I love these! I have never used wheat gluten before. so I have never seen how stringy and elastic it gets. Fun stuff. These are yummy. They are based on a recipe from the Queen of Vegan herself – Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I used the one in her cookebook, Veganomicon, but she has modified it […]

I tried polenta once before. Not only was it time-consuming, it came out all mushy. I found this quick and easy method, on  about.com.  Kyle Phillips posted the traditional way with constant stirring for 40 minutes, but a reader- John- posted an even quicker way  and I really love it! I used John’s brown-bag method, […]

I have been trying to give up coffee and I LOVE this! You asked, so here it is – the original matcha frappe recipe. I am instantly nicer once I drink it. Plus, I’m certain it’s good for me. I watched a video on productivity and it stated that green tea is great for your […]

My husband made these. He researched. He checked out recipes which matched our CSA veggies. And, he came up trumps. This dish is delicious and good for you, too! A great way to enjoy the tail end of pepper season. This is adapted from allrecipes.com. Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1 cup water 2 red bell […]

Tomato soup was always my go-to comfort food. As tomato season draws to a close, the temperature drops (only to go back up again) and we have soooo many tomatoes from our CSA, it is time to try a new variation of an old favorite, and this one is delicious. The idea of raw soup […]

I love this. I could drink it all day long. It gives me a caffeine boost while also being good for me. The antioxidants from the green tea, the electrolytes from the coconut water, and other things I AM SURE!  Plus, it’s all creamy and gloopy and yummy to drink. This is inspired a Renee […]

Ah, summer is officially over and tomato season begins to wane. Fall is here and soon the leaves will prove it with their colourful display. So, what to do as the tomatoes go soft in the bowl (you don’t keep them in the fridge, do you? Uh oh). Well, I found this great recipe on […]

I am so excited about these! They are so easy to make, and they are deliciously healthy snacks. You can experiment with different seasonings, and you may end up having to double the recipe. Ingredients: 1 15oz tin,  chickpeas – organic, if you like (you can pick up four cans relatively cheaply at vitacost) sea […]

I’m not usually into the fake vegan meat. That sounds weird. I had a stay in Boston. I was looking forward to trying out Grezzo – I love her recipe book – check out her kale chips, for example – only to find it had closed down. There aren’t a ton of vegan restaurants in […]

OMG – yes, I used that term – these fajitas were delicious. I always love the idea of fajitas in a tex-mex place but then I’m always, faintly, disappointed by the preponderance of sizzling onion and green pepper. None of that here.  This is adapted from New Vegetarian, by Celia Brooks Brown, which my sister […]
