Gazpacho!

gazpacho ingredients

Many years ago I was having lunch at a San Diego restaurant with a friend. Gazpacho was one of the few vegan items on the menu and we both ordered it. My friend is from Spain and gave me his critique of the restaurant’s version; he later showed me how he makes it. I re-created his … Read more

Savory Vegan Lentil Meatloaf

Lentil loaf with sriracha glaze

I hesitate to call this a meatloaf. I didn’t like meatloaf much back in my meat-eating days, and I love this savory mix of lentils and vegetables. For many people, however, meatloaf was a comfort food and they are looking for a vegan substitute. So here’s my version of a Savory Vegan Lentil Meatloaf. I used … Read more

Best Vegan Mayo (Tofu Based)

9 September, 20172 September, 2016 by singingvegan
vegan chipotle mayonnaise

I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise. When I still lived in California I avoided mayo, mostly because of the fat content. If I really needed some for a specialty dish, I could run to the store and pick up some Veganaise–something I can’t do here in Guatemala. Since my dad’s favorite late night snack is … Read more

Super Rich and Simple Almond Milk

9 September, 20174 August, 2016 by singingvegan
almonds

I’ve never been a fan of commercial non-dairy milks. They taste processed to me, and I don’t like all the additives and wasteful packaging. For a long time I made cashew milk, but the impossibility of finding raw cashews in Guatemala had me looking for alternatives. I make coconut milk, but it doesn’t work well … Read more

Some days you just need soup. Today I was in the mood for a hearty, creamy soup with a kick, and I wanted it fast. This Creamy Curried Cauliflower Potato soup was the result, and it took about 30 minutes. Swirl in a little Sweet and Spicy Sriracha sauce–it was perfect. I started with only … Read more

Brown Rice Salad with Tahini Dressing

Brown rice salad with tahini sauce

I needed a dish to take to a potluck. There are only so many times you can take pasta salad or hummus to a potluck, right? One of my standby dishes is quinoa salad, but I was out of quinoa. What to do? Presto, this Brown Rice Salad was born. It has most of the ingredients … Read more

I make this easy tahini dressing at least once a week. Not only is it my favorite salad dressing, it is the most requested salad dressing by Lake Villa Guatemala guests. It’s so quick to make—you can whip it up in just a couple minutes. Try it on green salad, coleslaw, or on a grain … Read more

Wilted Cucumber Salad

16 December, 201613 June, 2016 by singingvegan
wilted cucumber salad

When I first became vegetarian in the 1970s, one of my favorite cookbooks was the Moosewood Cookbook. When it’s younger sibling, The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, came out, I wanted to love it. But love never blossomed between us and I gave away my copy years ago. Recently, though, a friend introduced me to a recipe … Read more

Addictive Kale Chips

10 October, 20171 May, 2012 by singingvegan

We all have our vices, and these savory, crunchy leaves of goodness are one of mine. Kale is not readily available in the markets here in Guatemala, so I grow my own. Months of growing, a night of dehydrating, and the whole batch was consumed in a morning. Oh. So. Good. I have a wonderful … Read more

Zucchini Lasagna

10 October, 201722 January, 2012 by singingvegan

One of the favorite dishes served at Lake Villa Guatemala is our scrumptious zucchini lasagna. I often make this ahead so it can be easily served on days when I’m out exploring Lake Atitlan with guests. This lasagna is a complete meal itself but goes great with a crisp salad made from greens harvested from our … Read more
