Last night we had some friends over. I made a huge pot of veggie chili, and I made this delicious tart.
This was my first time making a tart. It was so incredibly easy to make, and came together in almost no time. The custard recipe was really delicious, and my friends where left wondering how [...]

Vegan Fruit Tart
Falafel with Tahini Dressing
It’s been about two years since I last made falafels. I’m not sure why it has been so long, I am crazy about these tasty little fritters. As a kid my mom used to buy a mix, that I believe you just added egg and water to. This however is really so simple, [...]
Muhammara
I kept seeing pictures of this incredibly vibrant colored dip in several blogs. I had never heard of it, but looking at the photos and the list of ingredients really got my mouth watering!
So, when I was flipping through an old issue of Fine Cooking, and saw another recipe for muhammara, I knew I [...]
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal raisin cookies have been a long time family favorite. Chocolate chip cookies have nothing on the almighty oatmeal raisin.

Mung Dal Soup with Tomatoes
Yesterday I received in the mail something I foresee becoming very near and dear to my heart, very quickly. I got quite possibly the most in depth, and also most intimidating Indian cookbook I have ever seen; Lord Krishna’s Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking.
With over 500 recipes it was hard to choose [...]
Veganomicon Tempeh Shepherd’s Pie
Yesterday I got two lovely little surprises in one nice little package from Amazon. One being 5 Spices, 50 Dishes, and the other being Veganomicon. Last night I dove right into Veganomicon and made the macaroni and cheese recipe. Both Russ and I loved it. Russ is a total non [...]
Potato Salad
Since I recently made the jump into vegan-ism, I have been experimenting a lot with old dishes I love. I am still a bit apprehensive about venturing into the land of certain vegan products such as vegan mayonnaise. I prefer not to use fake cheese or fake mayonnaise in dishes, but rather [...]
