Every time I make scrambled tofu and post pics on facebook and instagram I get messages asking how to make it. So today I figured it was time to share my recipe for scrambled tofu. This recipe is adapted from a Scrambled Tofu in the Follow Your Heart cookbook but I rarely stick to a recipe (ask Bob he'll tell you!). I go with what feels right, rather than weighing and measuring, and I tend to switch out ingredients depending on what I have on hand. Plus sometimes, recipes just seem way too …

Meatless Monday: Dairy-Free alternatives
You may not know it but some vegan bloggers, like myself, often receive disdain from some other vegans because we choose to promote Meatless Mondays, in fact I'm a Meatless Monday blogger. Not sure what Meatless Monday is? It's when non-vegans choose to choose to go plant based for one day. As a Meatless Monday blogger I help by uploading recipes, food posts, reviews and more. Sounds good right, so what's the problem? Some vegans think that everyone should just go vegan, the end. As someone who …
Vegan Cuts Beauty Box – November box review
Hello cruelty free friends! As I review the November Vegan Cuts Beauty Box I want to share my beauty box epiphany I had recently. Back when I was scrapbooking and cardmaking, I'd buy all these fabulous products then save them for "the perfect project" and yep, you guessed it, that project never came along. So I amassed more and more stuff. Well turns out I was doing the same with the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box products! "Oh can't use that eyeshadow, got to wait for till I finish using this old one", …
Review: Amy’s Thai Red Curry
Being on vacation recently was the perfect opportunity to indulge a little. We drank, we ate, we were merry. I know for some vacationing in a Condo might not sounds like a good idea because you still have to cook and clean (occasionally) but I loved having breakfast on the lanai right by the ocean, being able to prepare our own snacks and drinks at anytime. Plus you can't beat the fact that it's more convenient and cheaper. We did eat out too but most meals were had in the condo which meant …
One Pot cooking: Chik’n Pasta
So I'm going to admit that I'm a lazy cook. I don't really measure anything, I see ingredient lists as suggestions, and I hate anything that takes longer than 30 minutes to prepare AND cook! So I'm making it a mission to become the queen of 30 minute meals, and if that 30 minutes is actually 5 minutes prep with 25 minutes cooking in a rice cooker where I don't have to 'baby' it, then Yay! One Pot Cooking: Chik'n Pasta This dish was born last Friday. I'd been at Gold's Gym and …
Vegan Aquafaba Chocolate Cupcake
Confession: I've never really had a sweet tooth. It seemed like a waste to me that people would eat dessert at the expense of not eating all of their entree. In fact I'm the person that loads up on extra potatoes and veggies rather than have a dessert. True that's because most of the time the dessert isn't vegan but even when it is I have to be 'in the mood'. Like recently when I started experimenting with Aquafaba. What is Aquafaba? I know right... aquawhata? Aquafaba. Technically it's the …
Review: Beyond Meat Beast Burger
I know Summer doesn't officially end for another two weeks but here in the United States Labor day is pretty much the announcement that Summer is done and fall is coming. Summer and school supplies go on sale and Halloween and Thanksgiving items appear again. Rumor has it the pumpkin spice latte is already back at Starbucks! Labor day is also the last holiday before Thanksgiving and tends to be the final BBQ 'event' of the season, so today I'm sharing our recent experience and review of the …
Meatless Monday: Almond Flour 101
About two years ago I started getting digestion issues, heavy bloating when eating bread and similar products. Uncomfortable bloating with stomach pain and just a feeling of being general miserable. I spent about a year eliminating bread and wheat from my diet, and felt WAY better. Over the last year I've slowly reintroduced wheat and discovered that I can handle a little, but there is a limit. No gluten intolerance but definitely a wheat intolerance, it's something I have to limit to …
Meatless Monday: Dominex Angel Meatballs
So last week I reviewed the eggplant cutlets from Dominex, this week I figured I'd share the Angel Meatballs made with eggplant. Mostly I want to share my disappointment. When I went to Sprouts to get these products there were only TWO Dominex products there and both clearly stated on the front of the box that they were VEGETARIAN/VEGAN. The eggplant cutlets I reviewed last week are indeed vegan however the meatballs above are NOT, even though the box CLEARLY states on the front that they …
