Eggplant Chips with Honey
I am a fan of chips…potato, tortilla, zucchini but Eggplant Chips with Honey and balsamic was a new one for me.One summer evening, I was fortunate enough to try them for tapas in Madrid. I had no idea what to expect. Imagine my surprise when they came out warm and razor thin, curled up from […]
Dairy-Free Mango Gelato
Dairy-free Mango Gelato is a perfect desert to enjoy while eating on the Mediterranean Diet lifestyle. Olive Sunshine’s Mango Gelato is a low-sugar recipe, relying only on the sweetness from the fruit and real maple syrup. Even though this mango dessert is a dairy-free and low-sugar, it is still rich, creamy, smooth, and delicious I […]
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 […]

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 […]
