Doable Vegan: Hummus Bowls
Hummus is a newer taste I’ve acquired. That has been the case for a lot of the foods I eat now. My brain had been so wired for the ultra-processed, that it has taken time away from them to readjust my palate. I share this with you in case you feel like this post is…

Doable Vegan: Family Menu Board
I am the only plant-based eater in my home. For the past year, I’ve been making two to three dishes for dinner each night. Unfortunately, I typically put the most energy and thought into my own dishes, and then just heat something up for the guys. Usually it is something highly processed and not good…

Doable Vegan: Tofu Pancetta Carbonara
Carbonara is such a comfort food. The ingredients are fairly simple, but the traditional dish is definitely not vegan. The flavors in this dish can easily be replicated with plant-based ingredients. Cutting the tofu into small chunks is key in this recipe. First, it mimics the true shape and size of pancetta, and second, it…

Doable Vegan: Tuscan Orzo Dump and Bake
Dump and bake recipes are a great way to ease into simple cooking while also creating a meal full of flavor and diverse with plants. This specific recipe is a Tuscan take on the idea, but you could easily change the flavor profile to Mexican, Thai, Greek, or any other flavor you desire. I simply looked in…

New Series Coming Soon: Doable Vegan
Earlier this month, my dad received news that areas of his health are declining. Much of the advice given to improve his health was diet related-lower his sodium, eat less processed foods, etc. My dad is eager to make diet changes and he is impressed by what I have been able to make as I’ve moved to…

Grow Your Own Microgreens
You may notice microgreens at your local market or grocery store. These sprouts are packed with nutrients and are a great addition to your diet. The problem is that buying them at the store reduces their freshness and limits what types of microgreens you have access to. Not to mention they are definitely overpriced and using more plastic…

Tikka Masala Masterpiece
I can’t say that I ate Tikka Masala before going vegan, but I will sure be eating this vegan version a lot. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare it to in terms of authenticity, but this dish was heavenly. I modified Max LaManna’s mushroom dish to use tofu instead and I added a little mango chutney on…

A Year of Change
This year has been full of change and growth – going vegan, giving up alcohol, finding peace in meditation, and so much more. Here is a reflection on 2023 for me. (I kind of sound like a hippie, don’t I?)

Combating Illness
The past month and a half has been rough for our household. So many bugs going around and we can’t quite seem to shake the cold/virus/whatever this is. Today I made a soup that will hopefully build up some immunity and its anti-inflammatory properties will kick some symptoms out of here. In the past I have not…

I Am No Longer Alcohol’s Prisoner
Alcohol, specifically wine, has been a big part of my life for quite some time. My love for drinking began at a time when I was very shy and desperately wanting to fit in. Drinking allowed me to relax and open up-to help me be social. Beyond giving me a false confidence in myself, it…
