Just a few months ago, I moved to a new apartment in a totally different neighborhood than where I had been living before. To be honest, the hardest adjustment wasn’t learning where the closest subway station was, which gym was nearby or what time to take my dog on a walk to avoid the winding lines at the elevator. Instead, the biggest challenge for me was learning to navigate the new grocery store across the street….

Vegan Tempeh Taco Salad
Like many of you, every year around this time, I find myself fully focused on fulfilling my New Years resolutions. And, like every year, I make several health-related goals. This year, one of my goals is to eat more veggies! Even though I think I eat a pretty good amount, you can never have enough, right?…
Loaded Vegan Veggie Burger
Veggie burgers are awesome. Not only are they easy to make and sound pretty much 24/7, but they are also a great way to sneak a few extra servings of veggies into your day.
I confess that I usually have a pack of Morningstar spicy black bean burgers sitting in my freezer for when nothing else sounds good or I’m in a rush and need to eat something fast….
Vegan Zucchini Meatballs
Let’s be honest…we all have a dish that we tend to fall back on when we get busy or stressed out. This is your go-to meal when you’re not in the mood to cook, when you’re tired after a long day of work or when there’s nothing in the fridge that sounds good.
Mine has changed a few times throughout the past few years. At one point it was rice and beans, at another point oatmeal. Now pasta is my “default” meal when I’m fresh out of ideas and looking to fill my plate fast….
Pesto Zoodles
My world was changed earlier this week with the arrival of a little cardboard Amazon box outside my door. Inside was a spiralizer, aka the gadget that I’m pretty sure will change how I eat pasta for ever.
I had been meaning to try spiralizing for months. I’m always on the hunt for ways to sneak more veggies into my day and the spiralizer seemed like the perfect solution.
More pasta, more veggies…it’s a win-win, right?

Three Bean Vegan Chili
So just when I thought things would finally start to calm down and I would be able to breathe again, things got even more crazy.
I have a jam-packed schedule for the next four weeks, with a vacation, a surgery, a visit from my parents, and plenty of work-related stressors all looming over me….
Tempeh Broccoli Breakfast Skillet
Hello everyone and happy April! This is one of my favorite months because the sun finally starts poking its head out every once in a while, it’s finally nice enough to do things outside again, and some of my favorite fruits and veggies start to come back in season….
Vegan Sweet Potato Nachos
It’s been a rough week here, mostly because I came down with a nasty respiratory infection over the weekend that kept me home sick from work and left me with a painful ear infection 🙁 Not fun.
On the bright side, I did get to binge watch Netflix, take lots of naps, and eat my weight in comfort food. So while I can’t really complain, I do have to admit that I’m excited that this week is already halfway over….
Vegan Rosemary Mini Frittatas
Breakfast has pretty much always been my favorite meal of the day.
Some might consider it a problem that I go to sleep already thinking about breakfast the next day, but I like to think that I just have a healthy enthusiasm for eating ;)…
One Pot Vegan Potato Skillet
Lately life has been especially busy around here.
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to start going to the gym before work instead of after. While it sounds easy enough in theory, it means waking up at 4 am every morning to squeeze in a quick workout before leaving for work at 6:30….
