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.

Lemony Chickpea and Escarole Salad

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…
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…
