Crispy Tofu and Green Beans

One of my favorite ways to make tofu is to cut it into cubes, usually 1/2″ to 3/4″ on each side, and then fry them in very hot oil until the crisp. After that, they can be added into just about any dish, and there isn’t any fear of them flaking or falling apart. They also taste amazing and have a much better texture, too!

This dish was one of those ‘spur of the moment’ ideas that I came up…

Sweet Potato Double Shell Tacos

Yep. You read that right. Vegan tacos that aren’t filled with lentils, quinoa, or tofu. And, guess what? They are amazing! Seriously. Savory? Yep! Filling? You betcha! Healthy? Beyond a doubt. So let’s stop talking about these things and let you go shopping for the ingredients already!

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled

1 bag (6 shells) Potapas Gluten-Free Veggie Medley…

Garlic Chive Cashew Crema

Let’s be honest. I love potatoes. Absolutely love them. Fried, mashed, baked, au gratin (with vegan cheese, of course), and potato soup, too. They are just so versatile, delicious, and satisfying. Nothing is better than sitting down with a plate of fries – unless you have nothing to dip them in. Usually, that means the old stand-by: ketchup. But not any more.

The flavor of this crema reminds…

Vegan Macaroni Salad

Summer is coming – no really. It is. I swear. It might not feel like it this year, depending on where you live. But when it gets here, it’s going to be hot. And that means days at the beach, or the pool, packing a cooler full of picnic-style items. One of my wife’s favorites, is definitely mac salad. We both love it, actually. In fact, so much so that we’ve had nothing but a bowl of mac salad for…

Garlic Sesame Snow Peas

I absolutely LOVE snow peas. They are one of my favorite items in Chinese food, and I’ve always loved finding them on veggie dip trays at parties. But eating them as a main dish just always sounded weird. Then we planted some snow peas in our garden, and they produced prolifically. A long, cold, rainy winter will do that, I guess.

We were eating them as fast as we could, adding them into…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 8, The Sahasrara (Crown) Chakra

Today’s post bring us to our final chakra, the Sahasrara, otherwise known as the Crown Chakra. Though there is no true ‘destination’ in terms of the spiritual journey, if there was a point in which the individual would be considered to have ‘arrived’, the opening of this chakra would be that point. This is our mystical center, the point in which we commune with the cosmos, and the place where…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 7, The Ajna (Third Eye) Chakra

Well, we’ve finally made it. The chakra that EVERYONE talks about. And, though this is a key chakra to develop if you want to experience a spiritual awakening to the highest level, focusing on opening this chakra before the others are ready, is like trying to build the penthouse suite at the top of a skyscraper before the rest of the floors. Yes, the penthouse is the nicest part of the building,…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 6, The Vishuddha (Throat) Chakra

By far the most magical thing we can ever do as humans, is to speak. When we put words forth into the world, they have an impact over just about every other thing. Our words can heal, hurt, bring together, tear apart, create, or destroy; and we alone hold the power to determine which we want to happen, to whom, and when. We even carry the ability to hold back our words, to never speak at all, or…

Oven Roasted Potatoes with Kale and Parsley Pesto

For whatever reason, since my wife and I have gone vegan, we can’t eat enough potatoes. Seriously. We’ve mashed them, and fried them, and baked them, and made soup from them. So, today as I was looking through the pantry trying to decide what to make for lunch, what do you think stood out to me? Yep. Potatoes.

I’ve done them in so many different ways already, that it took me a moment to think…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 5, The Anahata (Heart Center) Chakra

Ah, the fourth stop; our heart center. By far my favorite chakra to work on. Why? Because all you need to open your heart chakra is love. Not the kind of love that you see in Hollywood movies, or on sitcoms, but the kind of love that never tires, never ceases, and never expects anything in return. This is the place where dreams are made, and this is the place where our spiritual and physical…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 4, The Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra

Welcome to the third stop on our Feeding Your Chakras journey. We’ve made it up to the Manipura Chakra, which is the base of all of our power. It’s our body’s stronghold, our fortress. The word, Manipura, translates as ‘city of shining jewels’. Just like the castles of myth and legend, this fortress in our solar plexus holds an inestimable fortune; our sense of self.

It is from this chakra…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 3, The Swadhisthana (Sacral) Chakra

In Part 2 of this series (click here), I wrote about the Muladhara, or the Root Chakra, what it is, how to support it, and the foods that create a healthy and productive chakra. In this post, we will allow our Kundalini energy to flow up our spine, just a bit, to the next chakra in the chain; the Swadhisthana, or Sacral Chakra. This chakra is the seat of our creativity, and is represented by the…

Feeding Your Chakras: Part 2, The Muladhara (Root) Chakra

Up first in this ongoing series on feeding your chakras, is the Muladhara, or Root Chakra. Tracing a down your spine from the base of your skull towards the floor, the Muladhara would be at the furthest point down, right at the very tip of the coccyx bone. This is also the resting place of dormant Kundalini, the infinite spiritual energy. Once the Root Chakra is open and the energy is flowing,…

Feeding Your Chakras: part 1

By far one of the best things you can do to help ensure your chakra system is balanced and healthy, is to find as many opportunities as you can to meditate. However, we all know that our lives can be challenging, hectic, and fast paced, and there may not always be enough time. Practicing mindfulness can help, and it is something that can be done at any time, and in any location you might be in at…

Himalayan Salt 'Sole'

Himalayan Salt ‘Sole’

Since discovering the pink salt caves in the Himalayan mountains, more and more uses have been discovered for it. Everything from using it like regular salt, to salt lamps for purification, to inhaling air that has passed over the salt, to using it in bath bombs, or for massage.

One way that is just starting to gain popularity in the health and wellness community, is a product called ‘sole’,…

Pineapple Fried Quinoa

There’s one main ingredient that is in just about every bowl of fried rice that you find at just about every Chinese food themed restaurant. Arsenic.

No, they don’t have a big jar of it in the kitchen, and they’re not purposefully adding in to your food. But it’s there. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s going to kill you. It’s just something to be aware of. You can read more about it here. https://…

VGF Black Bean Pasta Primavera

Everyone knows there are a ton of different pasta noodles to choose from. Spaghetti, linguine, angel hair, rotini, macaroni, etc. etc. etc. For me, there is only one problem with that. I need gluten-free options, and pasta is traditionally made from wheat. I’m also vegan, so finding a pasta that doesn’t use eggs.

When my wife and I first went vegan, there were a few gluten-free options, but…
