We often discuss in our family (usually during dinner) what constitutes a great dessert. Of course, as expected, my children think dessert means loads of sugar, chocolate, caramel, etc, etc. They don’t believe me when I tell them fruit is the original dessert. I can’t blame them much; I would have balked at the notion […]
Tempeh Black Bean Vegan Taco Salad
A little while ago I confessed that I was in my twenties when I first tried tofu. Hmm. Funny thing. I’m in my thirties and I only just tried tempeh for the first time a few months ago. It’s always interesting to me that my picky eating was deeply rooted in fear. What if it didn’t […]

On a whim, I sought out a pick-your-own farm near where we live because I have been craving fresh blackberries. They are plentiful in the produce section at the supermarket right now, but those aren’t the berries that make dreams come true. Last summer I picked wild blackberries in Washington State on the side of the […]

Perhaps an eclectic combination of flavors and textures, but definitely a good one. The golden vinaigrette is made with cold pressed flax seed oil and raw coconut vinegar.
How To Marinate Tofu

It is interesting to me that my children love tofu so much when they are so finicky about other things like homemade macaroni and cheese. (I know […]
Date Almond Vegan Ice Cream with Grilled Peaches (And Some Other Goodies!)
I know what you’re thinking. Well, maybe I do. If you’re like a certain person I live with, you think it’s completely illogical to make ice cream (or call it ice “cream”) if it’s vegan. I get it. I do. But I’m here to tell you, vegan ice cream is great. Fantastic even. It’s not […]
