New Year’s Day is long gone and we are fast approaching the half way point of January, but that hasn’t stopped me from savoring several batches of black-eyed peas. Typically reserved and hyped up for New Year’s Day, I began wondering how many of you enjoy them throughout the year. These delicious beans are well […]

TIME TO TALK TURKEY
If you’re having turkey as the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving meal, I assume you’ve already purchased one. I say assume because as a former turkey purchaser and roaster I know that it takes a couple of days in the fridge to thaw. Perhaps though, you’ve taken advantage of a grocery store special that offers a […]

November 7th, really? I’m so behind this month. Better late than never they say so today I’m giving you a list of what typically can be found fresh in my neck of the woods during November. Better yet, I’ve got a recipe for you that combines two of the seasonal harvest at the peak of […]

A couple of weeks back I taught a class on how to take your vegan picnic to the next level. I showed how even the simplest cook out there can turn it up a notch with a few easy peasy recipes. What? What? You thought all us vegans were having boring picnics with just hummus, […]
Continue ReadingMY DISH ON SALAD
Salad to me can be two things, very lackluster or over the top fabulous. Regardless the choice, salad can ALWAYS be easy, healthy, and creative. In fact…I’m not sure I’ve ever made the same salad twice! So many possibilities, so little time. Sigh. Today though, we are going all out FABULOUS! I don’t know about […]
