A Simple Sauce from Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes
I love using this simple sauce from heirloom cherry tomatoes for a variety of dishes. Sometimes I use it chunky, other times I process it down smoothly. One time, I made a vegetable frittata and spread some of this rainbow tomato sauce on top for a hearty topping. The textures and flavors of this velvety […]
Cheesy Quinoa Bean Enchiladas
Cheesy Quinoa Bean Enchiladas are vegan, full of whole grains and simply delicious. In fact, it is challenging for me to write about this recipe because it makes me want to stop writing and make them. I am crazy for these enchiladas. Today, it is chilly out (69 degrees in Florida is chilly!). This weather […]
Easy Vegan Condensed Milk
Easy Vegan Condensed Milk is delicious and sweetened. It is also a game changer for me. I have not had sweetened condensed milk in more than thirty years. I realize this omission ages me, but it is a fact. Any dessert made with sweetened condensed milk has been off my list. I am not saying […]
Eggplant Bruschetta
Eggplant Bruschetta is light, fresh and flavorful. This recipe is the perfect dish for a gathering. I recently made Eggplant Bruschetta as part of Olive Sunshine’s Easy Menu for Living Joyfully on the Mediterranean Diet. This was on the menu for a recent dinner party held in our home. We had 40 people. I learned […]
5-Minute Vegan Basil-Lemon Pesto
If you have a food processor, than this healthy 5-Minute Vegan Basil-Lemon Pesto is the easiest most versatile sauce you will ever make. I am especially fortunate because my Sweetheart always makes sure to have plenty of basil growing in our herb garden. I know there are plenty of jarred options for pesto at the […]
Ooey-Gooey Vegan Sheet-Pan Nachos
I have a weakness for nachos, especially when those nachos are Ooey-Gooey Vegan Sheet-Pan Nachos. In my early 30s, nachos were the meal of choice that I shared with my bestie, Katherine. Eating a pile high of chicken nachos from the Island Tiki Bar in Marathon, Florida was a common occurrence on a Saturday night. […]
Mediterranean Diet Chocolate Cake
Yes, you can say chocolate cake and Mediterranean Diet in the same title. Even better, this Mediterranean Diet Chocolate Cake is made with sourdough starter and is vegan. Delicious, chocolaty, moist and with just the right amount of sweetness. It checks off all my boxes for being useful (using my Herman Sourdough Starter) and entertainment […]
Mediterraneanized Deluxe Vegan Burrito
I mastered making the Mediterraneanized Deluxe Vegan Burrito. My inspiration for this delicious Mediterraneanized Mexicali feast was born when I tried the Utlimate Veggie Burrito. I had the ultimate burrito at Maiz Mexican Cantina a restaurant in Depot Town, an area in my hometown Ypsilanti, Michigan. The Ultimate Veggie Burrito is delicious and is too […]
Quick and Easy Salsa Roja
If you enjoy Mexican or Mexicali food than you need a quick and easy salsa roja recipe. Salsa Roja is a fancy way to say red sauce or enchillada sauce. It is something that you can easily pick up already prepared at your local grocers. The problem with store bought is you lose control of […]
Fresh Cashew Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh mozzarella balls or warm, gooey melted mozzarella? Fresh cashew mozzarella cheese is a versatile recipe. While it is ideal for vegans or dairy-free eaters, even regular cheese eaters should give this a try for a healthy twist on your favorite dishes. I love fresh cashew mozzarella. Unlike many vegan brands you can buy, fresh […]
