I love the beginning of a New Year. Hello, 2012. I hope you’re good to us. This year I have made a few goals. The first one being: Simplify. And that means I’ve shortened my list to just a few goals instead of a laundry list. Simplicity is something I’ve been craving. In my home, […]
Vegan, Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
My favorite Christmas cookies are Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies from Martha Stewart. I played around to make them gluten-free and vegan. Some of you, I’m sure, don’t think it’s possible to make delicious vegan, GF cookies. These are the cookies that will shatter that. I’ll admit I haven’t adapted some recipes successfully. But this one […]

Dosas with Potato Chickpea Masala, Palak Daal, Basmati Rice This is my new favorite condiment–Hot Cilantro Chutney from Bollywood Chutneys.

Eat Vegan On $4 A Day: Peanut Butter Smoothie
Smoothies have become my breakfast of choice most days. I have been so busy with various things that drinking my breakfast while I’m working has been a wonderful solution.

Cream of Fennel and Zucchini Soup with Fennel Pollen
Fennel became one of my favorite vegetables a few years ago. We like to buy a bulb or two every so often as a special treat. It’s not always easy to find at the grocery stores here in Utah like it was when we lived in New York. Sadly, all the fennel I planted drowned […]

Marinated Tofu with Tahini Asparagus and Pearl Oyster Mushrooms
Have you been curious about the fate of the pearl oyster mushrooms from the Back To The Roots kit? (They were delicious.)

Gluten-Free Vegan Coconut-Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies.
C is for coconut, chocolate chip and crack. All of which these cookies have in them. Purely addictive. I saw Jenny and Brooke post their recipes for coconut oil chocolate chippers.
