Vegan German Potato Salad is a fun addition to any summertime cookout! It’s the perfect dish to serve at 4th of July celebrations, too. I just sent away one of those Ancestry DNA kits full of my saliva so I can find out what my heritage is. The name Wenz is German, and I know…

My New Summer Salads E-Book is Now Available!
When Lisa decided to go vegetarian on The Simpsons, Homer and Bart danced around chanting, “You don’t win friends with salad! You don’t win friends with salad!” Well, I’ve put together a Summer Salads e-book because I do win friends with salad. When most people think of a salad, they think of a sad bowl of…
Lemon-Rosemary Grilled Tofu Sandwich
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…
Sriracha Mac from YumUniverse From Pantry to Plate
This Sriracha Mac from YumUniverse From Pantry to Plate is comfort food at its finest. It is creamy, cheesy, spicy goodness – all packed into one little bowl. I have a lot of vegan cookbooks. Seriously. I should probably enter myself into some sort of 12-step program. None of them have impressed me as much…

Sante Fe Vegan Breakfast Quesadillas
Breakfast doesn’t get any tastier than these vegan breakfast quesadillas! Loaded with peppers, onions, and tofu, this dish is definitely something worth waking up for! A few weeks ago, I shared a recipe for The Vegan Popeye Tofu Scramble, which is my version of a dish from a local pancake house. Today, I’m sharing another…
Praise Seitan
One of my favorite vegan protein sources is seitan. Despite how the name sounds, seitan isn’t food of choice for satanic vegans, it’s actually a tasty meatless food made from wheat gluten. It’s pronounced as it looks – say-tan. As a meat substitute, seitan isn’t quite as popular in mainstream cuisine as tofu yet. Maybe…
Roasted Chickpea Taco Salad with Creamy Chipotle Lime Dressing
Taco Salad gets a tasty makeover with roasted chickpeas, creamy chipotle lime dressing, and Beanfields Pico de Gallo Rice and Bean Chips. This salad is great for both lunch or dinner! I’m a sucker for tacos. I make them at least once a week, and I’m constantly playing with fillings and toppings, so I rarely make…
Vegan Disco Fries
Drizzled with cashew cheese sauce and mushroom gravy, these Vegan Disco Fries are perfect for late night snacking. I participated in VeganMoFo last year, posting food photos on Instagram to correspond with each daily prompt. One of the suggestions was to post a dish that’s close to home, something from your own country, state, or…
