Looks meaty, eh?  But don't let the picture fool you.  This pizza is vegan all the way. On occasion, the recipes that I share here on CEVG are rather elaborate.  This recipe?  Not so much.  I think you appreciate that now and then though, am I right?  If you can turn on your oven, chop [...]

I try to keep the majority of things on this blog focused on food/recipes/reviews, and this is certainly the most personal post I have ever written, but seriously...it needs to be said.  I apologize if this post seems a bit disheveled, but I had so many thoughts going on and it was tough to get it all [...]

There are some foods that you can just never go wrong with.  Nachos are definitely one of those foods. However, when I first started following a mostly plant-based diet, I figured that there were certain foods that I would no longer eat anymore- nachos being one of them.  I mean, let's be honest...  when you [...]

April already?  Is this real life?  When they say that time goes by more quickly as you age, they are right.  Time has been flying.  Noticing that now at the age of 26 scares me a little bit because it makes me think that by the time I am 50, one year will seem like [...]

Is it Monday already?  The weekend sure flew by, didn't it?  But I guess they almost always do.  We do have a few great things to look forward to for the coming week, though.  And one of those things- delicious food!  I don't know about you, but a tasty meal plan for the week always gives [...]

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 [...]

Happy Wednesday, friends!  How is your week treating you so far?  Mine has been good.  It started out with a Birthday Monday (you can never go wrong with those, right?) and both Monday and Tuesday have been quick.  That is how I like my work week to be!  Now let's hope the rest of the [...]

Today is a special day.  Well, I'd like to think so at least.  Today is my 26th birthday!  Each year that my birthday rolls around, I become more and more surprised and amazed that I am as old as I am.  I do not feel 26.  Granted, I do not really think that I look [...]

Happy Friday!  And boy, is it a happy Friday for me!  I took off work three hours early yesterday afternoon and headed back home to Iowa.  I am spending my birthday weekend with my family, puppy dogs, boyfriend, and friends and could not be happier.  Home is where the heart is, right? I have a [...]

I am really excited that it is Wednesday.  This week's Wednesday is my Thursday because I am heading home to Iowa tomorrow afternoon for the weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday and my birthday, to see my parents (and their new puppy dog!), to snuggle my doodles, and to finally spend time with the bf [...]
