Sometimes I crave green food. This seems implied from someone living a vegan lifestyle but it really isn’t. When I came home from work last night feeling dejected and sulky, I polished off a bag of pita chips then fell into a deep carbohydrate induced nap. When I woke up several hours later I had […]

This week was the first time I have ever created a dish using Pearl Couscous. I had heard of it before, but had not yet sought it out or tried to cook with it. In all honesty, until I became vegan a year and a half ago, I wasn’t really familiar with anything more scandalous […]

When we were in Florida, Sandy’s mom made a soup for all of us. It was a surprise and she brought all the ingredients from Atlanta. She made her super secret vegan soup on the evening of the race as we rested, swam and basked in our exhuberance. It was exactly what we needed to […]

There are also those times when our refrigerator is full of things that are only linked by the simple […]

The next four posts are going to be about healthy and delectable, green food. Enjoy. Photo By: S. Duquet […]

A few days ago I posted a green chili cornbread recipe. It was my first foray into vegan cornbread. The flavor was mild and pretty delish. I am definitely a cornbread lover. I admire it for its ability to accept other flavors and textures, like a blank slate for creativity. Just throw it in and […]

Happy Meatless Monday my friends. Many times when someone finds out that I am vegan they feel compelled to tell me,” I would be vegan if I didn’t have to give up……fill in the blank.”I have found that blank is usually cheese. Its funny because after a year and a half of hearing that, I […]

Cornbread is divine. I like it sweet and I also like it savory. I like it with melted vegan butter and I also like it plain. Shaped like a muffin or in a tantalizing triangular slice…it is the right addition to any soup, chili or stew. This was my first attempt at veganizing cornbread from scratch. […]
