Sundried Tomato Scrambled Tofu

Perhaps the hardest thing to give up when attempting a vegan lifestyle are eggs.Let's face it.Just type in google images right now "breakfast ideas" and watch what comes up.In fact, I will do it for you now and tell you what I got:Pancakes (made with 1 egg).Breakfast Burritos (made with egg whites).Spinach and Mushroom Frittatas (made with 4 eggs).Over easy egg and avocado (made with eggs...I gues

Strawberry Banana Cream Smoothie {Sugar, Dairy & Soy Free}

I have been/am still of the persuasion that a healthy fruit smoothie does not require sugar, or artificial sweeteners that are not plant-based.Smoothies simply require good fruit (or vegetables) and a plant derived sweetener, if desired. With that being said, adding yogurt to smoothies has become a bit of a craze lately. It is said that the smoothie tends to be more whipped and creamy in text

Lemon Ginger Blast Juice {Adapted from Lou Corona}

Eating and drinking can be fun, but healing is always important - true nourishment for the body. And thanks to web research, I found this juice to be truly healing.However, You really have to be careful in health matters who you trust as an internet authority. There will always be those who are overly zealous about one particular "thing" doing the healing trick, and I am more and more convenced th

Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce {Homemade & Preservative Free}

If you are looking for a recipe to make that delicious sweet red chili sauce that you get from Asian restaurants this is it, and it's rather simple. My husband and I love asian food, and what we know about Asian food is, the sauce is the key!I shared a post on this when I shared how to make fresh spring rolls, but I wanted to make this post for those that did not go to that one and

Fresh Spring Rolls w/ Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce

I remember those extremely busy days for my husband and I back between 2010 and 2011. I mean, don't get me wrong, we are always busy, but I mean at that time we were just so busy that sometimes we couldn't fathom the thought of cooking.Yes, those type days exist, even for gluten free vegans...That was an okay time though to be super busy, yet hungry because at that time we were living in Santa Cru

Garlic & Cilantro Baked Home Fries

Here is another twist to home fries.If you remember, I posted a recipe already for simple oven baked home fries. However, Mrs. Dash is not always easy to come by. So I wanted to post a recipe for some that didn't require it.These are not your usual homefries though. They are super savory!These have a lot of flavor and look so beautiful when plated beside your main breakfast dish, or even as an acc

Vegan Mexican Sopes {Sopes de Frijoles}

A beautiful and lovely friend of my husband and I, comes to mind when I think of sopes. Again, heritage talk - I love Mexican food - It is in my veins! And I love all things authentic (that means "no" to both Taco Bell & Taco Time), and homemade.One thing that the friend I told you about, Maria, taught us was how to make good and soft sopes.(pronounced 'soap-ess')I remember trying her sopes on

Homemade Guacamole

Guacamole is one of those favorites of mine that can go with virtually anything, I am almost sure of that! It goes well with tortilla chips, sweet potato chips, (my new favorite) lentil chips, rice, tortillas, sandwiches, raw veggies, and the list goes on. Avocados just make the most perfect buttery smooth dip.Again, a little culture coming out here, but I love guacamole with almost ever

In case you do not know by now, my husband is a Jamaican American.Interestingly though, most people who know us, would never guess that to be the case due to his perfectly American accent (what is an American accent???) ~ He is American in almost every way except for two:#1- The accent he gets (unbeknownst to himself) when around family.#2- When he is cooking in the kitchen (he is a real Jamaican

Mixed Berry Compote with a Vanilla Cupcake Crumble

Mixed Berry Compote was {all jokes to the side} one thing that I never had a desire to make.You know how it is when someone else makes something so good that you never even want to mock it because it was just that good?That was me...For all of these years, I avoided making it because I didn't think I could make a compote that was as good as I had it once when I lived in Laurelwood, Oregon (Ye

Spinach and Cheese Quesadillas

Avocado Green Fitness Smoothie

Avocados are actually considered to be one of the worlds most healthiest fruits. Yes a fruit, and yes very very healthy for you. Especially if you are into working out and are looking for some healthy fats in your diet.I must admit that early on in my "healthful living" experience, I was not particularly fond of avocados.Don't get me wrong, I loved guacamole, but just eating an avocado - no way.Wh

Cranberry Pecan Quinoa Pilaf

Quinoa.I use to pronounce it "Key-Noah".I have heard people pronounce it "Queen-Noah".But realize that it is originally and permanently pronounced "Keen-WAH".But, Quinoa.It is an ancient grain that I would say gained a lot of popularity in 2011 and 2012.It is not of the rice or wheat family, and is naturally gluten free.It is one of those amazing grains for its light and fluffy texture,

Warm Banana Bread Oatmeal

Who ever said that breakfast had to be healthy and boring?I know some people that in a pursuit of health, sacrifice taste and make eating healthy look like such a chore. But, the good news is, it does not have to be. Neither does it have to be when it comes to oats.There are so many things you can do with oats.I love oats.Oatmeal is one of those dishes that (lets face it), I have never h

Vegan and Gluten Free "Chocolate" Cupcakes

I think I can say with confidence that there is no other thing that I love to bake more than cupcakes. It just makes me happy. A very positive form of de-stressing.They make the house smell amazing too!Cupcakes are just so fun (and quick once you get the hang of it), and can become sort of a family staple dessert (I know they are for my family).I honestly do cupcakes more than cakes because there

Mixed Berry "Green" Smoothie

I love green smoothies.I love them a lot.I have them every single morning for breakfast - and actually crave them. Smoothies are my favorite form of breakfast.So anyway,I was thinking "why not add into my green smoothies all of the berries I can find?"After all, they are the most amazing little, but super "super foods", and they are absolutely packed with compounds that are key in having a long an

Decadent Gluten Free Vegan Brownies

The list goes on

Sophie's Kitchen Expands Vegan/Gluten Free "Seafood" Line

I have been recieving a lot of questions as of late on good vegan seafood options. And, while I realize that there are the "faux shrimp" options in conventional grocery stores, there is one brand that stands out to me in the faux seafood industry that is both healthy, vegan, and natural. Sophie's Kitchen. Sophie's Kitchen is a brand of vegan mock seafood that I originally found whil

Dunkin’ Donuts Tests Gluten-Free Goods

Looks like Dunkin' Donuts is sort of ahead of the pastry game and is attempting the unthought of (for a company like theirs that is).Unlike Pizza Hut and Morning Star Farms claiming that they "have no plans on offering gluten free", obviously these guys are smart and caught "wind" of the gluten free trend (yes by medical diagnosis, self-diagnosis and fad).A few companies are in a race to meet the
