You’ve seen the top 25 breakfasts, snacks and dinners, so it’s lunch time. Here’s a handy-dandy list of vegan lunches to satisfy all cravings. I have eaten all of these meals, many between the hours of noon and 1 PM. However, my go-to meal that I eat over, and over,…
It’s a Vegan Obsession
I’ve been fairly obsessed with cooking these days. OK, I’ve always been obsessed, but this is becoming slightly ridiculous. I’ve had my Thanksgiving menu planned for weeks now, and it has grown by at least three dishes from last year. My obsession started with watching waaayyy too much Food Network…
Top 25 Vegan Dinners
Everyone has their go-to meals and it’s no different for this vegan. I love menu planning and grocery shopping. It’s all about finding new recipes and ingredients to play with in the kitchen. However, every night can’t be an experiment. I also have my trusty dinners that perform week in…
My Favorite Healthy Salad Dressing
Bottled salad dressings are l.o.a.d.e.d. with salty goodness that makes veggies taste less veggie-like. If you’re doing the low-sodium thing, like me, this is a definite no-no. These dressings have to go far, far away from your fridge. As a replacement for a while I was using olive oil and…

Home Cooked Vegan Dinner Menu
It’s been awhile since I posted a vegan menu, so I thought I’d let you know what dinner at my house will be this week. I had a free Saturday afternoon, so I grabbed some cookbooks and used my meal planning process to brainstorm five dinners. I also read the…
Vegan Broccoli Pesto
Two weeks ago I was craving Healthy Happy Life’s vegan pesto, but I didn’t have basil or pine nuts, or the will to drive to the store for that matter. I did have broccoli on hand and figured it’s green. Thus, the broccoli pesto was invented. To my surprise, it…
Top 25 Healthy Vegan Snacks
Each afternoon, around 3pm, I just need a little something. Either out of restlessness or true hunger, the kitchen always calls to me in the afternoon. When I make my grocery list, I think about what I have on hand to snack on. Because I keep my diet low-sodium, this…
