When I am off on holidays, I like to catch up with friends at my favorite places. Open table makes it convenient for me to save all my favorite restaurants. It also makes it easy to see which of them have a table available. East is East is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. …
Vegan Cauliflower Alfredo
Creamy, dairy free, egg free, tasty, noms, yum. I have finally perfected my recipe for cauliflower alfredo sauce. You won’t miss the cheese or dairy. It is also a sneaky way to get your kids to eat veggies. I think this is also great for someone who is watching their calorie intake. What you need…
Kushikatsu
Kushikatsu is Japanese dish of deep fried skewered meat and vegetables. You can use a variety of meats and vegetables and customize it to what you like. This dish is very easy to make.

I am pretty sure there are more ice cream shops out there that are amazing. My go to place is Mario Gelato because they have a coconut sugar ice cream. So…
Pan-fried Gyoza
Dumplings are always a favorite of mine. I love that they can make a quick meal and how you can cook them in many ways. This recipe is a non-recipe because most filling varies from recipe to recipe. There are no real set measurements and you can eye the amount of each ingredient. A guide…
Vegan Shortbread Cookies
Every since I was diagnosed with a milk intolerance, I looked to alternatives since I missed dairy in my life. I came across Earth Balance through websites and google searches. I gave it a try and found that it was “pretty good” as a butter substitute in frying and on toast. This time I wanted…
