While I know quite a lot about vegan cooking, I know pretty much nothing about Caribbean cooking, so when I was offered a review copy of Taymer Mason’s Caribbean Vegan, and I jumped at the opportunity.

Vegan Fitness for Mortals
I’ve never been very athletic. I have two left feet, I’m super klutzy, and I was always the last person picked in any kind of activity in gym class. I understand the importance of exercise, though, and I always advocate for both physical activity and a healthy diet when working with health coaching clients. I…
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…
Curried Garbanzo Cakes with Poppy Seeds from Healing the Vegan Way
There are many reasons to go vegan. Many people make the switch for ethical reasons, while others do so for their health. I went vegan for the animals, but when I did so, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my health. I then decided to become a health coach so that I could share the…
Vegan Fish Taco Bowl from Vegan Bowl Attack!
I guess we can credit Instagram for the rapid rise of food trends. First, green smoothies were all the rage. Then photos of avocado toast filled my feed. Now, vegan bowl meals are taking over.

Bring your brunch game to the next level with this vegan Quiche Lorraine from Baconish by Leinana Two Moons! I remember when I decided to go vegetarian in the early 90s. My friend Irina was in disbelief. “You’re giving up bacon? How could you do that?” I wish someone had told me back then that Irina’s…
Grilled Veggie Pitas with Cilantro Lime Sauce from Pure and Beautiful Vegan Cooking
People have quite often told me that being vegan is difficult where they live, or that finding vegan food can be hard in other parts of the country. I may be a little spoiled because I live within walking distance of a Whole Foods, but I know that it’s possible to be vegan in other…

Thai Red Curry from Vegan Under Pressure by Jill Nussinow
Dennis knows that I love kitchen gadgets and appliances, and he tends to give them to me for special occasions. Several years ago, he gave me a Vitamix for Valentine’s Day. My vegan foodie friends were in awe, and my non-foodie friends thought I was nuts for being so happy about getting a blender as…
