Miso Glazed Cauliflower Salad w Mango Dressing
I don’t know about you but weather really influences what I eat. In the summer we eat light and a lot more raw food. But in the winter, cooked grains and delicious hearty veggies seem to call my name. This quinoa “salad” with miso glazed cauliflower and creamy mango-lime dressing is one of those recipes…
Stuffed Squash with Sage Cashew Cream
It is that wonderful time of year again when our palates start to crave root veggies, squash and heartier food. It is my favorite time of year! I love the crisp snap in the air and especially pulling out sweaters and socks! It’s at this time of year, our bodies start yearning for more calories,…
Tofu Lettuce Cups
I have loved lettuce cups for years. There is something so tantalizing about the spicy filling juxtaposed with the refreshing, cool lettuce. I want to say it’s a party in your mouth but seriously, that is not one of my favorite ways to describe food. Even if it is true. I have researched recipes for…
Vegan Hazelnut Brownies with Cacao Frosting
These hazelnut brownies are kind of an accidental post. It all started with a bag of hazelnut flour. I had used the bulk of it making the crust for a strawberry rhubarb galette (kind of a free-form pie without a pie plate) last weekend. The galette was pretty tasty but the crust still needed a…
Orange Glazed Tempeh
Did you know that Tempeh is actually more nutritious than both tofu and edamame? And all those rumors that soy is bad for you? The latest studies are showing that soy phytoestrogens actually protect against breast cancer and other cancers. Even if you have had breast cancer, soy can be beneficial. Please note: we are…

I am bringing you another cooked recipe from our healthy vegan cooked collection! Vegan Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms! And the pesto is made from basil, avocados and pecans! But wait, the recipe calls for the avocado to be cooked? I think you will be amazed by the results. Remember, it is only one ingredient in the…
The Ravens’ Eggplant Cannoli
Jeff Stanford graciously gave me permission to reprint this recipe for Eggplant Cannoli from The Ravens Restaurant. You can also find it in their cookbook, “Dining at the Ravens: 150 delicious plant based recipes”. This dish was one of my favorites when I was recently up there for a weekend away with my husband. I…
Simple Vegan Garlic Acocado Bean Dip
This recipe contains cooked beans. It is part of our transitional (part cooked part raw) collection. I am constantly trying to figure out ways to get more beans in our diet. Why more beans? They are nutritional powerhouses. And because they fit in both the protein and vegetable group, they do double duty! Not only…
Sweet Potato Broccoli Salad with Garlic-Ginger Tahini Sauce
I was tired. And I didn’t want to cook. But I wanted something super healthy and super healing. Take-out just never seems to fit that bill. It had to be fast, easy and delicious. We seem to have an over abundance of sweet potatoes around (one should always check before going shopping and buying a…

A great time for these delicious, easy savory Sweet Potato Patties! This recipe is part of our cooked…
