Yesterday at work I was asked to make a dish for the staff using a recipe from our TraderJoes.com website. I chose a quinoa salad because it was vegan (I like to eat on the job too), sounded great and did not require a Herculean amount of work to assemble. The staff absolutely went wild […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have been thoroughly enjoying the abundance of berries currently available at our local grocery stores. I have had the most amazing raspberries, blackberries and even strawberries. It has been a welcome respite from winter in Michigan and a reminder that this too shall pass. The snow will melt and the pavement […]

I am smitten with endive. I used to avoid them because I thought they were pale and creepy. They are grown entirely in the dark which gives them that snow white complexion. Once they are exposed to light they begin their descent into bitterness. They are tightly bound like the protective bud of a rose. […]

One of the important aspects of helping to share vegan dishes with friends and family is to create flavor and food experiences that are similar to their non-vegan counterparts. Even if the flavor or texture is a bit different from what someone might typically recognize, I believe that getting them close enough to a known […]

After experiencing one of the hottest Michigan summers I can remember in a long time (loved it), we have had two days of very chilly weather. My mind and belly immediately leapt into comfort food mode. I started to crave heavy, creamy and cheesy foods like mac and cheese. I was looking for soul satisfying, […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Now that I am a tomato aficionado I am always on the lookout for interesting varieties. Last week I found some Heirloom Striped Stuffers and flipped.
