Pomegranate Vegan Cream Cheese bursts with naturally sweetened tart goodness, just like the dairy-based original! Cream Cheese Love With this recipe I am definitely another step closer to feeling like I haven't given up any of my old faves in order to eat a plant-based diet. Cream cheese had many positive associations for me in my pre-plant-based diet days. I would meet a good friend at the local bagel shop where we'd order toasted bagels slathered with the creamy flavor of the day. There ...

Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Spread (Gluten-free, Vegan/Plant-based)
Roasted Garlic and Red Pepper Spread - A perfect flavor pairing. So creamy, rich and smooth you will never guess it's plant-based. The Magic of Roasted Garlic Is there anything more appetizing than the scent of garlic roasting in olive oil? Once roasted, a flavor that can sometimes be a little pungent, transforms into a tempered, smooth, nutty deliciousness! For this very reason I knew that using cashews for the creamy base would be a great success. Add in a little red bell ...
Easy Gluten-free Vegan Tortillas
Easy Gluten-free Vegan Tortillas have great taste, texture, and require only 4 ingredients. Sandwich some vegan cheese and veggies between for a fabulous plant-based quesadilla! Making Tortillas Gluten-free Tortillas are pretty much a staple in my home. They are served up as quesadillas, tacos, wraps or just a delivery device for some great dips. What can't you do with them? Unlike myself, my family is not gluten-free per se. Although I eat a gluten-free diet out of necessity, I do ...
Eggplant Caponata (Gluten-Free, Vegan/Plant-based, Sugar-Free)
Mangia! My favorite Italian word. (Right up there with Vino! and Salute!, in that order.) If Italian food is placed before me you don't have to tell me to mangia twice. One of the great hallmarks of this cuisine is its reputation for simplicity. Italian cooks focus on the quality of the ingredients rather than the quantity to produce an abundance of flavor. Eggplant Caponata fully embodies this philosophy, producing such a full and distinct taste. Caponata from the Old ...
Fire-Roasted Three Chili Guacamole
California might be the greatest place on earth. I'm not talking about Hollywood here. I'm not talking about the all the gold it once harbored in its hills. I'm not even talking about the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. California is important across the landscape of history for a place called La Habra Heights. Never heard of it? Allow me to enlighten you. Why Hass Avocados Are So Good In 1926, a mail-carrier-cum-amateur-horticulturist named Rudolph Hass ...
![Yesterday I finally wrapped up a major decluttering project. Does anyone else find it therapeutic to clean??🤷♀️ I chose this special wine I'd been saving to mark the occasion. Paradise Springs Santa Barbara 2014 Pinot Noir. This winery brand boasts a very unique claim to fame. . .

I've visited Paradise Springs Winery and enjoyed many of their wines. They are one of my favorite Virginia wine makers. They opened their doors in Clifton, Virginia in 2007, but by 2013 had grown from producing 1,300 cases annually to 12,000. With demand outpacing the supply of fruit in Virginia, founder Kirk Wiles headed west. In 2014 the Paradise Springs doors opened in Santa Barbara making it the first bicoastal winery brand in the United States.🍷🥂👏

This 2014 Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills is from their inaugural vintage and if it's any indication of things to come--the future is promising! It was balanced and delightful with smooth tannins and medium plus acidity. The nose opened with baking spices and black pepper while the palate was a nice dance of red fruits including strawberry, cherry, and red raspberry with a little hint of spice. The finish was long and enjoyable but not heavy handed. I am looking forward to trying more wines from the Santa Barbara location!🍷🥂
