Having a garden can be so fulfilling. From picking to preserving the process can be as long or as short as you want it to be and you can reap the benefits of your hard work for longer than your gardening season if you plan it. When I first started gardening, I started out small…
I was perusing Instagram the other day when I ran across a post of a fellow gardener pulling baby carrots from one of their garden beds. And I don't mean baby carrots like the ones you buy in the store that look like toe-nubs (sorry, but they do). The carrots they pulled out of the…
Spring transitioning into summer months is probably my favorite time of the year. The days aren't too hot yet and the evenings still cool down enough to wear a sweatshirt. It's the perfect weather for barbecuing. Cooking and eating outside is a warm weather activity that I wait for all year, and luckily, living in…
Summer is just about here and at my house that means it's time for all things zucchini! My garden has only two zucchini plants this year, but already I've harvested two and have 3 more growing.

Tofu is not something we eat very often in our house, but when I do make it, I want it to be as flavorful and least tofu-like as possible. This teriyaki bowl recipe is a great vegan substitute for a typical chicken teriyaki bowl with vegetables and rice. If you prefer to not include tofu,…
I could probably eat Mexican-style food every day for a year and not grow tired of it. Even eating as a vegan without real cheese, Mexican food is hands down some of the tastiest and satisfying type of food out there. I love this recipe in particular because it's packed with veggies, it's quick and…
I love pasta! Who doesn't, right? Red sauce is fairly easy to replicate as a vegan dish. It's easy because it's made of mostly vegetables. Simply omit the meat in meat sauce and you have a vegan red sauce (at least, usually). Alfredo can be a bit more tricky. It's creamy and thick and has…
I've almost reached 2 whole months of eating vegan, and I gotta say, I like how it's going. The food is delicious, made of fresh ingredients, and I don't feel like crap after eating it. This particular recipe is going to be a new favorite in my house because I always seem to have random…
