Before this meal, I had only ever heard of stuffed peppers. I saw them on menus at restaurants, in recipes in health and cooking magazines, and on television cooking shows. Despite their frequent appearance in the food world, I must admit that the idea of eating a whole pepper was [...]

You may remember from my recent post for "Meatloaf" Veggie Burgers that one of the only foods that I really miss since becoming a vegetarian is my dad's meatloaf. I have developed a great alternative with my Vegetarian "Meatloaf," but wanted to spice things up a bit (literally) and make a Mexican [...]
In my 23 years of life as a meat-eater, I can specifically remember eating sauerkraut only one time. And I specifically remember absolutely hating the taste of it! During my early college days I picked a Reuben sandwich off of the buffet line at the cafeteria out of pure curiosity. [...]

More than a year after adopting a vegetarian diet, I am still continually amazed by the foods that I not only eat, but crave. Did I like BBQ pulled pork sandwiches before I ate a vegetarian diet? I did not hate them, but I sure did not crave them and [...]
I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a good chili soup! There is just something so comforting about chili. Generally, I go the more traditional route and make Vegetarian Chili. Sometimes I like to spice things up by adding soyrizo to my chili. This time, however, I wanted to spice things [...]
