Andouille Sausage, Shrimp and Stuffing
Just because you eat gluten free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy comfort food. Aldi supermarkets has a great selection of Gluten Free products and one of them is the stuffing I bought for Thanksgiving for my relatives who eat gluten free but they were sick at Thanksgiving. I was tired of staring at it on […]
Ginger Oatmeal Mini Scones with Walnuts
These little treats are satisfying with a great, spicy punch from the crystallized ginger. If they are not going to be eaten within a day, I would freeze them for later because they may get hard fairly quickly. The best part about these scones is that they are vegan and small, so you can eat […]
Spring Chick Pea Salad with Toasted Almonds and Peppers
We’re getting into salad season! If you’re craving something fresh and colorful, this salad not only looks festive but is very satisfying with the combination of textures. I added some roasted cauliflower but it’s just as good without it. Enjoy by itself (chick peas are a great source of protein) or as a side dish. […]
Dojo’s Soy Burger Dinner
My favorite restaurant growing up was Dojo in the East Village. It served the phenomenal Soy Burger Dinner with the INSANE carrot ginger dressing that remained $3.95 for decades! I ate there as a middle schooler (what we called Junior high), a High Schooler, a college student, a social worker and then a pregnant mom. […]
Vegan Sir Kensington’s Mayonnaise Chocolate Chip Cookies-DELICIOUS!
Yes, I know what you’re thinking…GROSS! No, not gross. These are absolutely delicious! They are moist and I couldn’t stop eating them! Sir Kensington’s is a brand of mayo that my kids absolutely love so when I was asked to try their products (they sent me some for free), I was all in. I have […]
Secret Olive Oil Cake
I have a confession to make: I asked a certain waitress in a certain restaurant in a certain city for the recipe for the incredible olive oil cake I had in her restaurant. She said only the staff were given the recipes but that she had given her two weeks notice and thought it would […]

Gluten Free Almond Orange Cookies
Hello Everyone! I am hoping that you won’t make fun of me for calling the following recipe “cookies”. Sometimes I think it best to refer to a food item as something other than what we’re trying to emulate, if it’s features are far from the original item. Like balls of healthy stuff. I am, however, […]
Coconut Lentil Soup with Chipotle Chicken Sausage
Hello everyone! Although Spring is just about here, we still have some cold days ahead of us that will require some comforting soups. No matter your cooking abilities, this soup could not be easier. It is one of those one pot meals that you just throw together. It is simple to prepare, packed with protein, […]
Tangy Cannellini Beans with Roasted Red Pepper
Hello everyone, My son is in a CBD oil study at Albert Einstein which means that I get to get out of dodge once a month. It may seem like a chore to drive all the way to the Bronx but it’s what you DO when you get to the Bronx that makes it exciting! […]
