Mac & Cheese – The Complete Vegan Kitchen Cookbook

One of the foods I miss most since going vegan is cheese.  I think most vegans try to get that cheese flavor with non-dairy products.  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

The recipe is pretty straightforward.  You [...]

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 [...]

Amy’s Vegan Margherita Pizza

Delicious! is the best way to describe this pizza.  It is the best vegan pizza I have ever had.  The crust is light and fluffy with awesome flavor and the toppings are to die for. In fact, the only problem that I have with this pizza is the sodium.  It is high.  However, that will [...]

It’s So Easy to be Vegetarian

I’m working on making more vegetarian designs. Most people think that it’s so hard to be vegetarian and that you don’t have anything to eat, but just the opposite is true. My world has opened up to so many new foods since I adopted the vegan diet. Easy to be Vegetarian
