Okay. So I took a little chance here and got fancy. I don’t really follow “raw” diets and have never considered trying one, but I was feeling creative and healthy and decided to try a “raw” lasagna as a new dish. It turned out so good – and it was a huge hit with hubs….

Vegan Omelet
There’s nothing like a slow weekend morning. I really enjoy waking up leisurely and spending the first part of my morning making coffee and a nutritious and special breakfast for hubby and me. I almost always have cereal on weekday mornings so the weekend is the only time I get to experiment and spend time…
Breakfast Burrito
There is something so wonderful about a burrito. It’s this pocket of goodness that’s bursting full of lots of different delicious components – hard to keep together in your hands but worth every drip down your sleeve! 😂 Every individual part takes on a totally different experience when packed together inside in a tortilla. This…
Rice Noodles with Bok Choy
I’m a big noodle fan. Udon, soba, ramen, rice… I don’t discriminate! There is something comforting in the slurping action, and yet, it’s like a friendly challenge to get the slippery noodles in your mouth. I like a food that makes you work for it a little bit – it builds anticipation and adds a…
Cashew Crusted Tofu
This may as well be a Trader Joe’s website recipe because it is based on two my favorite TJ products: super firm tofu and raw cashew pieces. I am such a fan of TJ’s because they have so many great vegan products. Their super firm tofu is amazing because it saves time from the pressing…
Vegetable Quiche
Breakfast and brunch can be tricky to a new vegan. Besides select cereals and toast, there doesn’t seem like a lot of vegan options at first glance. Especially if you go out to a non-vegan restaurant, it might feel like you can only get the half of grapefruit and a plain toasted bagel (I’ve done…
Stuffed Shells
This stuffed shells recipe was one of the first meals I made when I decided to transition from vegetarian to vegan. At that point, the idea of giving up cheese seemed very daunting to me. Also, I hadn’t really felt the need to be super creative with tofu or other plant-based proteins yet. After trying…
Herb Cauliflower Rice
Moms are the best. For so many reasons. And especially when they give you recipe tips that you can use on your blog. 😉 Mom pointed me towards this perfect bag of frozen cauliflower rice that is available in the grocery store, already flavored beautifully, quick to whip up in a skillet or microwave, and…
Tofu Kebabs and Corn with Basil Butter
Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of summertime as made apparent by the crazy traffic heading down to the Jersey Shore from New York City, the (sometimes) warm temperatures, the three-day weekend, and most importantly…the BBQs! My family typically gathers together at my parents’ home for the long weekend. They live close to the…
Breaded Tofu and Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Comfort food – not normally what comes to mind of when you think “vegan”. But this meal sure was comforting for both my mind and my tummy. All the elements of a good comfort meal were present: creamy mashed potatoes, gravy, slow roasted veggies, and breaded and fried tofu? Okay, maybe tofu is not what you…
