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.

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…
