Happy Thanksgiving!! I must say, my first vegetarian Thanksgiving was a huge success!  I may have "missed out" on turkey, stuffing, and gravy, but I sure do not feel like I missed much!  Following depicts "What I Ate...for Thanksgiving!"             The morning started out with a delicious pumpkin treat:   [...]

With the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow and a very busy day/week in progress, this week's "What I Ate Wednesday" post is going to be a bit different.  Rather than documenting what I eat today (there is literally no spare time in my day today to do this! :( ), I will highlight a few of my [...]

Do you remember eating these?                 ....or, maybe you still eat them? ;) I used to eat Hot Pockets a lot (pre-vegetarian), especially during my college years.  Never once did I look at the nutritional facts or the ingredients list, and quite frankly, I did not care to.  [...]

I love macaroni and cheese.  It is hearty.  It is comforting.  It is down right delicious!  I would probably eat mac and cheese every week if it was...well, a bit healthier!  My cravings for comfort foods, like mac and cheese, are always in full swing around this time of year, and lucky for me (and you!) squash [...]

              Happy Wednesday!!  We are more than half-way through the week and almost half-way through the month of November.  Seriously, where has the time gone?  I cannot believe that it is almost December!   But instead of focusing on how fast time is flying by, lets focus on the fact [...]

You may have started to notice a pattern here on the blog.  I seem to have an obsession with soups and stews!  Now that it is "soup season," I have found myself making either a pot of soup or stew at least once per week.  Why, you ask?  Well, first of all, soups and stews [...]

By now, you are probably more than aware of my love for sweet potatoes.  I like them sautéed, mashed, baked, roasted, as french fries, etc., etc., etc.  Basically, they are just plain good!  When I saw a recipe for sweet potato hash on Ashlee's blog , my eyes and my stomach were both instantly intrigued.  A sweet [...]
