Towards the end of last summer I wrote a post about campfire cooking along with a couple of campfire recipes, one for tofu scramble and one for black bean soup. Before last season I hadn’t really ever tried to ‘cook’ while camping, unless you count putting a hot dog on a stick and roasting it as cooking. Now, I’m addicted to making at-home style meals over the campfire. It’s a fun challenge and it’s something I probably never would have …

As promised, I’m back this week with a killer Sandwich Queen recipe – this time we are bringing the heat and some fancy technique to the grilled cheese sandwich! When I first saw the original recipe for this sandwich I was a bit dismayed because it calls for marscapone cheese. Now, I’d only had this kind of cheese once or twice when I wasn’t vegan and I’d never seen a vegan version in stores (or anywhere for that matter), so …

A few weeks ago I wrote a review of Nutribiotic’s Vegan Rice Protein Powder and since I’ve been trying out a few different vegan protein powders, I wanted to follow-up that post with a comparison one for Life’s Basics Plant Protein Powder.
This protein powder is made by a company called Lifetime, which specializes in nutritional supplements. The one that I purchased is a chocolate flavored blend of pea, hemp, and rice proteins along with some chia seeds. I picked …

Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend! The weather here has been absolute perfection for the last couple of days, so naturally my mind has been fixated on grilling and burgers (of the vegan variety, of course). Though I don’t always grill my burgers, for some reason I always associate the two with one another.
As I was brainstorming new burger concoctions, my eyes rested on the plantain I had leftover from Cinco de Mayo. My plantain was a little beyond …

First of all, I want to say Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mommies out there! Hope you get breakfast in bed or at least a little quiet time
Secondly, I’m sorry I missed Thursday’s Sandwich Queen post. My sister-in-law got married this Friday so things have been hectic around here. I promise it’s a great recipe you won’t want to miss this Thursday though!
Now, on to this week’s best vegan recipes on the interwebs. I’ve …

Hi everyone! I know that Thursday is usually Sandwich Queen day, however, I’ve been super busy this week with some wedding festivities for my sister-in-law’s wedding coming up tomorrow so I thought I’d postpone today’s planned post until next Thursday. I promise it’s a good one though, so it will be worth the wait! One of the key components of next week’s sandwich can be used in tons of recipes, so you won’t want to miss it!
Ever since I …

I am always on the lookout for new vegan snacks. Though I try to limit my snack and sweet intake, I’m always up for trying something new that I can indulge on every once in a while. So, when I came across these Beanfields Bean and Rice Chips I knew I had to get my hands on some. I mean, when VegNews claims that something is the vegan answer to Doritos you can’t help but want to try them, like, now!
I …

The rain has finally subsided, so now I’m ready to bring out the grill! I love grilling season for many reason, most of which I expound on here – but today I will skip over all of the extraneous details of my love affair with the grill and jump right into the recipe!
When I’m not in the mood for a veggie dog or burger, skewers are my go-to grilling food. I love making an entire dinner out of grilled …

April showers bring May flowers, right? Well, it was storming here all weekend so I think Mother Nature may have gotten things a little backwards. Alas, I am still hoping and wishing for a little less showers and a little more flowers, therefore today’s crowdsource recipe is all about flowers. From using actual flowers in the dish to dishes that look like flowers, these recipes run the gamut!
Beans and Flowers – This is a super simple dish – seriously, …

Let me start by saying that I do not condone horse racing. I think it’s despicable and I would be happy if it were banned. That being said, I have a passion for history and tradition, and the Kentucky Derby is something that is steeped in both. While I won’t be watching the race, I’m not one to pass up the opportunity for a cocktail, especially one that has such deep ties to a region’s history.
So first, a little …
