Dinner at Cashew in Chattanooga
We drove up to Tennessee for the weekend and Cashew was having a four course southern themed dinner Saturday night. Cashew is great vegan cafe in Chattanooga. It is in Coolidge park on the Northshore. We have been there a few times before for lunch and we ordered from them for Thanksgiving before. I have never had anything from Cashew I didn’t enjoy and this night was no different. It was a four course meal that they started off with Pimento cheese made from cashews. The second course was a salad with tofu “blue cheese” crumbles. I have never had vegan blue cheese before and have no idea how them…

Casserole dishes for the holidays
Today I wanted to re-post and share a few of my favorite vegan casserole dishes for the holidays that could be solid contenders for any Thanksgiving dinner table. It’s that time of year again when everyone starts asking me “but what are you going to eat if you don’t eat turkey?”. Absolutely everything else.

Vacation to Maine

One of the best days we had in the park was when we started out with a morning hike around Jordan Pond. The hike around the lake was a little over three miles. It started out a little…

Camping Trip with Vegan Sloppy Joe Mix
This weekend we went camping at Buck’s Pocket State Park in northeast Alabama. An easy meal to make when you go camping is vegan sloppy joe sandwiches. We use Fantastic World Foods vegan Sloppy Joe mix. It’s really easy you add the box mix and canned tomato paste to boiling water. The instruction on the package also says to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil but we leave that out. We picked this campground because we wanted to take our kayaks with us and paddle around on the lake. There is a near by boat ramp at Morgan’s cove where you can put in to Guntersville Lake. You can still…
