I came up with a bizarre half-breed dinner, part potpie, part shepherd’s pie, all vegan. I used Qorn naked chik’n breasts, sprouted super firm tofu and went to town. It looks and smells good, let’s see [...]

I enjoy running and weight lifting and eating a healthy plant-based diet. I get plenty of nutrients from my food because my workouts are pretty moderate. My husband on the other hand has been doing P90x. With a workout this [...]

In fact, it was so crazy good that I wanted to share it with you today. This meal happened completely by chance becuase I had misplaced my wallet and couldn’t go to the grocery store. I frantically ran around my basement pantry and through all of my kitchen cabinets [...]

This has meant countless apps, blogs, feeds and searching to get just the recipes that I want. [...]

Or at least kind of a smart alec. So, imagine my surprise when I excitedly bounced up behind him on the steps and said, “Guess what?” and unapologetic he replied, “Vinegar or Duct Tape?” Wow. That really took the wind out of my sails and gave me a darn good nasal [...]

I love oatmeal packets, but there is so much sugar that over time I stopped using them. I started buying quick cooking oats and [...]

I enjoy the flavor and the wonderful health benefits, but purchasing ready made can be pretty pricey. So, I have decided to take matters into my own hands and brew my own batch. I [...]

She made the switch a few years ago in response to high cholesterol. Rather than take medication daily, she decided to alter her diet and lifestyle. I’ve always dabbled in healthy eating, mixing in both vegan and vegetarian cuisine, but claiming neither [...]
