I will not call this a Fall Crisp because here in Charlotte, there is not even a hint of lower temperatures. Sure, my back yard is littered with leaves already, but I am in shorts and a sports tank with the fans and AC on full blast. And if someone says "transitional outfit" one more time on social media, I think I'm going to go nuts. There is nothing transitional about 94℉ with a real feel of 98℉. Here in the Deane household, my fridge is still loaded with summer berries so I thought I'd do ... View the Post
Salad In A Jar: Hello Berry + Hearty Couscous + Merry Mediterra
I grew up eating a side salad with our meals almost every night and I liked it very simple - lettuce, carrots, cucumber and feta cheese and I would have it dry without dressing (gasp!). My aunt, who lives here in Waxhaw, came to visit us in South Africa one year and brought us one of those DIY ranch dressing packets and I was hooked, I finally had 'saucy' salads. I still liked ranch when I became a vegan so I was very grateful to find out that Daiya made a vegan homestyle ranch! I have since ... View the Post
Vegan Banana Oat Pancakes For The Whole Family
Anyone else a creature of habit? Before I became a vegan, I ate the same breakfast (Pronutro) for about 26 years. I think I even ate the same lunch (ham and cheese sandwich) for that same amount of time and our dinners lacked variety as well. Becoming a vegan has opened the door to so many wonderful dishes and a wide variety of foods and meals that we never had imagined before. Having said that, I still eat the same thing for breakfast (muesli) and Ollie eats his oat cereal with pieces of fruit ... View the Post
Vegan Tofu Penne
I'm on a summer pasta salad kick so I'm trying out all sorts of different combinations and am loving experimenting with different flavors. The Fusilli Pasta I posted a little while back has a fun tomato and olive flavor, while this Tofu Penne Pasta has a creamy cashew avocado flavor. I've been serving Ollie more finger foods again lately because we went to the Doctor and she said that he can eat everything that we are eating, with special care not to have too much salt (and other seasonings) ...

Vegan Fusilli Pasta Salad
I love making up recipes from pictures I see on IG or Pinterest but I am so bad at writing down exactly what I do as I go along. I've even had to make the same meal again so that I can write down every step I took. So, I'm sharing this rough recipe today and hopefully you trust yourself enough to just take a dive and throw things in the pan together. You really can't go wrong with cooking, because if you put too many olives in, you can just take them out. It's baking that you really need to ... View the Post
