If you haven't visited my food blog, I've now posted nearly 60 recipes, including this newest one for Vegan Swedish Meatballs made with my savory cashew cream gravy. If you're aiming to cut the meat and eat more veggies (with some pizazz!), be sure to check it out.😋

While planning a trip to Scotland this year, I've learned a few things about traditional Scottish fare. Turns out that many, if not most, restaurants and pubs in all the Scottish towns we will be visiting offer not just a few "vegetarian options," but a full vegan menu! I've been curious about the names I've discovered for some of Scotland's traditional dishes, like Scottish Porridge, Cullen Skink, Neeps & Tatties; the list could go on! Learning what goes into these dishes is key to creating something yummy - 'plant-style.' Here's my plant-based take on an easy and popular Scottish dish, Mince & Tatties. Hope you enjoy!

We are traveling to Scotland this year, and I couldn't be more excited! But having turned to a plant-based diet just over a year ago, we know that eating healthful vegan dishes while away from home sometimes can be a challenge - perhaps even more so in a foreign country. So I've gone to work setting...

Tortellini is one of my absolute favorite comfort foods! When I transitioned to a 100% plant-based diet, I thought that I would have to give up my delicious cheese tortellini forever. But then I discovered cashew ricotta tortellini! It's absolutely fabulous and works well with all kinds of vegan dis...

New recipe post on the blog today... Ginger-spiced Carrot & Lentil Soup (avec jeunes pousses d'épinards).😋 Super-easy; super-good!

Always looking for tasty ways to create delicious veggie-based soups, I decided this week to experiment with an ingredient I rarely use... Ginger! It isn't that I don't like Ginger; it's just an ingredient that I often don't think of using. I've seen other recipes for ginger-spiced soups that always...

I know what you're saying... "I don't have time to cook healthy meals!" All it takes is a little planning. The cashew ricotta cheese that I use for everything, from pizza to pasta, takes only 1 cup of cashews, some seasoning, and water! Make it once on the weekend, and you'll have enough to last for other easy & yummy meals all week long! I also keep little containers of sliced onions, tomatoes and mushrooms in my fridge. Having them ready to use makes throwing together a quick and healthy meal a piece of cake - or in this case, a piece of pizza!

As I've mentioned in a few of our podcasts, when Art and I first transitioned to a 100% plant-based diet, we did something a lot of newbie-vegans do... we bought a bunch of vegan alternatives, such as plant-based sandwich "meats and cheeses." It didn't take long before those pricey items ended up in...
