If you are anything like me, whenever you have seen this vegetable at the grocery store you have likely walked right on by. I never thought that I liked cabbage when in actuality, I just never cared to try it. About one month ago I cooked with [...]

I have mentioned before that one of my favorite foods that I miss from my meat-eating days is my dad's meatloaf. There was always just something so delicious and comforting about sitting down to that meal. You may remember, though, that I have found an awfully delicious substitute in my [...]
My first experience with falafel was a good one. My second experience was even better! I can honestly say that my love for falafel began at first bite. And considering my obsession (yes, I admit that it is a bit of an obsession) with chickpeas, my devotion to falafel should [...]
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 [...]

So, this is the first edition of "Omaha Eats" that I have mixed feelings about. Does this edition discuss a restaurant with delicious food? You bet! But would I eat there again? That is still to be determined. The Greenbelly is a health-focused and environmentally-friendly restaurant in West Omaha, Nebraska. [...]
What does this picture remind you of? Scrambled eggs, right? Well...not quite! It is actually tofu! Tofu is often used as a substitute for meat in vegetarian and vegan dishes, but did you know that it makes a great substitute for scrambled eggs? I have read about and heard of [...]
