Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream
Chocolate Cherry Nice Cream is a deliciously refreshing cold treat for a hot summer’s day. Full of fruit, it’s perfect for breakfast, dessert, or just a snack! The first time I had banana-based ice cream was probably about 15 years ago. I hadn’t been vegan very long. I had already been vegetarian for many years,…
The Vegan Popeye Tofu Scramble
You’ll be strong to the finish when you start your day with a hearty, spinach-filled vegan Popeye Tofu Scramble!

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…

Blackberry Mojito Overnight Refrigerator Oats from Kathy Hester’s OATrageous Oatmeals
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…
Almond Joy Chia Pudding
Chocolate, almonds, and coconut come together deliciously in this Almond Joy Chia Pudding, which is perfect for both breakfast and dessert!

Zeke the Plumber’s Awful Waffles from Natalie Slater
I had so much fun hosting Natalie Slater on the blog tour for her book Bake and Destroy that I’ve decided to do it again! Natalie is here once more, this time with a recipe that’s perfect for Halloween. 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…
