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.

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?

Oh-So Vegan: Portobello Mushroom Tacos

You can always take a favorite and make it better...or better yet, go to someone else's blog and use what they did! I did modify the recipe just a little. I didn't get a chance to use the roasted bell pepper sauce

You Might Want to Try this Roasted Veggies Meal. So Bae.

For those keeping track at home, I'm still very much committed to my new healthier lifestyle. I had the option of getting a cheeseburger but I chose to have a grilled turkey sandwich (from Starbucks, no less) instead. Go me! And speaking of healthier lifestyles, I recently discovered this recipe. Now, I made it with chicken, however, I feel if you substitute the chicken with tofu, it'll be a great

This homemade falafel recipe is so bae.

I have to admit the one thing about this vegetarian (or semi-vegetarian) experiment is the creative and wonderful dishes I've been exploring. Today, I'm about to make a sweet potato soup. But the other night, I decided to really step out of my comfort zone and make falafel. The experiment taught me that I do need a better food processor (not all of the chickpeas were blended and required extra blending),
