With just a couple months left to go in order to complete my New Years’ Resolution challenge to myself to make one new vegan or vegetarian dish per month in 2024, and my success with trying something way outside of my comfort zone last month, I decided that for this month I wanted to do something still unlike anything I […]
Every now and then you need a challenge. You need to try something new. That was what I needed this month. I was starting to feel like all the recipes I was doing for my New Years’ Resolution were all “quick/easy/simple.” Those recipes are great, don’t get me wrong. I want quick, easy, and simple for most of my meals. […]
Pasta. I love a good pasta. But can a good pasta be made without meat?! Of course it can. September 2024: Quick & Easy Veggie Linguine For one of my vegetarian dishes for this challenge, I knew I had to do a pasta. Sticking with my usual theme of doing a dish that is simple, flexible, and easy to make, […]
Yes, I’m not kidding. For this month, I may have tried to do the most lazy vegetarian meal possible (short of just eating a stalk of raw broccoli and an apple or something…). What’s one quick and easy way to get lots of flavor and lots of nutrition in your face all at once? The sandwich. I wanted to see […]
After my semi-successful attempts at hummus and toum, I knew I had to try one more dip that I LOVE: baba ganoush. July 2024: Baba Ganoush Not to too far from where I live, there’s a Greek place, and not to say anything bad about anything else on their menu, but every now and then, I just NEED to get […]
Despite my recent blog posts about vegan/vegetarian cooking, I am not a chef. I don’t really try to push the boundaries of culinary tastes, flavors, and textures. For the most part, I want to make food that is simple, tasty, and healthy. So in my quest to find more things to make that are vegetarian and vegan, I found this […]
For April, I continued my 2024 monthly tradition of cooking a vegetarian or vegan dish that I’ve never made before. As always, I tend to aim for simple, quick recipes and this one was no exception. I want to be able to make quick, easy, and tasty plant-based meals, and the Chinese (thanks to their long history of Buddhism) have […]
For March, I wanted to make a vegan dish that is super simple and easy to make, while still checking off all the nutritional boxes. I saw this dish on Instagram that was really simple! Tofu, whatever veggies you have, some noodles, and a simple vegan oyster sauce. March 2024: Vegan Oyster Sauce Noodles I love noodles, and I’ve always […]
Continuing my New Years’ Resolution to cook at least one new vegetarian or vegan dish every month for every month in 2024, this month I took to Instagram to find what I wanted to make for February, 2024. February 2024: Pink Pasta (Vegan) I am a pasta fanatic, and I’ve always been really curious about vegan “cream” sauce pastas, so […]
It’s currently April 4th, 2024. And like most people, I’m not usually one to maintain New Years’ Resolutions for more than a month or two. But this year I’ve succeeded in one. (So far.) Since I was worried I wouldn’t go through with it, I didn’t write about it, but now that we’re a few months in and I’m not […]
