I just discovered that Daiya has a cream cheese! Tonight, while shopping at Whole Foods, I saw it next to the regular cream cheese. I bought the chive and onion flavor and I’m currently having a late night snack of a bagel with the faux cream cheese. Yum! If you have been missing cream cheese,…

Coconut Millet with Strawberries
I had never cooked or eaten millet. I’m also not a big breakfast person, so I always have difficulty getting enough morning calories since I can’t eat eggs and I HATE regular cereal with milk substitutes (I was never big on cold cereals to begin with). I also need to ensure I get enough protein…
Vegan Scrambled Eggs
I haven’t been feeling the best lately and I believe it’s been because of being lax with my food. I have been disregarding my egg allergy and eat dairy & beef on occasion when I really have a craving. So, it’s time to get back on track. Or, at least the best I can considering…
Amy’s Kitchen Vegan Margherita Pizza
Finally…a pizza that cures my craving and tastes like a real cheese pizza! Having a dairy allergy really sucks when it comes to cheese. I adore cheese and this is the one thing I really miss. Recently, I found a vegan pizza from Amy’s Kitchen that uses the Daiya cheese (see my previous review). I…

Simple Buttercup Squash Casserole
Buttercup (not Butternut) squash tastes similar to pumpkin and has a dark orange colored meat. It’s a bit on the dryer side than the blue Hubbard squash I made the other night. The following recipe makes a great side dish that’s almost like desert. Ingredients: 1 (2 1/2 lb) buttercup squash 2 tablespoons brown sugar,…
Vegan Scalloped Potatoes
I was craving scalloped potatoes today, so I went online to find one that didn’t include any dairy or gluten. I found one, but didn’t have all the ingredients, plus I didn’t want artichoke in mine. What attracted me to this recipe was that the author has the same feeling about a lot of vegan…

Tofu Scramble
Breakfast is the hardest meal for me. I’m lazy about cooking anything early in the morning, which means I often don’t eat much, making it that much harder to lose weight. This morning, I decided to try making a tofu scramble since I can’t tolerate eggs. It never really sounded appealing to me, but since…
