"Waste not, want not!" is my motto, when it comes to about everything in my life. But you already knew that when I told you how to freeze extra produce to save money. Lately I have been on a watermelon kick, and already told you about the benefits of eating the WHOLE watermelon, not just the delicious pink flesh. When I shared the Watermelon Rind Smoothie Recipe, I … [Read more...]

Somewhere in India Salad| Curry Recipe
I love intense flavors. You will not find a bland tasting dish in my cooking repertoire. Thankfully with my transition to a plant-based diet, I was introduced to a whole world of new flavors and spices. I particularly fell in love with cumin and curry. For some reason curry always makes me think of India, although I have not been there--it has a very intense and exotic … [Read more...]

12 Reasons to Eat Potatoes | 12 Potato Recipes
I love receiving questions from Vegalicious readers and, even moreso, I love answering them. Each week I receive tens of emails with questions on various topics; one from this week stood out to me, since the topic of the question is often vilified without a good reason.

My taste buds danced and my imagination ran wild when they were gone. I had to recreate their delightful offerings and, if I am successful, put my spin on them. I went to … [Read more...]

Oil Free Cashew Glazed Kale Chips Recipe
Last week was a kale kind of week. First, I bought 10 bunches of kale--could not miss 5 for $5 sale! (remember, you can always freeze extra greens) Then our farm share had a good portion of kale in it too.

Gluten Free Vegan Buckwheat Salad Recipe
This is a very special salad recipe, because it comes with a story. A couple of weeks ago I fell into a rut in the kitchen. I felt uninspired to create any recipes...or to cook. While there are days, and even weeks, when I cannot stop creative juices from flowing, there are times when I feel completely blank and rely on my own web-site to keep food on the table. Yes, I … [Read more...]

Vegan Tuna Salad Recipe
Not to toot my own horn, but I think that this is going to be the best mock tuna salad you ever had! I toiled over the recipe to make it perfect. It had to pass not only my taste test, and, but, more importantly, my Husband's. It is so addicting, in fact, that I found it hard to put my spoon down. I can eat it by itself, without anything else, for a couple straight … [Read more...]
