Indian Spiced Tofu Black Bean Burger
I am always drawn the veggie burger recipes. I can't get enough of them. I like to try different recipes and note what worked and what didn't. When I made my Southwest Veggie Burger, the taste was spot on. However, it did not stay together well. That seems to be the case with a lot [...]

Happy New Year! Lobia for good luck in the new year
I wanted to start off the new year with a great bean recipe. While eating beans are a superstition that are supposed to bring good luck, I wanted to do them more as a great healthy and comforting start. I also did Hoppin' John and Black-Eyed Peas with Coconut Milk and Ethiopian Spices for the [...]

When it comes to types of vegetarians, I find there are three types: the never liked meat folks, the former meat eaters, and the junkatarian. [...]
