	Epicuriosity and vegan whole wheat naan by Allison Brewer One of the best side benefits of eating vegetarian/vegan, in my opinion, has been the exposure that this has given me to foods from other cultures. Restaurants that serve foods from other regions of the world are frequently veg-friendly and I have discovered so many things that I love with what I would call my "epicuriosity".Among my…	1 vote 754 views
	Grilled pizza by Allison Brewer It takes a lot to impress me with pizza but if it is homemade and grilled it is likely to be great, if you ask me! I make my own crust and, with all the different kinds of flour out there, there is a bit of alchemy that goes into this process. I love the amazingly supple and authentic dough that I can make with "00" Italian flour but…	1 vote 826 views
	Blackberry orange muffins (vegan) by Allison Brewer You may have already figured out that I have a bit of a love affair with muffins after my gushing over my "Best banana muffins in the history of all banana muffins". I will admit, though, that I'm a muffin snob- it has to be low fat, vegan, lower in sugar, contain a bit of protein, and taste great. This doesn't happen often, people!…	1 vote 652 views
	Super fast "overnight oats" by Allison Brewer I have been dying to try the "Vegan Overnight Oats" that I've been reading about in Angela's Oh She Glows blog for a long time. I finally mixed up a batch on Wednesday night and they were fantastic! Breakfast can't get any faster than this!My version of OSG Vegan Overnight Oats:Makes 1 servingMash the banana well.

	Raw "pasta" by Allison Brewer A while back I wrote about a raw chili that I had enjoyed for dinner. Since I loved the "nut meat" portion of the meal so much, I created a raw "pasta" meal using similar ingredients. Instead of noodles, I used a potato peeler to cut raw zucchini into ribbons. I topped the zucchini with a raw tomato sauce and some "nut meat".Place all…	1 vote 410 views
	Green melon smoothie by Allison Brewer I received a honeydew melon in my CSA box the other day and decided to "smoothie it". This is naturally sweet and super healthy. Perfect for breakfast on a sunny summer morning! I'll give you the basic recipe and then some options for "kicking it up a notch". Enjoy!Green melon smoothieServes about 2Place all ingredients in a blender…	1 vote 579 views
	Fruit waffles with vegan vanilla cream by Allison Brewer My family loves breakfast. I try, when I have time, to make something a little more special on the weekends. I had some berries and nectarines from my CSA box this week so I decided on waffles for breakfast on Sunday. I threw together a quick vegan vanilla cream sauce that went very well with the fruit. You can use this sauce on…	1 vote 655 views
	Asian rice with greens and pecans by Allison Brewer I received a large bunch of chard in my CSA box last week and decided to use it in an Asian rice dish for dinner. This recipe would work well with just about any kind of greens or with broccoli in place of the chard depending on what you prefer. Green peas or snow peas would also be a great addition.Asian rice with greens and…	1 vote 568 views
	Raw foods by Allison Brewer My interest in raw foods has been gradually growing over time and I have recently been incorporating more and more raw meals into my diet. Why raw? For a good overview, see the Living Light Culinary Arts Institute explanation here. For me, eating raw means eating whole and living (think sprouted) foods. Eating this way makes me feel…	1 vote 492 views
