The strike continues. I am in a no-bake zone currently. I refuse to create another cupcake batter after 5 recent failed attempts so my Valentine will be getting this Spicy Chipotle Tempeh Wrap instead. We both have been looking for ways to eat more vegetarian meals anyway and despite the fact that I have strayed from…

Raw Vegan “Goat” Cheese Dip
I was inspired by the idea of a raw vegan “goat” cheese dip from a recipe on Pinterest (now, for the life of me, I cannot find it–grrrrr) a while back. It was in its original cheese form and I have been brewing on an idea of how to translate it into a non-dairy version but without the soy….

Frozen Peanut Butter and Jellies
The funny thing about my connection to peanut butter & jelly is my mother’s perfume: Estee Lauder’s Cinnabar.
