VeganCuts Review: February

VeganCutsFeb

Hello everyone,

As you know, I love snacks, and I love getting mail. Put the two together and you get a monthly VeganCuts subscription! Today, I received my February subscription box, and I thought I’d share the contents with you.

But first, did you miss my January VeganCuts review? If so, check it out now!

This month’s box has a pretty good variety of snacks, although there are three snack bars. The box included everything from I Heart Keenwah Quinoa puffs to almond butter to mushroom coffee (odd, I know). A full list of the items I received is below. Continue reading “VeganCuts Review: February” →

Recipe: Broccoli (Vegan) Cheddar Potato Skins

Hello everyone,FullSizeRender_8

How’d you spend your weekend? Eating junk food, watching the game, or at least, watching Lady Gaga and Beyonce? I actually love football, but I wasn’t terribly invested in either team. I’m a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. That said, I love any excuse to yell at the TV and eat some tasty vegan comfort food.

This year my partner decided to try his hand at vegan potato skins. Veganizing your basic potato skin is pretty simple. Instead of real cheese, use your favorite non-dairy alternative, such as Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds. Instead of real sour cream, use something like Tofutti Sour Supreme Cream. It’s as easy as that!

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!
