Vegan Thai Noodle Salad
This cold Vegan Thai Noodle Salad is the perfect meal for a steamy hot day! Too hot to cook It’s just been too hot to cook here in New Jersey. Even though we have air conditioning, the idea of heating up the kitchen on a hundred degree day seems ridiculous. So for meals, I’ve been…
Garlicky White Bean Dip
Garlic, white beans, and tahini blend together perfectly to create this creamy snack in this Garlicky White Bean Dip recipe. We go through a lot of hummus in our house. We like to spread it on sandwiches, top our morning bagels with it, and snack on it with carrot sticks. I honestly can’t imagine a world…
Tempeh Fajita Salad

Asparagus and Chickpea Salad with Vegan Buttermilk Dressing
The vegan buttermilk dressing is the real star of this This Asparagus and Chickpea Salad, but the asparagus, chickpeas, and feta all play key roles. Too hot to cook I don’t turn the oven on very much in the summer months. Instead I make meals out of giant salads, or Dennis and I grill veggies…
Lemony Chickpea and Escarole Salad
I often find inspiration for new recipes in omnivore recipes that I find online, which is exactly how this dish came about. I saw a recipe for a salmon dish on Epicurious, and the flavors really spoke to me. With the mixture of lemon juice, asparagus and escarole, the dish seemed perfect for spring. It…
Summertime Avocado-Chickpea Salad
I’m sure all of us have those recipes that we make often but never write down. You know the ones – that you just throw together, and it may taste a little different each time you make it. For me, that recipe is this avocado-chickpea salad. The first time I made it, Dennis and I…
Chickpea Pizza with Asparagus and Pea Shoot Tangle from Chickpea Flour Does It All
I get many requests to review cookbooks, and I usually only say yes to the vegan cookbooks. I like supporting vegan authors, and I don’t want a book full of recipes that I can’t make. (Or have to figure out how to veganize.) For these reasons, I hesitated when I was asked to review Chickpea…
