Whole Wheat, Peanut Butter, Banana, and Chocolate Chip Breakfast Squares

August 30, 2012 Breakfast

I probably shouldn’t call these breakfast squares. It somehow seems wrong to eat chocolate chips for breakfast. But they were vegan chips, so maybe that helps? Probably not. I guess I’ll have to take solace in the fact that the ingredients contain mostly whole wheat, peanut butter and banana. Mmm. Ingredients: Adapted from Peanut Butter, [...]

Summer Vegetable Soup

August 23, 2012 Soups and Stews

Soup is one thing I miss during summer. I love the simplicity of coming home from work, throwing vegetables in a pot of water, and sipping wine in a comfy chair while the broth bubbles. It’s probably the easiest way to eat vegetarian. It may be the easiest way to eat. My summertime meals are [...]

Mango and Canary Melon Gazpacho

August 9, 2012 Snacks

The first time I ever tasted gazpacho I was working in a four star restaurant in Knoxville, TN. It seemed a strange concept- cold. fruit. soup.- and I couldn’t really see the point. But that first taste was one I’ll never forget. It was sweet watermelon with a warmth from cayenne pepper, truly special. Gazpacho [...]

Vegan Fudge Pops

July 26, 2012 Desserts and Sweets

I don’t remember the first time I ever tried a fudge pop, but they’ve always been a classic favorite. Same with pudding pops. I would trade a thousand licks for a box of icy, chocolate popsicles. And I’d still want more. And then you grow up and look at the ingredients on the package and [...]

Pineapple, Mint and Coconut Milk Shake

July 23, 2012 Beverages

Here we are, midway through the summer. The heat these past months has steered me to lighter foods so that if I had to choose a theme for this summer’s eating, it would be, surprisingly, vegan.  It’s not something I consciously aspired to, but everyday decisions helped me get there. Being a vegetarian it’s easy [...]

I love soba noodles in the summer time. It feels like pasta, but lighter. And it’s even better with tender eggplant and crispy cabbage. I made this on a whim and was quite pleased. It’s a quick go-to summer meal that makes a great staple on the menu rotation. Get creative with the veggies and [...]

Canary Melon and Cilantro Salad

June 17, 2012 Salads

Allow me to introduce you to the canary melon. Canary melon is amazing. It’s sweet and juicy, like honeydew dipped in sugar crystals. You could eat it like candy for dessert. I discovered this delightful fruit by happenstance. I asked the grocer about it and he sliced one up on the spot to let me [...]

And the flavors are deliciously bold. Not to mention the texture. I cannot get enough of the crispy, cool lettuce, [...]

Mocha Chip and Ricemellow Creme Cookies

May 17, 2012 Cookies

I been experimenting with ricemellow creme (whipped brown rice syrup) ever since one of my readers pointed out the contradiction of posting recipes incorporating marshmallows on a vegetarian food blog. Zing! She had a point and here I am. I’m impressed with the results of using ricemellow creme. It gives the cookies a pillow-soft texture [...]
