You may not have all the ingredients on-hand, but once you do, you can delight in the simple steps to make this delicious vegan sandwich over and over again. Tender slices of peppered Tofurkey with avocado and melted Daiya Havarti Garlic Jalapeño cheese. To top it off I used thick cut slices of artisan rosemary herbed bread.

I'm always looking for the perfect recipe to serve at parties. You know, the kind that will amaze my guests but will be kind to my feet (i.e., won't keep me in the kitchen for hours). These Vegan Mozzarella Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes are perfect for both categories. They're delicate, delicious, and definitely a show stopper at a party.

I found this recipe when leafing through the book, "The Breakaway Cook" by Eric Gower. The concept here is garlic - lots and lots of it - slow-cooked in oil. A more technical definition of a confit is meat cooked slowly in its own fat. Since I have been a vegetarian now for oh-so-many years, I've not been exposed to a lot of confits in my life. Thanks to Mr. Gower I didn't have to live with that disappointment one more minute.

Feeling like you're lacking energy lately? It could be because of the of busy job, long commutes, carting kids around from soccer practice to violin lessons, or not getting enough sleep.
But there could be other things at play as well. I have a theory about energy which was confirmed recently when I read a book by Dr. Mark Hyman called Ultra Metabolism. The theory boils down to simple steps to help boost metabolism and improve your energy. One way to do that is to increase your consumption of high-energy foods like this healthy but ultra tasty Vegan Broccoli Salad.

A hankering for potatoes recently combined with the not so gentle urging of my daughter resulted in a quest to make Twice Baked Potatoes. My quandary? How to make this traditionally creamy, cheesy dish vegan. I think I found a perfect solution using a healthy and delicious substitute...inspired by a trip to Argentina of all places. These Vegan Twice Baked Potatoes can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a meal itself with a salad on the side. Versatile and tasty!
