Where Do You Get Your Protein?
The one question that I get asked more than anything else is, “Where do you get your protein?” It usually comes right after “You haven’t eaten any of the egg salad or cheese dip. Are you one of those ve-guns?” I’ve been eating this way for so long, that I’m actually kind of tired of…
Tempting Tempeh
When people hear the word “soy,” they often think of tofu, edamame or even meat analogs, but there’s another tasty food made with soy that’s not quite as popular yet – tempeh.

Unicorn Tacos from The Great Vegan Protein Book

I just wasn’t getting enough protein.” Food Advertising by These are all things I’ve heard many, many times. The question, “where do you get you’re protein?” is so ridiculous that the…
Stop Calling Vegan Food “Fake”
I recently watched a rerun of the canceled-too-soon show Raising Hope, and Cloris Leachman’s character Maw Maw was eating a plastic apple. “This apple tastes awful!” she exclaimed, and her granddaughter Virginia told her she was eating one of baby Hope’s toys. It reminded me of the bowl of fake fruit we had on our…

Pizza night just got a tasty makeover with this spicy Chipotle Tempeh Pizza with Herbed Cashew Cheese Sauce! Many people have told me that they couldn’t go vegan because they couldn’t give up pizza.
