VeganCuts Review

Hello everyone,IMG_1698

My name is Jocelyn, and I love snacks. There is nothing better than a small, sweet or savory pick me up in the middle of a long work day. Or after work. Or before bed. Or anytime really. You get my point.

In addition to loving snacks, I also love receiving mail. So what’s better than a monthly subscription for vegan snacks? Nothing!

I have been an on again off again Vegan Cuts subscriber for the past few years. I recently renewed my subscription again and thought I’d review this month’s box. Continue reading “VeganCuts Review”

Recipe: Tofu Spring Rolls

Hello everyone,
Who doesn’t love a good appetizer? Some of my favorite appetizers come from asian restaurants – pakoras, fried tofu, summer rolls, and spring rolls! This weekend I realized that I had never actually made spring rolls, so I decided to give them a try.
I’ll be honest – I didn’t make the most attractive looking spring rolls, but they tasted great! I also found the entire process quite enjoyable. Rolling spring rolls is kind of fun!

This is the perfect quick and easy appetizer to bring along to your next potluck or social event. Please give this recipe and let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Jocelyn

Restaurant Review: B52 Cafe in Pittsburgh

Hello everyone,FullSizeRender

While I have been in Cleveland for almost seven years, I spent most of my life a short trip
from Pittsburgh, PA. My family is still in the area, and I am an avid Steelers fan. When the Steelers made it into the playoffs, I knew I would be making the trek back home to watch the game(s). What better excuse to spend a few days in the city and try out some new coffee shops and restaurants?

B52 just opened in the up and coming Lawrenceville neighborhood. B52 is an abbreviation for the cafe’s location which is the corner of Butler and 52nd Streets. This is the second venture of Allegro Hearth Bakery creator, Omar Abuhejleh, and I think he’s onto something very special.  Continue reading “Restaurant Review: B52 Cafe in Pittsburgh”

Recipe: Savory Lentil Vegetable Stew

Hello everyone,FullSizeRender_3

We haven’t had much of a winter until this week, and I am not prepared. One good thing
that comes along with cold weather is hearty, savory stews! This past week I was going through my cupboards and I noticed I had a lot of red lentils begging to be used. Thus, I decided to clean out my refrigerator and make a stew.
Soups and stews are the perfect end of the week meal on a chilly night. It’s warm and inviting, plus it enables you to use up all of those vegetables wasting away in the crisper.

What follows is my own recipe for a savory lentil vegetable stew, flavored with turmeric and cardamom. It’s so delicious you and your family will all want seconds, which is just fine, since this recipe makes enough to serve 10!
