Kale chips are a perfect snack food for those of us trying to cut back on processed foods or high-calorie snacks. They only take fifteen minutes, five minutes prep and ten minutes in the oven, and a little olive oil and salt. It’s simple to whip these up in a flash when you have a…

Chocolate Chip Cookies

BBQ Jackfruit with Carrots and Corn Muffins
Jack fruit is kind of a vegan wonder food. It comes in a can, and when drained and shredded it resembles the texture of pulled pork, making it absolutely perfect for barbecue sauce! Make sure to buy the green jack fruit in water (not oil or brine) to get the right taste. This meal only…
Twice Cooked Risotto and Pesto Peas
Sometimes the best things are the things you make up as you go along. And some things photograph poorly but are actually delicious. This is one of those things. We had planned to have a “date night in” with dinner and a movie, and I wanted to make something different and special for the hubster….
Meatball Sandwiches
Did you know you can be a vegan and still eat MEATBALL SANDWICHES? Tonight’s dinner was inspired by one of NYC’s gems, the Meatball Shop, which does offer meat-less-balls and makes a fortune taking advantage of people’s love of the meatball sub. This vegan version is the real deal. You are gonna wanna make this…
Red Onion Bhajis
I have a confession to make about this one. These onion bhajis did not come out as planned. I followed the Avant-Garde Vegan’s recipe from his cookbook Vegan 100 but for some reason mine weren’t crispy like I know they are supposed to be, and they didn’t really bind together that well. I’ll still post…
A to Z Cake
I haven’t baked in a while, so I had a desire to bake something delicious and easy for a special end-of-summer treat. I decided to use the zucchini in my fridge to make a really moist cake (with an added health bonus), and add body to the batter and sweetness using applesauce. This cake is…
Polenta Fries
This one takes a little bit of prep work, but it is worth it. Polenta fries are a special alternative to potato fries: they are a bit fancier, a new texture and flavor, and a different way to eat polenta. Polenta firms up well when cooled, and it’s fun watching the creamy corn meal turn…
Kale and White Beans
I don’t think I utilize frozen vegetables enough. Too often, I forget about their ease and versatility. I know that eating fresh produce means getting the most nutrients, but frozen ain’t a bad alternative. And, frozen vegetables are likely to be cheaper and obviously won’t go bad for a very long time unlike fresh produce….
