Pure Pumpkin Pie
This simple, pure pumpkin pie can be made either with organic canned pumpkin puree, or you can make your own pumpkin puree as I did in this recipe. Homemade pumpkin puree is ridiculously easy to prepare (you can even bake a few pumpkins & freeze the leftover puree to use as-needed!). To steam your pumpkin,…

Scrumptious Spinach Sweet Potato Tofu Quiche
I’m positive I’m not the only one planning their Thanksliving meal. Yes, Thanksliving – my table spread is cruelty-free, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious. Friends tell me how difficult it can be not only being vegan, but gluten-free during the holidays and it shouldn’t be! That’s what motivates my food: I want everyone to be able…

Scrumptious Meatless Tofu Loaf
This year will be my first gluten-free Thanksliving! 10 months ago I had to relearn my eating habits and at first I was lost & felt like I’d never be able to enjoy food again. I wouldn’t let negativity bog me down! I refused to eat processed, let alone mostly tasteless gluten-free options (and then…

Lemon Tahini Zesty Tofu Quinoa Burgers with Stuffed Delicata Squash
Last night I was craving falafels, but I didn’t have any fava beans on hand (d’oh!). I had to satisfy my craving so I decided to whip up a tasty replacement!

Back to Basics Apple Pie
My parents have been camping out here in my place since it’s day #5 with no power for them, thanks to Frankenstorm Sandy! Thankfully I am up & running with power. Last night we made a fabulous dinner consisting of quinoa crusted tofu (I’m addicted!), roasted local farm-fresh chioggia beets & purple haze carrots, beet…

Roasted Chipotle Pumpkin Soup
Sandy tore through the NorthEast coast with a vengeance. I had my floaties ready and my umbrella just in case I needed to channel Marry Poppins and fly out of here! I cooked up a storm (literally) preparing for a week-long power outage. For my hiking adventures, I have a handy dandy Pocket Rocket Stove,…

Avocado and Spinach Scramble
Today we’re preparing for Sandy’s arrival. No, not a dear friend, a Frankenstorm just in time for Halloween. Last year we were devastated by Hurricane Irene, then Halloween brought a freakish snowstorm. Halloween ’12 is knocking down the door, and it’s not packing any treats – only tricks! I’m keeping busy in the kitchen, trying to…
