I’ve been posting on Facebook about my journey and I have been getting quite a few questions about how to start a whole food plant-based diet. I buy lots of cookbooks and watch lots of YouTube channels to get some recipe inspiration. I thought it would be helpful if I did a post with some…

Under Pressure!
When my slow cooker broke a few months back, I swore I wasn’t going to replace it and convinced myself that I would just use my cast iron dutch oven instead. Who was I kidding? Seriously! I was able to trick myself into thinking this at that time because it was spring and warming up…
Philly Cheeeeeze Steak
As a vegan, one of the things that used to gross me out was seeing the horrible sign above a certain establishment that made Philly Cheese Steaks. It turned me off. Then when my partner explained what was inside of a Philly Cheese Steak, I figured… why not Veganize it! So I did. Below are…
Lizzie’s Kombucha Adventures in brewing the brew
Three weeks ago, I started to grow a baby SCOBY. She is all grown up now and ready to brew! Everyone, please meet Morticia! Yes, I named my SCOBY. If you’ve been following my blog posts, you will see that I also named my sourdough starters. These are living organism and they deserve names. …
Butter me up, Vegan style
Another step towards to being processed food free is to cut out store bought, processed condiments. The last few things on my list to learn how to make are Vegan butter, Vegan sour cream, Vegan mayo, ketchup, mustard and also tofu, Vegan yogurt and tomato paste. The one thing I will likely keep buying is…
Lizzie’s Breadmaker Buns!
No. This isn’t click bait. You can actually make buns in your breadmaker. Well, the dough for the buns. The breadmaker does all the work of kneading for you. Then once the dough is ready, all you need to do is divide the dough, shape it, then let it rise a bit and bake! I…
Lizzie’s Black Bean Burger Recipe
I finally made a grillable burger recipe! Yeah! Do you know how frustrating it is to take your hand-formed, beautifully looking burger patties out to the BBQ and have them fall apart! So, very, frustrating. These burgers can be grilled (though I suggest a grill pan of some sort, they may stick to the…
I will become a sourdough bread baking master!
Excited to try making my first loaf from the sourdough starter, I researched, read articles and watched various YouTube channels on how to make a loaf of sourdough bread. This process isn’t for the faint of heart. It can take 5 to 7 days to make a starter… or more. (see my previous post). Once…
Adventures in Sourdough
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, I lived a life filled with a grand fear of making bread. Seems odd considering both my grandmothers were master bread bakers and eventually my mother would become one as well. I spent my childhood watching them make bread and I managed to get the…
The Slime Of It!
Food confession: I hate slimy food. All of the slimy food. As a child I hated eggs for this reason and before becoming Vegan I would only eat eggs, if they were scrambled and to the point of being dry. (possibly another sign that I shouldn’t have been eating eggs). If a food is slimy,…
Not Vegan Now Vegan!
