I spotted some big beautiful heads of cabbage while grocery shopping this week and decided I would try my hand at some cabbage rolls. Some of my childhood years were spent in Toledo Ohio, home of Tony Packos, made famous by Jamie Farr from his days on MASH. I had my first taste of cabbage … Continue reading Mushroom & Lentil Cabbage Rolls
Our kitchen has been full of hummus lately. We have been experimenting with different flavors of hummus, always starting with a can of rinsed, drained chickpeas. Save the liquid when you drain the chickpeas, if the mixture needs a little liquid you can use this (aquafaba) in small amounts until you get the desired consistancy. … Continue reading Orange Zest Hummus
This is our latest burger. We are always trying new recipes, tweaking, and then trying again. My freezer is sometimes full of things I've tried and then I can't wait to make it again and change one thing. So into the freezer all the tests go. Thankfully I have lots of people who enjoy eating … Continue reading Vegan Minced Mushroom Burger
Homemade Veggie Chili is one of my favorites. It is my go to soup probably once every two weeks, because most of the ingredients I have readily on hand. It also makes a bunch so we have left overs to last us a couple of days and it is perfect to send along for lunch. … Continue reading Homemade Veggie Chili
I haven't used my panini press in years. I guess I always thought it would need oil, or at least in the past I always sprayed it with oil.

I started by covering the inside with cute pumpkin cloth napkins to protect the wood detail. Moving on, I filled two bowls … Continue reading Veggie Party Tray Season
My mother in law used to make the most fabulous potato salad, the kind that is so rich and creamy it just melts in your mouth. Â But alas, it was far from plant-based with its mayo and eggs. Â So this is the substitute, not as creamy but certainly as tasty. Â We test made this over … Continue reading Plant Based Potato Salad
This past 4th of July my family traveled as we have for many years to my sister's house on the east side of Cleveland. Her home is nestled in Ohio wine country and we celebrate yearly at Chalet Debonne Vineyards. It's a joy to visit because she prepares scrumptious plant-based dishes too. This year … Continue reading Steff’s Mac and Cheese
Tomatoes, those wonderful antioxidant rich....hum what are they a fruit...a vegetable? Botanically they are classified as berries, but culinarily they are classified as vegetables, so that doesn't really clear it up.  In 1887 the US imposed a tariff on vegetables,  but not fruits,  causing the tomatoes status to become legally important.  The Supreme Court stepped up … Continue reading Tomato Tidbits
