Baked purple yam

I feel a little silly to dedicate an entire post to this vegetable but I want to share something with you that I discovered recently. I was shopping at an Asian grocery store for one of my classes and noticed in the vegetable section next to the potatoes some purple yams. Baked purple yam I […]

Vegan Tortilla Soup

Vegan Tortilla Soup

Hello everyone! I just got back from a week in Cancun, Mexico to celebrate two of my dearest girlfriend’s birthday. I know, it is a tough life, but someone has to do it! As vegans, we were a little worried about what we would be eating in an all-inclusive hotel, since we no longer eat cheese, […]

Fresh salad spread

Fresh Salad Spread

I was trying to find a translation for this salad and couldn’t come up with one that conveyed the meaning of assiète de crudités. A plate of raw vegetables sounds somehow boring and uneventful while the French equivalent is a standard in French restaurants, showcasing the freshness of local produce for customers wanting a light dish with lots of flavor […]

Sprouted Salad

Easy Nutritious Sprouted Salad

With the plethora of fresh vegetables available this time of the year in our own gardens, why not indulge in a healthy salad, bursting with colors, textures, flavors and nutrition?

I remember helping her around huge cooking pots with long fibrous stems slow cooking in her kitchen. Carefully removing the foam […]

With an abundance of fresh basil, mint and cilantro in our garden, I had to incorporate them to take this all-American classic to another level. But why stop here? I […]

Vegan French Crepes

I woke up this morning, it was a gorgeous day. Not too hot, just enough air to keep it cool and enjoy a nice breakfast on the deck. I was given a great crepe pan as a gift the day before so what better treat than a lovely sweet French crepe for breakfast. French crepes […]

New potatoes and leeks

New Potatoes and Leeks Stir-fry

Nature is such a wonderful thing we often take for granted. Last fall, I discovered some wrinkled potatoes that I had completely forgotten about and as a result had sprouted in the back of my pantry. I proceeded by cutting them into small pieces, each with a sprout and planted them in my garden covering […]

Creamy Mushroom Fettucini

Wild Mushroom Fettucini with Wilted Spinach Salad

Every now and then, we have a craving for pasta with a rich cream sauce. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we have a great selection of wild mushrooms available at local farmer’s markets and sometimes regular grocery stores. We are quite blessed! So now we just need to prepare a thick dairy-free alfredo sauce that […]
