Insanely Tasty Quarantine Panang Curry
Thai is my favorite food and beyond easy to make Vegan. For my year of being Vegan, I have been trying different recipes while also learning to actually follow the recipes. I finally got it right while still not following 100%. For this delish meal, I used Cookie and Kate’s recipe and rather than write out the recipe, I’ll invite you to visit their site for in-depth instructions. Cookie and Kate

Easy Chickpea Curry
Chickpeas. We’re obsessed with them. Since turning vegan, we’ve devoured tons of these magical beans (or ‘legumes’, if we’re being technical). They tick a lot of boxes. They’re rich in protein, improve digestion and they’re incredibly versatile. You’ll see us throwing them into salads, blending them into dips, or – more often than not – simmering them in fragrant curries just like this one. We’re also pretty stoked to say that we’ve teamed up with our friends at Royal Doulton to create this recipe in time for Veganuary. Starting as a small pottery company in 1815 on the banks of the River Thames, London, Royal Doulton still to this day embrace the urban…

Butternut Squash Wellington
The Wellington is absolutely classic British dish. Traditionally made with beef, our vegan version uses bold colours, wonderful textures and – of course – delicious flavours. Butternut squash is the hero here and we create a lovely mushroom, walnut and thyme stuffing. We also use shop-bought pastry to makes things super easy. And with Christmas right around the corner, there’s no better time to treat yourself and your loved ones to this decadent centrepiece! We love to serve our wellington with homemade gravy, roasties and glazed veggies. Oh, and btw, do you follow us on YouTube? Head over there and subscribe to find exclusive videos and recipes! Hope you enjoy, Roxy & Ben Butternut…

Penne Pasta with Vegan Sausage and Peppers
One of my favorite Italian dishes has long been the Rigatoni Abruzzi at our local Bertucci’s . The dish is somewhat spicy with Vegetarian Italian sausage and green peppers. I’ve been trying to duplicate the flavor and texture as a Vegan dish and I’ve finally got it! Mangia!

Labor Day Favorite – Vegan Sandwich
My old self had this dread of turning vegan that was based on my own ignorance. I was experienced with the salads, nuts, pasta with plain sauce and veggie burgers I snuck into the trash while eating with vegans I know. I hadn’t done my research. But, I was determined to turn vegan and learn how I, a raw tomato hating, spicy meaty sauce loving old guy could survive on a plant based diet. I had to find more than PB&J in all it’s wonderful variants. Yes, I can live on vegan Asian curries and Asian salads but there had to be more. Enter the Sausage, Peppers and Onion sandwich. I’m the guy…

Vegan Fine Foods Cafe and Market
Defiantly Dairy-Free! The sign says everything you need to know about the intense Vegan attitude of the people working here. Spoiler alert: I love this place! I found Vegan Fine Foods™ with a Google Maps search. I’m in Broward County visiting my mom for her 99th birthday. I’ve been seriously Vegan hesitant in this home of fruits and veggies. It seems odd but finding Vegan dishes is hard here and I’m done with salads, bagels, fries and hoping the local Thai joint doesn’t use fish oil in their excellent veggie panang curry. Next, I plan to sample some Jamaican Vegan dishes but that will be another story. I walked in to find a…

Grampy’s Journey
That photo of a family playing below a Catskills waterfall, encompasses my main reasons for becoming a vegan. That is Vegannista(Laura) her hubby, kids and sweet pups. Actually I need to restate that. They’ve never been pushy but I’ve felt the need to be one with my grand kids, one of whom once asked me “do you eat dead animals?”. Yep mommy is really a VeganNista. I also know I care deeply for all animals. I cringe killing ants. I’ve spent my life as a true meat eater and have the ass to show for it. But I fly fish, yet never kill the fish I catch. Now I may even stop fishing…

Vegan Friendly Puppy
We love our dogs but the little one sure knows how to ruin a pair of vegan sandals, or garden hat. She needs bones, chew toys, but I refuse to buy rawhide or actual bones. Turns out she loves the Nylabone that grampa got her.
