The term “spring rolls” carries with it a little leeway. While broadly used to describe large filled-and-rolled Asian appetizers, everything from the kind of wrapper used to *the fillings and the way the rolls are cooked (or not cooked) is … More »
Meatless Monday: 10 Vegetarian & Vegan Spring...
Okay, so here's the deal. I'm interested in trying a completely VEGAN version of the paleo diet. Paleo diet includes mainly: vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and meats. All are OK for me to eat except the latter food.
So I'm looking to simply REPLACE foods like MEAT and FISH with vegan versions...
Vegan celebrity trainer John Pierre, who trains Ellen DeGeneres, sorta kinda told a room full of Capitol Hill staffers that Americans' poor diets are to blame for school shootings. Uh, whaaaa? More »
Ugh, Vegan Trainer Says Kids’ Sugary Diets Lead To School Shootings is a post from Blisstree -...
Stuffed mushrooms tend to get relegated to hors*d'oeuvres*status, but what's to say you can't serve them up as a main dish? Mushrooms provide protein and*umami*to meatless meals, and with a good herb, nut and veggie stuffing, you're looking at a pretty complete nutritional profile in each...
Jack and Toby Litsky are hardcore new vegans: The married couple started a plant-based diet last year. Because of their new emphasis on health, they like to bring their own 100% whole wheat pasta to restaurants when they eat out in their home state of New Jersey. Usually that's not a problem...
One of the most important tricks to vegan baking is learning proper substitutes for eggs, butter and milk. Replacing the milk is pretty easy, with so many non-dairy milks easily available today; and butter can be swapped for olive oil or vegan margarine, such as Earth Balance spread. But vegan...
I love making mashed red potatoes with some pureed cauliflower, Earth Balance, and almond milk. The only thing missing is a rich, hearty gravy that isn't just pure sodium, but rather has some ingredients that do a body good. Anyone have an amazing recipe?
Conversation hearts are a Valentine’s Day staple -- but let’s be honest, store-bought candy hearts are kind of chalky and weird-tasting. They also contain gelatin, which is not only neither vegan nor vegetarian-friendly, it’s also a little icky when you know more about it. But if you’re craving...
Vegan chocolate candy can be just as rich, sweet and delicious as the milk chocolate hearts and truffles that line grocery store shelves and Valentine's candy boxes this time of year. Ditch the Whitman's and Godiva and try making some of these easy vegan chocolate treats for your beloved(s) this...
it's this milky green roundish bean. taste like all other beans, maybe a little like green peas(though not sweet).
I have NO onion, but have lots of spices, herbs.
My baby boxie is a very picky eater. He refuses any type of worm, ball bugs and slugs. He will sometimes eat spinach if he is persuaded long enough. He likes cherry tomatoes pretty well. But I made the mistake of treating the little guy to strawberry and he won't eat anything else. He used to...
If the slate of vegan celebrities, cookbooks, restaurants, and chefs isn't enough to push it over the tipping point, The Cooking Channel is doing their part to push veganism into the mainstream this Sunday, with their new show, "How To Live To 100." Led by celebrity vegan chef, Jason Wrobel...
Since the deaths of 20 students and 6 teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary school, everyone we know has been arguing over which arguments to have, and when to have them. But one argument that's emerged since Monday is so irrelevant, it's shocking: The fact that the shooter, Adam Lanza, was vegan...

Vegan Christmas Cookie Recipes You’ll Actually Like is a post from Blisstree - Nutrition, Healthy Recipes and Fitness.
Now that winter is seriously approaching, I'm happy to be breaking out my slow cooker again. I know some people whip things up in them year round, but to me the slow cooker (or Crock Pot as my mom still calls it) means stews, chili and soups. So I love this idea from Oregonian writer Grant...
The Los Angeles Times just interviewed John Salley, the former NBA player (who played with the Lakers) about his vegan diet. They asked some obvious questions about his transition from vegetarianism to becoming a vegan athlete, but one of their questions was one that's common for...
What's great about Thanksgiving? Lots of things, but pumpkin is one of them. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin casserole and pumpkin desserts. All of which taste great, but are not always easy to make if you're going vegan. So we did a little digging and found five pumpkin-inspired desserts for...
I may be a little miffed with football and its fans*lately, but I'm still a lover of the game--and of getting together with friends to watch. But all the chicken wings and potato chips can turn a fun afternoon or evening into a gross, bloated, awful next day and season. Instead of serving...
