Apple Pie Oatmeal
Every year, Dennis I kick fall of with a day trip to Warwick, NY, we have lunch, do a bit of shopping, spend some time apple picking, and stop at farm stands to load up on freshly harvest autumn vegetables. When we come home, we stuff our basement fridge with our produce haul. I then spend…
Baked Veggie Pan Omelet from Protein Ninja
You’re vegan? But, but where do you get your protein? We’re a culture obsessed with protein. I’m amazed at the amount of people who have asked me where I get my protein or tell me that they’d like to go vegan but they “need their protein.” Are people really lying in bed at night worrying…

I was a recipe tester for Kathy Hester’s upcoming book OATrageous Oatmeals, and I’m thrilled to tell you about the book today! I’m going to have to admit that I haven’t always liked oatmeal. I used to find it bland and paste-like, but I ate it on occasion out of convenience and because I knew…

Since Natalie is influenced by slasher films, pro-wrestling, punk rock and heavy metal, her recipes seem appropriate for the…
Blossom Du Jour Grand Opening
I’ve made no secret of my love for the Blossom vegan restaurant chain in New York City. Between Blossom on 9th Ave, Cafe Blossom on Carmine, Cafe Blossom Uptown and V Note, and amazingly delicious meals on the menu at each location, it’s difficult to choose a favorite. Recently owner Pamela Elizabeth has spread Blossom’s wings…
Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
Chocolate and cherries pair perfectly together in this lush smoothie. If you hadn’t put them in yourself, you wouldn’t know that this drink is full of healthful leafy greens! Cherries have always been my favorite fruit, and as a self-confessed chocoholic, I find the chocolate and cherry combination highly addictive. I’ve been making chocolate cherry…
Spinach, Mushroom & Leek Scrambled Tofu
Treat yourself to brunch this weekend with this tasty Spinach, Mushroom & Leek Scrambled Tofu! Scrambled tofu is my favorite breakfast, and I often make it on the weekends. It’s so versatile that I rarely make the same thing twice. I tend to use whatever’s in the fridge and just throw it all together in the pan with the tofu,…
