Brightly flavored lemon-rosemary marinade is the star of this Grilled Tofu Sandwich. Piled high with avocado and pesto, it’s bound to become a summertime favorite! I don’t find myself at Blossom du Jour in Manhattan very often, but when I do, I almost always order the Un-Chicken Avocado Griller. It’s kind of silly that I…

Tahini Chickpea Salad
This tahini chickpea salad is the perfect meal for warm days. I love to make it for lunch, but it would also make a great light dinner! It’s a great dish for picnics and potlucks, too. Chickpea Salad is one of my go-to dishes for lunch. I like to mash up chickpeas, add whatever veggies…
Tahini Noodles
Some years ago I had come across a recipe for tahini noodles, and I made them several times. They were quite tasty, but somehow they fell out of our meal rotation. It’s been so long now, that I can’t remember where I found the recipe, and for some reason it’s not in my recipe binder. (The…
Nut Butter Blast: Peanutty Pad Thai Zoodles
Last year, Angela from Canned Time asked me to participate in her Veganized Family Favorites Desserts series. I created a Chocolate Cream Pie, and strangely, I won favorite dessert out of the 12 recipes that were in the series! When Angela asked if I wanted to participate in another series this year, this time creating…
20 Meal-Worthy Salads for Summer
We’re smack dab in the middle of summer, and it’s far too hot to cook. I tend to eat a lot of salads and sandwiches in the summer months, both to help me stay cool and to avoid having to stand over a hot stove. It can be easy to get into a rut when making the…
African-Inspired Chickpea Peanut Stew
This African-Inspired Chickpea Peanut Stew is the perfect antidote for cold, dreary autumn days. The beginning of autumn is just a few days away. It’s my favorite season, and my thoughts are turning to warm mugs of tea, snuggly sweaters, and crunchy leaves. One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to cook a big…
Raw Vegan Tacos
Don’t let the long ingredients list here fool you – these “tacos” are easy to make, and they don’t take very much time to put together. They’re pretty versatile, so if you don’t have an ingredient, such as one of the spices, they’ll still be delicious. The different components can be made ahead of time and…
Curried Carrot Soup
When the weather outside its frightful, stay inside and warm up with a hot bowl of Curried Carrot Soup. I belong to a co-op that sends me carrots every week. Pounds and pounds of them. I can’t keep up. I’m constantly looking for ways to use them up before the next batch arrives. I shred them…
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…
Raw Sunflower Seed Tuna Wraps
Raw Sunflower Seed Tuna Wraps are the perfect meal for those hot summer days when it’s too hot to cook! It’s cooled down a little here in NJ, but 90 degrees only seems “cool” after a few days of 100+ temperatures. I’m still not thrilled with it, but I’ll take it over last weekend’s…
