Are you tired of chili yet?  No?  Good!  What about the freezing cold weather?  Are you tired of that yet?  Yyyeah, me too!  I am glad we agree on both of those.  Since we are all still loving on chili, I have a delicious recipe to share with you.  And, because it has been so bitterly [...]

A lot of my creative (or some may think "weird") recipes come about when I am lying in bed at night and cannot sleep.  This is great and all, but it is also a little bit inconvenient since it a) interrupts my sleep and b) causes me to have to get out of bed to [...]

I have a confession to make.  As a meat-eater, I never liked chicken salad.  In fact, the idea of it totally repulsed me.  Now, as a mostly plant-based eater, I eat some of the strangest things.  Well, they are really only strange to my former meat-eating self.  I hate regular mayonnaise, but I love vegan [...]

Welcome to the first Friday Foodie Favorites of 2014!  I had to think a little bit when I was writing the title to this post.  I am still not used to it being 2014 and not 2013.  I have a feeling it will take me several weeks to fully get used to that.  But 2014 [...]

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  And now that New Years is on the brain, it would not be right if I did not share a 2013 wrap-up post focused on one of my favorite topics and the main topic of this blog: FOOD!  This was my first year following a [...]

Tofu Banh Mi Salad

in Other, Salads

Tofu, anyone?  No?  You don't like tofu?  Tofu scares you?  Tofu intimidates you?  Well, it is about time that we change that, don't you think?  With just a little bit of practice, you will come to find that tofu is actually super simple to prepare and it is also super delicious.  I love tofu baked by [...]

Happy Monday, Friends!  Am I the only one who is super excited about the short work week ahead of us?  Yeah, I'm guessing that I am probably not! ;)  I just have two and a half days of work left and then I am home free (literally).  Unfortunately, since my brother is in his first [...]

There are some foods out there that just scream meat, don't you think?  For me, the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is one of them.  The idea of turning a Philly into a vegan sandwich was somewhat baffling to me...at first.  But then, I tried the vegan Philly "Cheesesteak" Sandwich at a local restaurant called Block 16.  It [...]

Meatloaf, smeatloaf!  Who needs it when you can have lentil loaf?  You may think I'm being a bit facetious with that comment, but I am 100% dead serious here, people.  Lentil loaf is where it's at!  I definitely no longer miss meatloaf like I used to since I discovered lentil loaf.  I have cooked up The [...]
