 years, so one of the questions I am frequently asked is, “How did you become a vegetarian?” I am certainly not an expert on diet and nutrition. Growing up eating traditional Midwest food, it was no easy task to transition to a vegetarian diet. But […]
Surprisingly Good Tofu Tastes Like Chicken (Garlic Lime)
Growing up in the midwest, I never (NEVER) ate tofu. I didn’t hear about tofu until I was in my twenties. The only time people mention tofu in the midwest is when they are trying to explain how disgusting/bland something tastes (ew, that tastes like tofu). But I’m pretty sure this popular simile is only […]
Your New Favorite Stuffed Mushrooms (Vegetarian)
I don’t understand why stuffed mushrooms are not more popular. They should be a staple appetizer option at every restaurant. I must admit, my husband and I only ordered them for the first time because a waitress recommended them. But from that very first bite, we fell in love. We have been working to find […]

Easy, Herby Vegan Pepita Kale Pesto

For years, I was convinced I couldn’t be a hat person, despite loving hats, until one day I just started wearing them. Then, something magical happened–I became a hat person! I’m often like that with foods, too. […]
Yummy Carrot Date Cinnamon Rolls (Refined Sugar Free!)
Thanks to an episode of Gilligan’s Island, I grew up with the wholehearted belief that Eating More Carrots = Having Amazing Eyesight. (Never mind the fact that the carrots on this particular Gilligan’s Island episode were grown from radioactive seeds that mysteriously washed ashore and gave Mary Ann superhuman seeing powers.) I wasn’t the only […]

Fluffy, Ultra Soft Sweet Vegan Star Bread
I love traditions. I love eating the same thing on my birthday every year, posing for the same photo with my brother every Christmas, and watching the same movie every year at the first hint of fall (so I can hear my favorite lines in movie history: “Don’t you love New York in the fall? […]
Soft and Rich Red Velvet Cookies with Hidden Beets
Your heart is going to beat for these beets! Whether you are a first time beet eater or a beet connoisseur, are going to love these red velvet cookies and the beets hiding inside of them. I first developed this recipe years ago. I was in the mood for red velvet but was frustrated that […]
