The Cheap and Vegan Beauty Product You’re Not Using

I have very dry skin. I mean, it's super dry. When I don't moisturize, my skin feels cracked and old. And if I miss my feet, it looks like I was playing kickball with flour. I decided for this unprecedented heatwave the entire nation is experiencing, I needed to go way back to the basics of skin care. Instead of slithering myself with the best overpriced lotion money could

Vegan Chilaquiles

  I decided to try something different for my vegan tastes. (For those new to the blog, I'm not vegan but I do make a lot of plant-based and vegan dishes because my body likes it). I really did like this recipe, though I thought the sodium content was a wee bit high for my taste (and I didn't use that much salt). I did make it a little more spicy

What the JackFruit?!

I'll be very clear - I'm not vegan. I have no desire to become vegan, but I do have a lot of respect of those who are vegan. And I have to admit - vegan food has definitely benefited my health. I've lost weight, I have more energy, and I feel better overall. That's why I keep preparing vegan dishes and sharing with you all what I find or

Oh-So Tempeh

The risk of being healthier is sometimes taking a plunge into the unknown and trying certain foods and vegetables you wouldn't dream of eating. Why would you eat something you never heard of?

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),

Vegan Restaurant Review – Kitchen Mouse Los Angeles, CA

I decide to switch up the vegan posts a little but venturing outside of my comfort zone and going to a vegan restaurant. I've been to vegan restaurants before and I've enjoyed them. However, vegan restaurants can often be a hit or miss. Some have their flavoring down to a science and some should pick up a seasoning book, but I digress. So, I've heard a lot about one of

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 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.
