Lately I’ve been all about Caribbean flavors. A few weeks back Laura and I went to the Virgin Islands for a few days and now I’m totally hooked on the cuisine. We spent much of our time on Saint Thomas, which I was surprised to find has a wide range of vegan food . ….

Chickpea Niçoise Salad Sandwich
One of my favorite recipes on this site is for Chickpea Tuna Salad, despite having had the real thing maybe once or twice in my life. That smell was enough to turn me off forever, even at a young age. But the vegan version, of which there are a million variations online, is something else…
Portobello Philly Cheesesteak
2018 was a terrific year. It saw more people all over the world adopting a vegan diet than ever before, and if predictions are correct that will continue into the new year. Places like Whole Foods and Uber Eats are anticipating a rise in not only veganism on the whole, but in specific areas like…
Buffalo Chickpea Lettuce Cups
This site doesn’t have a ton of Buffalo-flavored items on it. Just the Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and that’s it. I’m not sure why because it’s one of my favorite flavors. Without going into a Bubba Blue shrimp-style list of dishes, suffice it to say I love pretty much anything “Buffalo.” And coincidentally, I tried Buffalo…
Thai Curry Burger
It’s been a very exciting week for me. In addition to being well-rested and slightly tan after a visit to Florida, I also received the latest issue of VegNews in the mail. If you’re a vegan you surely know all about this great magazine. If not, I hope you’ll check it out. There is always…
Caprese Salad Grilled Cheese
If you’re like me you’re a sucker for a good grilled cheese sandwich (vegan, of course). And you probably are like me, because I don’t think I’ve ever met a single person who was like, “nah, I don’t like those.” That’s because there’s absolutely nothing to dislike about it. You have awesome, gooey cheese with…
Chickpea “Tuna” Salad Sandwich
Tuna fish has never been something I enjoy either eating or being around. As you probably know, it smells disgusting and also, it’s fish. So before I was vegan I never ate it, and now I just try to stay out of range of the smell if someone nearby is having it. For a long…
Double-Chocolate Chunk Coffee Ice Cream Sandwiches
I didn’t become a big coffee drinker until I moved to Seattle in 1999. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true. They have some really amazing coffee in the Northwest, and I tried a lot of it. Since then, I’ve had about one cup per day. The caffeine is getting to me though, so…
Bodega Breakfast Sandwich with Avocado
Living in New York City means stopping by a bodega once in a while to grab something quick like a drink or a roll of toilet paper. (Or, if you’re lucky, to pet the bodega owner’s cat.) It’s pretty great to have places like that nearby for when you don’t feel like trekking all the…
Tempeh Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato with Avocado Mayo (TTLA)
Everybody loves bacon, but not everybody loves it enough that they’re willing to eat it despite its coming from a living thing. Luckily for us vegans there are a ton of meat-free options in the grocery store: There’s LightLife’s Smart Bacon, Sweet Earth’s Benevolent Bacon and others. And as much as I enjoy eating both…
