To me, June means strawberries. There’s only one month per year in the Northeast USA that has really good, juicy, sweet strawberries. I don’t trust those mid-winter grocery store strawberries that are almost as big as apples. I wait for the real, beautiful, natural thing and enjoy the heck out of them for those few…

Lemon and Capers Tofu
My mom makes chicken piccata or “lemon and capers chicken” quite often for dinner. It was always a favorite of mine because of the brightness of the lemon flavor. I decided to recreate this favorite dish with tofu, and it turned out just as good! It’s important to press the tofu really well, or even…
Peanut Sauce Tofu
It’s been a crazy work week for me, and hubs has so kindly taken over dinner duties the past few days. So I’m proud to say that this is a guest post from my boo – he chose the dish, he cooked it, he photographed it, without any input from me! I think this blog…
Rice Bowl with Kale and Radish Slaw
Something about spring makes me want to eat healthier, whether it’s because I have to wear a bathing suit soon or because I’m naturally outside exercising more and building good health juju. This kale and radish slaw is a delicious and easy dish to whip up and pair with lots of different meals. Here it’s…
Vegan Ramen with Tofu
Ramen noodles – not just a college student’s favorite 50 cent insta-meal. Ramen is a wonderful brothy Chinese noodle soup that’s typically topped with pork, eggs, sprouts, green onion, and other various toppings. But with ramen it’s all about the broth, baby. I really try to be an “under an hour” chef so I made…
Vegan Sushi
I tried to make sushi for the first time and I was amazed. It was so easy! I have a Japanese food store right near my office so I was able to easily pick up a bamboo mat and some nori sheets on my way home from work. If you don’t have a Japanese food…
Tofu Banh Mi Sandwiches
If you haven’t had banh mi before, it’s a delicious Vietnamese sandwich on a baguette with lots of pickled vegetables, cilantro, and typically, pork. This vegan version uses grilled tofu as the main filling and vegan mayonnaise in a spicy chili mayo sauce. It’s so simple to make these glorious (and super packed!) sandwiches. You…
Vegetable Fried Rice
Who needs take-out when you can make delicious and healthy vegetable fried rice at home, complete with an egg substitute that makes it feel like it’s real Chinese-restaurant-fried rice from a carton!? This would be a great dish to make in bulk and keep to reheat for lunches all week. It has great sources of…
Chocolate Banana Pudding
For some reason I associate chocolate with love and romance. Maybe because I’m such a chocolate-lover, and am always overjoyed to receive gifts of the chocolate-kind. Anyway, for this Valentine’s Day I’m making some chocolate pudding for my puddin’. Your SO will love this creamy, luscious dessert topped with crushed pistachios or fresh sliced strawberries….
Pasta Alfredo with Mushrooms and Peas
When I first went vegan, I thought for sure that I’d have to give up creamy sauces like alfredo. I never even imagined that I would be able to eat, let alone cook!, something so creamy and wonderful. Once I started looking further into vegan cooking methods, I learned that you can make cheesy sauces…
