The last time we were in Atlanta my Mother-in-Law whipped up a batch of Zesty Horseradish Humus. We ate it on everything in sight, including sandwiches. I thought I would give it a go and this is what I came up with. I used prepared horseradish from a jar instead of making it from scratch, [...]

Happy Meatless Monday. Although I have been a food loving vegetarian for more than fifteen years and vegan for nearly three, I have to admit…I am frequently surprised by tofu. After all of these years, I am still suspect of the strange white block and I don’t know why. It is most often better than [...]

Hi friends, I have asked Sandy to be a guest contributor for the day. Enjoy. One of the most common conversations that crops up for those eating a plant-based diet is what about proper nutrition for athletes? Not the garden variety, staying-in-shape kind of physical exertion, but high performing and competitive athletes. It seems that [...]
