I scream, you scream, we all scream for… Did someone say vegan ice cream? As a kid, my brother and I would always look forward to our occasional trips to High’s Ice Cream, our neighborhood ice cream parlor back in the 80’s. I still remember the way it smelled, the twirling bar stools, and theContinue reading “Bruster’s Ice Cream: Vegan Restaurant Review”

Baba Ganoush Mediterranean Grill: Vegan Restaurant Review
On the agenda this summer are multiple tours of Virginia universities as my younger daughter contemplates her choices entering her senior year of high school. This week, we decided to tour the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. As is customary when touring a college, you must sample the cuisine of a local restaurant! AContinue reading “Baba Ganoush Mediterranean Grill: Vegan Restaurant Review”
All Creatures Great and Small
Sunday morning after my 10 mile run, I hung out with my fellow coaches for a bit, which is customary for us. I kept being bothered by a fly. I’m sure my stench after the effort of those hot and humid miles was irresistible to him. But when I got to my car to driveContinue reading “All Creatures Great and Small”
Hurley’s Tavern: Vegan Restaurant Review
This unassuming pub is nestled in a strip mall in Innsbrook on the West End of Henrico. I first heard about it on the RVA Vegans Facebook page, so I decided I needed to check it out at some point. Last weekend, my daughter wanted to go out for lunch, so we hit up Hurley’sContinue reading “Hurley’s Tavern: Vegan Restaurant Review”
Vegan Carrot Apple Cole Slaw
Are you looking for a more creative version of the traditional cole slaw? Something both sweet and tangy? With the crunch and sweetness of apple, the creaminess of the mayo, the bite of red onion and spicy mustard, and the acidity of apple cider vinegar, this is a tasty summer side dish and a greatContinue reading “Vegan Carrot Apple Cole Slaw”
A Story about Chickens
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may remember that I used to keep chickens. I really enjoyed their company. It was partly because of my experience with them that I went vegan. When I first started keeping chickens, I was still eating them. My husband became heavily immersed in the CrossFitContinue reading “A Story about Chickens”
Simple Air Fried Tofu
The air fryer is an appliance everyone should have in their kitchen. Mine is the Cuisinart that is readily available at Costco. Not only does it air fry, but it’s also a toaster, oven, and convection oven. We are on our second one. Our first lasted a few months past its third birthday. The warranty,Continue reading “Simple Air Fried Tofu”
Vegan Overnight Oats
Now that summer is here, it might be nice to have some cold breakfast meals that don’t include cereal that comes from a box! As a vegetarian, I used to make overnight oats frequently in the warmer months, and so I decided to veganize my basic recipe, with a few add ins! The new additions?Continue reading “Vegan Overnight Oats”
The Best Vegan Collard Greens
I wasn’t really a fan of cooked greens until I was an adult. It’s a crime of epic proportions to have missed out on a childhood of this delicious Southern dish when, in fact, I did grow up in “the South.” I didn’t really start to like these until I met my husband! Even backContinue reading “The Best Vegan Collard Greens”
The Silver Diner: Vegan Restaurant Review: Update
You may recall that I wrote a review of my regional favorite, The Silver Diner, sometime last year. With multiple vegan menu items, a plant-based diner may be faced with the unfathomable conundrum of having to make a choice about what to order, a rare dilemma, indeed. Since writing that review, the Silver Diner hasContinue reading “The Silver Diner: Vegan Restaurant Review: Update”
