I am not a baker, I have a very short collection of go to vegan desserts. I played with this recipe for 2 days, until I loved the final result. The sweetness is balanced perfectly with the tart raspberries and the creamy meyer lemon curd.

This soul-restoring soup is proof that a few veggies are all you need to create something wonderful. Traditionally made with beef, this vegan version is just as hearty and satisfying.

Beer Battered Brussels Sprouts with Maple Dijon Sauce
I am not apologizing for frying a vegetable. These are good…too good, especially dipped in this delicious mustard sauce. It’s best to make them in the presence of people who will help stop you from devouring the entire batch yourself. Crispy thin coating outside, creamy inside… hey, it’s a green leafy vegetable so basically like… Continue reading Beer Battered Brussels Sprouts with Maple Dijon Sauce
Tofu Medallions a la Diabla
Before I was vegan Camarones a la Diabla ( Shrimp in Spicy Sauce) was one of my signature dishes. I learned to prepare this dish, because it was one of my favorites.

Vegan Aguachile
Aguachile literally translates into chile water, which sounds less appetizing. This classic dish hails from Sinaloa, Mexico and is traditionally prepared with shrimp.

Aguachile is a variation of ceviche that is prepared with a puree of… Continue reading Vegan Aguachile

Ceviche Nachos
Ceviche…something I thought I would miss when I went vegan. Then this recipe was born, the final result was so good, I went around to my family shoving chips topped with this ceviche into their mouths, analyzing every facial expression…then again I tend to do this with almost everything I make. This has all of… Continue reading Ceviche Nachos

Creamy Chayote Soup
Chayote squash…depending on where you’re from it is either a common vegetable or an exotic one. When trying to describe their flavor…well, let’s just say I respond with “Just try it!” For me finding a pot of steamed chayotes on my mother’s stove was a common thing. I did not care for chayotes back then,… Continue reading Creamy Chayote Soup
