I kid, I kid! The thought of leaving you lovelies makes my stomach queasy. But in all seriousness, I do get asked that question quite often. The truth is that I grew up eating meat and continued to do so until I was a sophomore in college. I always enjoyed meat and I especially loved seafood. My parents cooked us great meals growing up, but I wasn’t raised on lentils and green smoothies by any means....

The vegetarian diet has never been a mainstream thing in China, and it just started to gain popularity over the past few years.

The sheer joy of a fluffy, warm pancake gracing your face….I mean is there ANYTHING ELSE like it? I think not. I’m freaking out. I love my Whole Wheat Pancakes, Lemon Blueberry Pancakes, and Fluffy Vegan Pancakes, but I have to admit—melted butter really kicks up the flavor a notch. (You could totally use dairy-free buttery spread as well!) What I love most about these is that they’re insanely flavorful thanks to the 100% OJ and more buttery/savory than sweet....

Because they’re next level addicting. The epically rad combination of the Asian-inspired burgs (soy sauce + sesame oil + ginger + sriracha) plus the creamy-dreamy-sweet-salty-spicy cashew cream makes me wish I had nine tongues. I literally ate a whole burger (on a Trader Joe’s whole wheat bun thankyouverymuch) and then proceeded to drench another bun half in the cashew cream. And then I put some cashew cream in a little bowl and stirred in some water and VOILA!...

Updated March 26, 2019 Remember when I made Peanut Butter Apple Oatmeal Cookies? Well, I’ve made them a dozen times since I first shared the recipe on the blog. They are one of my very favorite cookies. The problem is they don’t last long because I am a cookie monster.

It is a popular vegetarian dish made with deep-fried koftas (dumplings) that are made from mashed potatoes and paneer (Indian cottage cheese), served in a rich and creamy sauce. The dish is widely popular and very common in indian restaurants. However, with the paneer and heavy cream, the dish is a far cry from being a vegan dish. I agree to be sent email. So, I set out to find a way to enjoy this dish in a vegan way without compromising my dietary choices....
