It's hard for carnivores to imagine life without bacon. And unfortunately, most of the plant-based bacon products aren't very good. Trust me, I've tried them all! Sweet Earth Hickory & Sage Benevolent Bacon is one of the newer products, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it ...

Mexican Bell Pepper and Vegan Chorizo Casserole
I know that a lot of folks like Mexican Mondays or Taco Tuesdays, and I'm all for expanding my repertoire of delicious food from south of the border. This dish is loosely based on an old favorite from the classic Moosewood Cookbook, but with a lot more protein because of the addition of a 12 ...
Oven Baked Ratatouille with Vegan Spinach Pesto Sausage
Finding a new way to make a favorite dish is always fun. That's one of the reasons I continue to subscribe to both the print and online editions of Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country, even though a lot of their recipes contain meat and chicken. I love the fact that their super smart cooks do ...
A Better Baste for Tofurky Veggie Roast
I've been loyal to Quorn Turk'y Roast at the holidays for many years. But then my hubby brought home Tofurky Veggie Roast for me to try. (Probably because it was on sale at Earth Fare!) While Quorn Turk'y Roast is meatless, but unfortunately not vegan because of the egg whites and milk ...

Waste not, want not
“Waste not, want not” was a phrase I heard a lot in my youth. I always took it to mean that I shouldn’t waste something because I might need it in the future. We all need to use all of our food resources more wisely – and no article makes that case more clearly than National Geographic’s ...
Turkey Tetrazzini – a Neglected Comfort Food
I decided to repurpose half of the Maple-Glazed Quorn Turk’y Roast that survived our Christmas meal to make Turkey Tetrazzini. Turkey Tetrazzini is one of those old fashioned comfort food meals your mom probably made after holidays to save money and to make sure that nothing went to ...
My Maple-Glazed Quorn Turk’y Roast will sweeten up your holiday meal
I've been eager to share the great new recipe I came up with at Thanksgiving for Quorn Turk'y Roast. Unfortunately, in our haste to eat it, I failed to take photos of the finished meal. So, I had to wait until it was almost Christmas to try this out again - and man, it's even better with a ...
