This is a very special salad recipe, because it comes with a story. A couple of weeks ago I fell into a rut in the kitchen. I felt uninspired to create any recipes...or to cook. While there are days, and even weeks, when I cannot stop creative juices from flowing, there are times when I feel completely blank and rely on my own web-site to keep food on the table. Yes, I … [Read more...]

Vegan Tuna Salad Recipe
Not to toot my own horn, but I think that this is going to be the best mock tuna salad you ever had! I toiled over the recipe to make it perfect. It had to pass not only my taste test, and, but, more importantly, my Husband's. It is so addicting, in fact, that I found it hard to put my spoon down. I can eat it by itself, without anything else, for a couple straight … [Read more...]

Steamed Dumplings: Manti Vegan Style
I grew up in Central Asia, where steamed dumplings were a highly revered dish, and were a fixing at almost any respectable get-together. They are called manti (aka manty) where I come from.

Pretty in Pink | Fruit Smoothie Recipes

As I was looking at their offerings I saw a lot of fruit smoothie options, although all of them had some kind of nasty protein powder added. No worries, I was going to have them … [Read more...]
