I discovered a new blog recently, Rabbit and Wolves, and it is full of amazing vegan recipes. Her Instagram is curated with beautiful photos of the most amazing meals, and the Vegan Sticky Lemon Tofu is one that really caught my attention. I love anything lemon so this one seemed like a no brainer. I … More Vegan Sticky Lemon Tofu
I should have more pictures of this little bite of happiness. I should have step by step directions. I should have documented the process… but, in all honesty, you are lucky to get this one photo! These Whipped Feta Crostini from The Barefoot Contessa are one of my favorite things and I can’t stop eating … More Whipped Feta Crostini
I love tofu! I might be in the minority here, but I love the texture and the fact that it takes on the flavor of anything that you put on it. Adopting a (mostly) vegetarian lifestyle has been easy because I freaking love this stuff. That being said, I totally understand that most people hate … More Crispy Tofu with Lemon Dill Cream Sauce
Happy Friday! This idyllic scene is how Oscar celebrates the impending weekend…or just a regular Tuesday! Ahhh- to have the life of a pampered pooch! Since social distancing, I’ve severely limited my outings, with my most exciting adventure of the week being Trader Joe’s. I love that place- and I love how seriously ours is … More TGIF- fun finds
Happy Friday! These two goof balls have been full of snuggles and laziness- so much so that it’s hard to get off the couch.

Growing up, I remember my mom making us stop near this area on our way to and from my aunt’s house to get, in her opinion, the best strawberries in the state. I … More Strawberry Freezer Jam
It’s grilling season! One thing that I love about summer are the warm evenings, cold beer, and grilling. When we went vegetarian a few years ago- I was afraid that grilling would be a thing of the past. I was so wrong… Trader Joe’s had some beautiful artichokes for sale- so I had to buy … More Grilled Artichokes
In my quest to cook through all by cookbooks, I came across a fun, easy, simple ingredient recipe that I wanted to try. Oatmeal Jammy Bars are a great on-the-go breakfast or morning snack that even the pickiest of eaters will like. Basically, this is a layer bar that has a base similar to a … More Oatmeal Jammy Bars
Ahhh- butter lettuce! Amongst all the different kinds of leafy greens there are, this one has to be my favorite. Romaine is the workhorse of lettuce- carrying the hearty toppings and always there when you need it. Spinach is a nice change when you want something darker and, in my opinion, fancier. But butter lettuce…it’s … More Lettuce Wraps
Giada is amazing, and if you have never read one of her cookbooks or watched one of her shows, then you are really missing out on the gem of Italian cooking. I bought her Everyday Italian cookbook maybe 15 years ago when I was first getting into cooking. I have referenced recipes in it here … More Crostini with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Chickpeas
