Every Day I’m Brusselin’

I'm actually about that life instead of having cute towels that I'll never actually use because they are simply for decoration. But no, I do eat my veggies and a lot of them. At least I try to: Now, I have to admit: I was never a Brussels sprouts girl. They weren't on my list of, 'Oh, how yum!' growing up. Ever since I smelled them being boiled (and trust, they

Vegetarian Snack: Brie x Cucumber Open Sandwiches

So, originally I was going to post about the vegan sautéed red chard I just made. However, I didn't take a pic of it so, LOL, I'm going to have to wait a couple days to remake it and take a pic of it. However, last night, I did make vegetarian brie x cucumber sandwiches last night. I had a lot of brie and a lot of cucumbers and I thought,

You Must Try This Vegan Curry!

Sometimes it's complicated to find a tasty homemade vegan recipe. I mean, let's face it, how many times can you fry, bake, puree, and toast tofu? However, there are always exceptions to every rule. I found this recipe and was eager to try it. I had many of the ingredients already on hand and only had to pick up a few at the grocery store. I even took numerous photos

Vegan Collard Greens

I'm not sure if I posted this recipe before but I have to say when some things are made accidentally, they can sometimes be the best results. Last Thanksgiving as I was preparing a meal for my family, I decided to make collard greens. I haven't made collard greens in forever and I legit forgot how much time it takes. Between the washing and soaking (and more washing and soaking),

This Just Might Be the Best Vegan Spaghetti Sauce You’ll Ever Taste

And I totally came up with it! I love making homemade spaghetti sauce for the simple fact it's healthier and I know what's in it. Nothing against those who buy the store kind (that's good, too), but you know when you make something homemade, you didn't put any extra preservatives and other crap in it. You know it's fresh and hopefully, yummy. So, I usually make the spaghetti sauce with the

Vegan Wednesday: Vegetable Soup!

Okay, so for some of you vegans out there, you've probably had vegetable soup. In fact, I can imagine you've probably had a ton of them. But this is new to me (for clarification, I'm not vegan but once a week, I go completely meat-free. I'm also working on going completely dairy-free once a week.) I'm battling a cold and I learned the last time we had illness in the

You Might Want To Try These Vegan Fajitas

Originally I was going to make vegan tacos but I figured I already made those. And plus, I needed blog material for the week (smile!) But Google has been my longtime friend and we never fight so I figured it was have a suggestion for me. Enter vegan fajitas. Now here's the end product but let's take it step-by-step on how it got there... I chose four bell peppers, though I only used

Homemade Chicken (Noodle) Soup

I know I normally post vegan recipes on Wednesdays but I'll include a long-favorite recipe I'm making tonight at the end of this post. Lately, my hubby has come down with something that has made him sick. It seems everyone at his work is sick and well, it was his lucky turn to get it. Funnnn. So, I went to Trader Joe's to pick him up some of their yummy chicken

Vegan Arugula Salad

Normally, I do my vegan and vegetarian recipes on Wednesdays. However, I didn't post last Wednesday and I only discovered this recipe on Thursday (go figure). But better late than never, right? It's hella simple to make and it tastes so freaking good! Before I get to the recipe portion, let's talk about some of the benefits of arugula; some of this is brand-new to me! It's healthy as shit for you.
