I love veggie burgers. I simply can’t get enough of them. I eat a veggie burger in one form or another at least three times per week. If it’s in the shape of a patty and it’s wedged between two buns, pass it my […]

All eyes are on my home state of Kentucky this week for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby. However, I’d like to turn your attention to a more animal-friendly point of pride for the state – Bourbon. I use […]

Combining chocolate and fruit is never a bad idea, in my opinion. It just makes sense. What could be better than two of my favorite foods joining forces? When I saw a recipe that unites peaches with chocolate […]

Tomatoes have been my favorite food since childhood, but even hardcore tomato sauce lovers like myself need to change up our pizzas every once in a while. This Artichoke and Olive Pizza has an artichoke […]

These muffins appear to be predictable, run of the mill chocolate chip muffins. Golden on the outside, polka dots on the inside. But after just one bite you’ll realize that you’re in for a delicious and nutritious […]

Chestnuts are a popular and delicious winter treat and are high in vitamin C, calcium and magnesium. In this recipe, chestnuts transform a traditional vegetable blend into a thick and creamy soup that will add […]

Before I adopted a vegan diet, I loved eating Nutella by the spoonful. I’d fill crêpes with the sweet spread, add a dollop to a bowl of fruit and stir it into a bowl of ice cream. It was my go-to topping and […]

This Peanut Butter Popcorn Fudge requires minimal prep time and zero baking. You can keep it sweet with plain popcorn or opt for lightly salted popcorn to give the fudge an extra kick of flavor. It’s sure […]

The holiday season is in full swing and my mind is on sweet treats! Although my dessert cravings are always strong, something about the holidays really kicks my sweet tooth into overdrive. To my delight, this is […]

Spring is finally upon us! Birds are singing, flowers are in bloom and the temperature is climbing past jacket stage and heading into shorts and flip flops territory. As for me, I’ve got one thing on my mind. Ice […]

This homemade Vegan Butterscotch Sauce recipe is simple to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. I love to drizzle it over ice cream and fruit, swirl it into cupcake batter and mix it […]

As the weather outside here in New York City turns crisp and blustery, I can’t help but feel drawn to traditional comfort foods. Unfortunately, traditional recipes are oftentimes inclusive of meat, eggs and […]

Pineapple upside down cake is one of my favorite cakes for summer. The caramelized brown sugar that coats the top compliments the tangy pineapple slices as if they were made for each other. This cake is moist and […]

The delicious reward is well worth the time it takes to create this Dried Apple Stack Cake with Molasses Cream Cheese Frosting. While the actual preparation time is only slightly longer than that of your average […]

I fell in love with potato-based treats during a vacation to the Canadian Maritimes last summer. A tourist brochure in our little beach house contained a recipe for a beautiful potato cake, which I eagerly […]

These Coconut Oatmeal Cookies with Coconut Glaze add a seasonal twist to a classic treat that many of us find so familiar and comforting. To create this delicious pairing, I found non-vegan recipes from Whole […]

This vegan banana cake is one of my all-time favorites. It’s an excellent example of an incredibly moist and dense cake that doesn’t include eggs or dairy in the recipe. The cake is delicious on its own, but it […]

The unofficial start of summer is upon us! Let’s celebrate the warmer, longer days ahead with a veggie burger packed full of flavor and topped with homemade tahini sauce. In addition to being delicious, these […]

Blended bananas are the perfect substitute for the traditional egg in this decadent Strawberry Pecan Stuffed French Toast recipe. A regular loaf of bread works great, or you can try slicing up a mini baguette for […]

In the past, I never really understood why anyone would bake fruit into a donut. I mean, the point of a donut is to be zero parts healthy and all parts delicious, correct? I thought that fruit belonged in muffins, […]
