If you’ve been looking for a super-healthy, easy-to-make cream cheese substitute, look no further! When we took a trip to New York City a few years ago, we were thrilled to see all the delis and bagel shops had house-made tofu cream cheese. It’s a simple tofu puree that doesn’t exactly taste like cream cheese,…
We’ve lived all over the country, but we’ve spent the most time in the south; so even though we’re a couple of nerdy white people, I like to think we know a thing or two about soul food. As you probably already know, meats, like chicken and pork, are a big part of traditional soul…
Usually, when we do a roundup based on a regional or ethnic cuisine, we talk about how none of the traditional dishes are vegan friendly, but with a little tweaking, they can be. Well, this is finally one roundup that’s going to be an exception to the norm. Many authentic Ethiopian recipes are vegan-friendly to…
For a long time I’ve been wanting to make a cauliflower-based dip; especially after Taryn’s broccoli and cauliflower soup came out so well. I’ve know for a while that cauliflower puree is basically like a thick cream, so I’ve always figured that if I added some spices and extra flavors to it, I could really turn…
Brazilians like their food sweet, spicy, and bursting with flavor; which is right up our alley! So, of course we had to do a Brazilian recipe roundup. Another thing we really like about Brazilian dishes is that they make liberal use of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains; so they’re perfect for veganizing. For example, if…
If you’re a fan of Asian cuisines, like Thai or Vietnamese food, then you should definitely try Korean food. Most traditional Korean dishes are not vegan friendly, but as always, that didn’t stop us from finding some great ones that are. Korean food often incorporates lots of meat and seafood, but it’s really the spices,…

This particular recipe was pretty easy and incorporated popular Indian spices, which are known for their healing and restorative properties.For this recipe I used Garam Masala which is a…
This is going to sound crazy, but you can actually cut the calories in rice in half by adding coconut oil to it. How? It’s simple: Science. That’s how. We’re often told that if we want to reduce the number of calories in our meals, we should cook without oil; however, it turns out rice…
Detoxes Have Been Debunked Many Times Yet the Trend Continues In the past few months alone, I have seen a slew of “detox” recipes and diet plans coming from prominent vegan websites and food bloggers. It’s upsetting to me because the whole detox fad is pseudo-scientific junk, and members of the vegan community, especially well-known…
I just came across an interesting video that changed my views on coconut oil being the “healthiest” oil out there. I’ve read a lot of information about coconut oil on health and fitness website that make a strong argument for why coconut oil is superior to all other oils – not just better, but actually…
We’ve been using nutritional yeast for many years. It’s one of our favorite foods, period. We incorporate it into several of our recipes, but we also sprinkle on whatever we might be eating, like popcorn, pasta, or pizza. I cannot emphasize enough how much we indulge ourselves on this tasty member of the fungi kingdom, but…

Have you ever heard that you can go blind if you become a vegan? Back in 2000, three doctors submitted a provocative letter to the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine – NEJM – entitled, Blindness in a Strict Vegan. The NEJM published the article and then six months later published two other…
