Rosemary-Garlic-Dijon Red Potatoes (Vegan)
I have to tell you, I’m not really a potato salad kind of girl. That doesn’t stop me from piling a big helping on my plate at every picnic and barbecue though. The thing is, I love potatoes and I really want to love potato salad. But it always seems bland and boring to me. I usually […]
Grilled Veggie Soft Tacos (Vegan)

Greek Farro Salad (Vegan)
“Farro is an ancient grain making a huge comeback. It looks and tastes like wheat berries and has a nutty flavor. You’ll also find plenty of nutrients such as B vitamins and protein (4 grams in 1/2 cup, cooked) as well as fiber. You’ll also find it loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients, lignans and betaine. I love to use […]

Meatless Meatballs (vegan)
“I have been experimenting with various vegetable proteins trying to come up with the perfect recipe that would work well for vegetarian “meatballs”. There are plenty out there but I really couldn’t find that flavor that worked well for “meatball” subs, spaghetti and “meatballs” and greek gyros. After more trial and error runs than I’d […]
Vegetarian Greek Gyros (Vegan Instructions Too)
“Our neighbor owns a restaurant where they serve some of the best Gyros this side of town. That of course means we have had our fair share of these warm and delicious wraps. I just love the flavors of the Gyro meat (typically lamb or shaved beef), yogurt sauce and fresh tomatoes all wrapped up […]
Mama Mia! “Meatball” Sub (Vegan)
“In my meat-eating days, boy did I love a good meatball sub from Subway. The soft bread, Italian style meatballs and marinara sauce were a quick fix when I was super hungry and needed something fast and delicious. This version is as every bit delicious and of course, better for you! This can also […]
Algerian Mixed Bean And Lentil Soup With Chermoula Sauce (Vegan)
