There’s been a surprising development in the V family kitchen. My daughter E has actually been asking for coleslaw, a food she used to have to be bribed to eat. This phenomenon began after I stopped buying bagged coleslaw and starting using fresh heads of cabbage. I could say that E likes [...]
It’s always nice when a recipe you like seems to “take off” with other bloggers. This has been true recently of my sweet potato and chickpea burgers, which Matt and Katie have made recently, as well as a bunch of other bloggers and readers who have emailed me or left comments on the original post.

For the first time this summer I indulged in a big bowl of watermelon - and the first thing that came to my mind: why didn’t I do this sooner?! How did I wait until the last month of summer to munch on this red, juicy, hydrating seasonal fruit treat?
…I’ll blame the idea of having to hull a giant heavy watermelon home to [...]
I have a confession to make: I love balls. Now that you have a clear image in your head.. get your mind out of the gutter! Lets move on! Balls are simply just a melange of goodness rolled up into one sweet, healthy and satisfying spherical concoction. I typically make huge batches of [...]
I’m not sure why, but I was suddenly desperate for some cool, creamy, 100% vegan Coconut Custard Pie. Custard pie craving! Doesn’t everyone have those? So I whipped up this island-inspired recipe – bursting with tropical flavors like lime, papaya and coconut.

Somewhere between a brownie, a fudgey square, and an ‘oh my god’ exclamation, lies this fantastic dessert. Yet made with just fruits, nuts, and pure cacao, this treat is nutritionally on par with a natural energy bar or trail mix — what a deal! Not that you actually needed an excuse to eat a brownie.
The following recipe comes from one of my new favorite sites (with one of the greatest names ever), Modern Hippie. Don’t let the long list of ingredients frighten you, these roll-ups are very easy to make! As always make extra pâté to go on crackers, zucchini pasta, or other wraps! Pâté always comes in [...]
I love this cool, creamy, zesty, beachy Key Lime Pie vegan dessert. The essential ingredient: sweet, tangy, bold key lime juice. A hint of coconut, a sandy graham crust and fresh lime zest on top.
Pie-Fait. I make a lot of these “Pie-fait” desserts. The base ingredients: silken tofu and vegan pudding mix. They are relatively [...]
If my daughter had her way, I’d be using our haul from the U-Pick farm to bake blueberry-infused treats like Blueberry-Banana Bread, Blueberry-Oat Bars, and Berries and Spice Muffins every single day. Unfortunately for her, blueberry season coincides with the time of year that I am least interested in turning on the oven, and [...]
