Watkins Glen State Park: Vegan Getaway II

This is the second post in my series about our mini vacation getaway to the Finger Lakes region in NY. Please check out my first post about the awesome vegan B & B JuneBug Lodge HERE. This installment will focus on one of the most well known attractions of the area – Watkins Glen State…

Junebug Lodge: A Vegan Getaway

Last year during the late summer and early fall months I noticed so many of my friends posting on Facebook that they were going to the Finger Lakes. Honestly, other than the quick reference in an episode of The Office, I never heard of the Finger Lakes. However with so many people headed up there…

Impossible Meatloaf

I posted the process of making this meatloaf, using Impossible Foods grounds, on my Instagram story last night and received so many requests for an actual recipe I figured I better get to it! This is sort of a hybrid recipe – I know some people use onion soup mix for their meatloaf. My grandmother,…

Little Lil’s Pizzelles

Growing up, one of the first things I learned to help my grandmother make is an Italian flat cookie called a pizzelle. They are made from a thick batter using an electric pizzelle iron. We would make these for each ‘major’ holiday – Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We would also make them during the year…

Ground Flax Ravioli

So here we are a month into a Stay at Home quarantine to help curb the spread of COVID-19 – what a crazy time to be alive.  As frustrating as this self isolating can be, it has freed up time to work on or tweak recipes.  Last Sunday was Easter. Growing up we always had…

Little Lil’s Impossible Meatballs

Meatballs were probably one of the first foods that I cooked with my grandmother, Little Lil.  I made meatballs every week for years, and for the past seven years I have tried to recreate a vegan version of those meatballs.  Various version using lentils or mushrooms mixed with vital wheat gluten have come close.  However…

Mac & Miso Cheesy II

For my second Mac Down competition we decided to tweak the recipe in order to pack a little more flavor and achieve a smoother, creamier texture.  Violife took the vegan scene by storm, with their creamy, flavor filled cheese that melts really well.  Their cheddar is on point flavor wise, so we decided to test…

Vegan Burger @ Habit Burger

When I became vegan, the only thing I really sought to “replace” was a good burger. As a rule, if I see a vegan burger on a menu, I’ll give it a try. Supporting my quest,  Habit Burger in King of Prussia, PA was nice enough to invite me to try out their new vegan burger. …

Waffled Tofu?!

The other night I was scrolling through my IG Page and came across some shenanigans from my friends The Food Duo.  Seems like they were bored one night and decided to toss some tofu into a waffle iron! Low and behold not only did it look really good, they confirmed that it tasted great!  So…
