Confession time. Third time was the charm. Everything came together for this sketchnote from Vida Vegan Con. What I mean is that I was out of practice on sketchnoting, so the first two were good, but I wasn’t hitting my Flow. My skills were a little low and the challenge was a little too high....

I had the opportunity to attend Vida Vegan Con III recently. Vida Vegan Con was amazing! This was the third and final one (or will it be?). More info on the three amazing founders (Jess Sconé, Janessa Philamon-Kerp, and Michele Truty) and event info can be found here, http://vidavegancon.com/. In each session I attended, I...

Cashew Alfredo Sauce

Do you want to know something funny? I never liked Fettuccine Alfredo before I was vegan. I ate it a few times because I had friends who loved it. I could never get over how heavy it was. Give me a simple garlicky tomato sauce or pesto any day! This all changed when I became...

Whole Wheat Sesame Bagels

Background Information This recipe is based on the one in Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I’ve modified it a little, added some notes and thoughts for what was successful for me. Don’t be intimidated by all the instructions. It’s actually not as complicated as I thought it would be. Making the dough is easy,...

Red Cabbage Salad

Salads are a funny thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love salads. Some of my favorite meals are salads (like Veggie Grill’s All Hail Kale, Native Foods Chimmichurri Chop Salad, and the 118 Degrees Raw Taco Salad). Salads, done well, are full of flavors, textures, and are a great balance of protein, vitamins, minerals, etc....

Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette

There’s nothing like a good vinaigrette as a dressing. One of my favorite recipes is a simple Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette. A vinaigrette that’s been done well is a beautiful, emulsified balance of sour, sweet, and salty. A little bit of bite is great too. In this vinaigrette, the sour is from lemon (of course), the...
