Growing up in New Jersey, we ate a LOT of Italian food. My Jewish mother happened to be an excellent cook, and fantastic at cooking Italian food! I guess whether you were Jewish or Italian maybe it was all just the same (great food with a side of guilt?)? I don't know but I LOVED it. In addition to her cacciatore, meat sauce and meatballs, she also made a great baked ziti. When I got older and … [Read more...]

We were the ONLY plant based family there yet EVERYONE was happy with the food (and … [Read more...]

“All it takes for evil to triumph…” Here’s what YOU can do right now!

I'm not getting anything done, couldn't sleep last night and have had nightmares. I'm Jewish but honestly, I think given my personality and compassionate and sensitive Pisces side (or you know... being human), I think I'd feel this way no matter my … [Read more...]
Mock Tuna Salad (Vegan & Gluten Free)
This is the one recipe I've made the MOST of this summer! I just can't get enough! I recently visited my parents in NJ and my mother said it was better than "actual" tuna salad! (I think that's saying something from someone who eats fish and is not vegan!) She absolutely loved it! I had mock tuna salad for the first time at an LA cafe this past spring and I loved it so much that I had to make … [Read more...]

Strawberry Chia Jam (vegan & Gluten Free)
Jam is delicious on muffins, crackers, almond butter & jelly sandwiches (or sunbutter/pumpkin seed butter if you can't do nuts) and more, but did you know most store-bought jam has sugar or corn syrup added? But not to worry! It's also amazingly simple to make your own! Check out my cooking video to see just how easy it is! Hope you enjoy! PS - this goes great on my almond pulp … [Read more...]
