Aquafaba: Vegan Meringue

Aquafaba: Vegan Meringue

A couple weeks back, my dear friend Jenn added me to a facebook group called Vegan Meringue: Hits and Misses. At first, I had no idea why, and then I became really intrigued. Regular readers to this blog will know that, while I’m not vegan, 

Thug Kitchen: Vegan Tacos

Thug Kitchen: Vegan Tacos

Tacos!!! What is it about tacos?? They are the kind of thing you can eat with one hand, and you can pretty much make them with anything. They are a delicious, self-contained unit that includes all four food groups. And you know what else?? They’re 

Energy Bites {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

Energy Bites {Vegan, Gluten-Free}

One BIG challenge of being a food blogger is that you are always getting invites to amazing dinners and tastings. I’m not complaining, mind you, but sometimes it’s hard to fit in healthy eating in and around the fried chicken (which I ate last night).

As a blogger, and someone who works in social media, I pay pretty close attention to trends in blogging. One great trend I’ve been happy to see is when food bloggers get cookbook deals. It happened to my friend Liz, and it’s happened to a 

Coconut Yogurt (Vegan)

I can’t think of a time where I had so much trouble with a recipe. I set out, months ago, to make a truly vegan yogurt, and I have failed so many times, I’ve lost count. I was determined, though, to make it work, and

Vegan Pate with Lentils, Cashews and Shitakes

With the holidays coming up, many of us are probably thinking of entertaining. Or you will likely get asked to parties, and may be required to bring something along. Last week, I confessed that I wanted to entertain more… and so I did! I had 

Vegan Panna Cotta with Blueberry-Balsamic Compote

Vegan Panna Cotta with Blueberry-Balsamic Compote

Earlier this summer, I fell in love with panna cotta. Panna cotta is like creme brulee’s country cousin; it’s still a creamy, pudding-like dream, but it doesn’t require eggs. It’s thickened, instead, with gelatin. Now, gelatin makes me a little nervous. I’m unsure where exactly
