Every year we harvest pounds and pounds of produce from our garden. We eat some, we can some and we freeze some. It seems that every year we shred zucchini and stick it in the freezer, only to find it there the next year. I’ve decided to try my best to use up the frozen … Continue reading
Many years ago, my Aunt Bernie gave me her recipe for Alfredo sauce. It is delicious. Spoiler alert…It’s not vegan. Not even close. Her recipe calls for heavy cream, butter, egg yolk and Parmesan cheese. It’s not a recipe I wanted to attempt to veganize. I’ve seen lots of recipes for vegan Alfredo sauce, most … Continue reading
We are celebrating Mother’s Day today. It’s a week early, but I’ll be out of town next Sunday, and my son is really excited about Mother’s Day. Really excited. A special day deserves a special dessert, and lavender cake is pretty fancy pants. Enter, Wholesome Chow Gluten Free Lavender Cake Baking Mix. I bought this … Continue reading
One word review: Yuck. Vegan mac & cheese, why do you hate me?? It seems no matter what I try, I cannot find a vegan macaroni and cheese that doesn’t turn me off. I haven’t had much luck with making my own, so I thought I’d give this product a try. Most day’s I prepare … Continue reading

Too many choices!! My son also loves Larabars and will eat them non-stop when we have them in the house. In an … Continue reading
Let’s just get something out in the open right away. These are not your typical sweet muffin. These little guys might even classify as more of a savory treat. I like them that way, and so did my taste testers, but if you’re looking for a sweet muffin recipe, this isn’t it. My muffins are … Continue reading
We had dinner with some friends last night, and I was tasked with bringing a salad. I remembered this recipe that I found on Pinterest, and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try it out. I needed something that was quick and easy to throw together and vegan, obviously. I knew I didn’t … Continue reading
Yes, I am a vegan. No, I don’t eat fish. I’m surprised at the number of times I get asked that question. It seems like people forget that fish are living, breathing creatures. One of my favorite pre-vegan meals was fish tacos. If a restaurant offered fish tacos, I ordered them. When I went vegan, … Continue reading
