12/8 Walk on the Wildside Rice, Another Winner!

I am sure you have guessed by now…we love to cook.  But one thing we love more than cooking is simplicity. Being vegan or healthy or satisfied shouldn’t be hard. I love making something once and being able to create two completely different dishes. Hence, the inspiration for the two Tofurky recipes and two wild […]

12/7 Tofurky Mojo Part Deux

The only thing better than a Tofurky roasting in the oven are Tofurky leftovers in the fridge. I took the leftover Mojo Tofurky and made it into an entree salad with wild rice, pecans and figs. I also threw in an enticing red apple for crunch and color. I served the Tofurky salad on a […]

12/6 Tofurky Mojo Part One

Sandy grew up in Miami which helped her develop a sassy palate and love of  Cuban and Latino inspired foods. We both love cumin, lime and all things with a kick.   I just described the beginning of the perfect sauce. Cuban cuisine has a marinade called  Mojo Criollo.

12/2 Don’t Let The Gouda Get Away & A Winner

Yesterday I promised to share with you in today’s post about a vegan cheese that was new to us, called Sheese.  We’ve sampled a few of their products and here is the first scoop about some of this non-dairy cheesy delight.  I used the Gouda to make the Garlicky, Gouda Croutons that topped the roasted veggie […]

12/1 A Recipe & A Vegan Joyful Winner

Over the weekend we were given a handful of butternut squash that had been grown by my niece and nephew. They are in elementary school and have a voracious appetite for growing veggies (love that). Because I know how lovingly this squash had been cared for, I felt it was my obligation and honor to […]
