There are certainly a lot of vegan recipes out there on the internet and in cookbooks that try to replace that cheese flavor. So, I followed this recipe for vegan [...]

“Egg” Salad Sandwich – The Best Veggie Burgers on the Planet
This tofu salad or “egg” salad sandwich, as it is called in the cookbook, is delicious. I have made this recipe several times, and I LOVE it! The recipe is fast and easy. You do need to let the tofu cool before finishing it off and serving, but it is well worth the wait. Does [...]
Mexican Chocolate Cake – Candle 79 Cookbook
I love cake, so what could be better than a chocolate cake with chocolate sauce on top? The recipe was very easy for the cake. I did not follow the directions exactly for the chocolate sauce, because I don’t have a blender at the moment. The cake is good. You have to heat up the [...]
Mediterranean-Style Potato Salad with Yogurt Dressing from Vegan Cooking for One
Let me start by saying that I have never eaten Mediterranean-style potato salad, so I’m not sure what it is supposed to taste like. The yogurt dressing instead of the usual mayonnaise dressing seemed very interesting to me. The recipe was very easy. Also, since I really like potato salad and all of these recipes [...]
Chickpea Burgers from Vegan Cooking for One
I like trying new vegan burger recipes, so the chickpea burger in the Vegan Cooking for One cookbook sounded very tasty. I bought this cookbook quite awhile back (maybe 2 years ago), but I bought so many cookbooks, that I haven’t tried many or any of the recipes before. The recipe is pretty straightforward. You [...]
Chili Olé and Cornbread from The New Soul Vegetarian Cookbook

You can purchase this cookbook from Soul Veg Restaurant through Amazon for $19.95. So I chose to try the Chile Olé and [...]
Tofu and Seitan Sausage Scramble – Candle 79 Cookbook
I have many vegan cookbooks, and I have tried many of the recipes. Some have turned out great and others have been complete failures. You should know that I am not a chef or even a great cook, so your results with these recipes may be much different than my own. I am going [...]

Tomato and Avocado Sandwich
Granted, this is not so much a recipe as it is a convenient lunch for a busy vegan, but this is one of my favorite sandwiches. For a little extra flavor add some bacon-flavored tempeh strips such as Fakin’ Bacon by Lightlife or, my personal favorite, Smoky Maple Bacon Marinated Tempeh by Tofurky. INGREDIENTS 1 [...]
