A simple, yet hearty chickpea salad recipe that is perfect for vegans and non-vegans alike! Some of you are probably thinking... "not another chickpea salad!" Or if you are like me, you may be thinking... "Yes! Another chickpea salad!" There are plenty of chickpea salads floating around the blogosphere- so many of which are extremely delicious- but [...]

This delicious egg salad incorporates the tastes of Summer produce: fresh peppers, peas, and tomatoes. I eat approximately 90% vegan and one of the main reasons why it is not 100% is because of my love for eggs. I really love eggs. Scrambled eggs. Poached eggs. Sunnyside-up eggs. Hardboiled eggs. Let's be real. Eggs are good [...]
A hearty Summertime pasta salad that is chocked full of veggies and is big on flavor. I was a picky child. I was picky about my hair. I was picky about my clothing (apparently I hated when my socks were twisted?). And I was most definitely extremely picky about my food. As a result, the fact [...]
This Asian Quinoa and Veggie Salad with Tempeh makes for the perfect meal for two or three or a fantastic pairing to any Summertime gathering. Fresh veggies, protein-packed tempeh, and saucy quinoa all come together for a refreshing dish. I have gone salad crazy up in here! And no, I am not referring to the [...]
I may be on vacation right now, but that does not mean I cannot stop by for a quick chit-chat. Who am I kidding? I typed this up weeks ago in preparation for today ;) Normally I invite guest posters to my blog when I take a vacation/blogcation, but sometimes even that can be a [...]
Berries are one of my go-to snacks. I often incorporate strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into my breakfasts. And berries in desserts make me oh-so happy. But I have to be honest. I have been longing to try to incorporate fresh berries into my main meals, and I am not just talking about eating them on the [...]

I'll admit it. I used to hate hashtags. And then I got Twitter. And then Instagram. And then I got sucked in. I am not a crazy hashtagger, but I do use my fair share of them. And because I am feeling rather lazy today, I am going to revert to my new friend- #thehashtag- for this [...]
Another chickpea salad? Yes, this is happening. I hope you are not too upset with me. But you see, I have an obsession with chickpeas and I especially love them in "salad" form. I admit it. I'm not ashamed of it. And to be honest, I am quite certain that these chickpea salads will continue [...]
This is my version of a buffalo "chicken" salad. It has all of the goods: Chickpeas, buffalo sauce, celery, carrots, and ranch dressing. Oh, and it is vegan! Serve this up in hearts of Romaine lettuce or on toasted bread for lunch, or eat it with crackers or rice cakes for a snack. No matter [...]
Since becoming a vegetarian who follows a mostly plant-based diet, I have really missed ranch dressing. I have found many other great vegan dressings to top my salads with, but my salads have just not been quite the same...until now. I made a vegan dill and ranch dressing, and I made it with tofu. Yes, tofu. [...]
