Years ago, I ate the most delicious vegetarian walnut meatballs with cheese in a recipe. Cheese and I don’t really get along and I have yearned to replicate those meatballs for sometime. Over the holidays, I decided to tinker with two different walnut recipe to make them dairy and soy free. Well, I think I [...]

What do you do with the skins of your vegetables? You know. After you make that big salad or vegetable soup? Did you realize that they could have a second life before they are banished to the composter? For years, I peeled carrots, chopped off the bottom of celery, and tore off garlic and onion [...]
Since going vegetarian over a year ago, I had to revamp my eating habits. As you all know, I decided to go “veg” due to my distaste of factory animal farming and killing animals. But I can’t say I don’t miss the taste of certain food. There is one dish that I haven’t been able to duplicate. [...]
I have a confession to make. The part I dislike the most about cooking is cleaning up. Am I right, girlfriend? And no one can make a bigger mess than me. But when stainless steel cookware like 360 Cookware comes along and nothing sticks to it, cooking has become fun again. And get this. No [...]
Want to lose weight and therefore ditch the vegetable cooking oil? Or maybe you want to throw out the Teflon pans since they contain dangerous polytetrafluoroetheylene (PTFE.) 360 Cookware, a stainless steel cookware, allow you to cook without oil and is Teflon free. I couldn’t believe it until I tried one myself! How Can You [...]

For Meatless Monday, I wanted to share one of my favorite recipe, Vegan Cookbook’s vegan, soy-free meatballs. As I told you in my Tempeh Brown Rice post, it has been challenging cooking for children who eat like cavemen and parents who now eat a vegetarian diet. So, I have tried to find recipes that I [...]
Both my husband and I turned vegetarians last August. The last four months have been a learning curve for me. Becoming a vegetarian was not hard for me since I always ate in that direction. But my husband complains that he is never full. Adding Tofu is not the answer. I don’t like it [...]
Have you been contemplating becoming a vegetarian to reduce your footprint on the Earth? Perhaps, your cholesterol is out of control or you just don’t feel as good as you would like to feel? Last August, I decided to take the plunge into becoming a vegetarian for the above reasons. But it hasn’t been easy. Don’t get [...]
As winter approaches, so does my desire for comfort food: A hearty soup, warm bread, and buckwheat and honey pancakes. You haven’t lived unless you have eaten buckwheat pancakes. I am not talking about 1/2 buckwheat and 1/2 awful white flour. 100% buckwheat, baby. 100% awesomeness. Breakfast Food for Dinner. Sticks to Your Ribs. How many of you eat [...]
