Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Fried Eggplant (aka Eggplant Parm Without the Parm)
This past Sunday night, exhausted from a weekend of running around, my partner declared he would cook me dinner. Wait, what?? Of course you can cook me dinner! Growing up in an Italian family, he loves Eggplant Parmesan. Although you certainly don’t have to be Italian to crave this dish (I’m not and I do!). … Continue reading
Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Vegan Taco Bell-Inspired Fresco Bean Burrito
Just because I’m a vegan, doesn’t mean I only eat uber healthy food 24/7. Every now and again, I crave the ease of fast food. After I recently downloaded the app Vegan Eating Out (although beware, they consider honey as a vegan ingredient…still a handy place to start though), I discovered that Taco Bell carried … Continue reading
Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Moroccan Spiced Tomato, Chickpea and Zucchini Stew
I haven’t created a recipe in awhile. Aside from my usual veggie burgers, vegan mac and cheese and lemon rice, I haven’t ventured into experimentation in the kitchen. Perhaps it’s the oppressive heat or traveling or taking on more writing assignments. I’m currently reading The Happiness Project in which author Gretchen Rubin recounts the year … Continue reading

Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Pan-Grilled Portabella Mushroom, Baby Spinach and Arugula Salad
Last week, I vacationed on beautiful, balmy Sanibel Island in Florida. Lazy days consisted of book reading (Tina Fey’s Bossypants…hilarious, insightful, like chatting with a good friend…seriously so good) and flipping through fashion magazines. We went on a boat and watched playful dolphins (!!!). We lingered on the beach, watched birds, waded in the warm … Continue reading
Guest Post: Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Ratatouille

Ratatouille is not just a Pixar film, but a great vegetable based dish made from delicious summer vegetables, and a great choice for vegans.

Guest Post: Meat-Free Monday Recipe: Thyme Roasted Vegetable Mash
Written by Alicia. Originally published at The Humble Foodie. Cross-posted with permission. Cauliflower was never my favorite vegetable. As a child, I would only condescend to eat it when it was generously covered with Thousand Island dressing. When I started to learn about the Paleo lifestyle, I found that cauliflower was in many recipes–not exciting. … Continue reading
