Growing up in Southern California, I’ve been to my fair share of taquerias. There was one taqueria in particular that my husband and I absolutely loved! My husband got to know the owners there when working at the photography store next to it. At the time he lived in a […]

Tempeh Ruben
Rubens are my favorite type of sandwich. The combination of rye bread with sauerkraut is absolutely scrumptious. If you haven’t noticed, I especially love tangy, vinegary flavors. At first I wasn’t sure how to make a Ruben vegan, and then I discovered the wonderful world of tempeh! You see, this […]
Ramen with Dry Fried Tofu
Sometimes I’m just in the mood for a large bowl of ramen. And it has to have lots of noodles, and be a tiny bit spicy, and maybe even garnished with lime juice. I’ve tried so many vegan ramen recipes over the years, but none of them have curbed my […]

This dessert is one of my kids favorite. Not only is it tasty, but it is a specialty of GG’s (Great Grandma). When I first had this dessert at one of my husband’s family gatherings, it was served as a side dish and they called it fruit salad. Confused, I […]

Tempeh Korean Tacos
My husband loves the K-town tacos from Veggie Grill. Every time we go there to eat he picks up a menu, picks out a couple new things that look good, hims and haws, and then orders the K-town tacos, like usual. So, when I think to myself “what dinner will […]
Vegan Monster Cookies
When I lived in Southern California, a good friend shared her tradition with me of baking cookies with her children every time it rained. I thought, “What a great idea!” And my children and I did that… that is until we moved to Oregon… the land of one big long […]
