This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk. I am a little ashamed to admit this, but I am all hot cocoa-ed out for the Winter season. Don't get me wrong. I am still on board with chocolate, and warm drinks are perfect for the freezing cold evenings that have crept into March. But lately [...]
Product Review
Maybe some days you feel like eating fish. Other times, you may feel like eating vegan. So what happens if you have both feelings at the same time? In that situation, I'd recommend buying Fishless Filets from Gardein™ (garden + protein = gardein), whipping up an easy peasy homemade tartar sauce (recipe below), and going to town! You'll [...]

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 [...]
If there is one food product, kitchen appliance, or cookbook that I have talked about the most on my blog, it would easily have to be The Happy Herbivore cookbook collection. I first came across Lindsay's recipes about a year and a half ago, shortly after I had transitioned to a vegetarian diet. I was on [...]

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 [...]
