Dinner one night last week was inspired by a dish that my old friend Andrea used to make. I never did get her actual recipe, but it was based on a wild rice blend. If you’ve been here before, then you know that I’m a big quinoa lover, and that I love quinoa-a-fying rice and … Read more
I love the colors and flavors of Mexican food. On their own, avocado and cilantro are probably two of my favorite things, but add beans, tomatoes, cumin, and a bit of spice and well… that’s the start of some of my favorite meals, including these Refried Bean Tostadas! Refried beans are so easy to make … Read more

A couple years ago, I blogged about a Cauliflower Purée with Mushroom Compote, Seared King Mushroom and Shitake Bacon dish. That meal was awesome but time-consuming. Today, the big head of cauliflower sitting in my fridge inspired me to make a simple vegan mashed cauliflower side dish. I decided to load this up with roasted … Read more
I came across this recipe and just knew I had to make it vegan. After a few modifications, it’s now an awesome vegan dish that is even easier to put together than the original recipe. Recipe Notes I replaced the cottage cheese and eggs with vegan sour cream and Ener-G egg replacer. I left the … Read more
The holidays are so crazy, aren’t they? From wrapping-up work projects for the end of the calendar year, to finalizing gift shopping and decorating the house, there is often little time to do anything else. Even though I had plenty of notice for a holiday get together with friends a couple weeks ago, I left … Read more
With all the excitement of participating in the Vegan Month of Food, I sort of forgot to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Vegangela.com. Working on this blog has been such an enriching experience for me – and even if I were to stop blogging tomorrow, I know that my life has been forever changed by the incredible … Read more
These are the chocolate chip cookies that my mom made for me growing up – and it’s also one of the first recipes that I ever veganized, waaaaay back in high school. At the time, I susbstituted vegan margarine for the butter, and because the recipe didn’t call for any milk or eggs, it was … Read more
This is another one of the recipes that my mom made for me while I was visiting in August. The chickpeas and pine nuts offer a great crunch and nutty flavor, while the vinaigrette has a lovely fresh lemony taste that to me, tastes just like summer. Having said that, this would be great any … Read more
My awesome little mama has been cooking up a storm for me during my stay in Ottawa and I thought it only fair that I return the favor by making her lunch earlier this week. My mom can make pretty much anything, but she had never made taco salads before. And I know that she … Read more
All my friends and family back home in Ottawa and Toronto have been saying how warm it’s been there lately. I’ll be there in a couple weeks myself and I really hope that the weather holds-up. I’m especially looking forward to those long hot summer evenings. Sydney has amazing weather all year round, but the … Read more
This vegan rhubarb crumble and ginger ice cream recipe is another one that originated from the LCBO’s Food & Wine magazine. I earmarked the recipe a while ago in the hopes of eventually veganizing it, and I’m really happy that I finally got around to doing it last week. The ginger ice cream nicely compliments … Read more
I cut this soup recipe out of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper many years ago – and it’s been one of my favorites ever since. The coconut milk makes it so rich and creamy and the cilantro (fresh coriander) and lime give it such a fresh, summer-taste, any time of the year. I veganized the original … Read more
As you may have read in my Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup post, I’ve been going a little overboard at the farmers’ market lately. I never used to make the effort to get up early and go to farmer’s markets, but I have to say that it has since become something that I really look forward … Read more
I came across this recipe for Roasted Cauliflower in Lemon-Tahini Sauce on the Vegetarian Times website and it’s really awesome. While I don’t particularly love raw cauliflower, I do love it in low-carb risotto or simply roasted. Even if you’re not a huge cauliflower fan, I still really recommend trying this recipe. Just roasting the cauliflower … Read more
The best part of this roasted fresh tomato soup (other than the taste), is the aroma that will fill your home when making it! I got a little carried away at the farmer’s market last week and found myself with too many tomatoes. I didn’t really feel like making the obvious thing (pasta sauce) so … Read more
