My friend Kathy Hester is at it again –The Easy Vegan Cookbook: Make Healthy Home Cooking Practically Effortless

Maple Quinoa Salad Recipe + Fit Foodie 5k Giveaway
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Quinoa and maple syrup, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. No, for real. Not only do quinoa’s toasty, nutty flavors sing when touched with atouch of naturally sweet maple syrup, but I Heart Keenwah and Pure Canadian Maple Syrup are both going to be represented in the Finisher’s Village at next month’s Fit Foodie 5k in Chicago. Another common thread? I am a maple syrup connoisseur and I work for I Heart Keenwah – so I’ll be right there to meet all the finis...

Giveaway: Non-Dairy Yogurt That Doesn’t Suck
From BakeandDestroy.net:
A few years ago, New York hardcore band Sick of It All and I had a very public conversation about the nastiness of soy yogurt. They recommended coconut, but I was too scarred by my soy experience to try it until now.
Coconut Dream just launched a non-dairy yogurt made with coconut milk (and non-GMO ingredients) and I am here to tell you that not only is it not gross, it’s actually quite good. I got to try all five flavors – original, vanilla, blueberry, strawberry and...

#BowlofStuff: The Nonie Bowl
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I had the pleasure of teaching a class at Whole Foods this past weekend – if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you’re well aware as I have been posting about it for a month. I had a birthday party that no one showed up to once as a kid so I have this fear that no one will come to my things that lives deep inside me – forgive the number of times I posted about this class and let’s just move on, shall we?

Smoky Jackfruit Hash Recipe
From BakeandDestroy.net:

Find more jackfruit recipes in my book!
Jackfruit has been a pretty big deal to vegans for some time now, but with the introduction of Upton’s Naturals new jackfruit products, it’s set to full blown explode. I posted a Jackfruit WTF FAQ a while back, which gives a general overview of what it is, how to cook it, and some ideas about how to use it (spoiler alert: put it on and inside of everything). If you’re new to this, or need a refresher, I recommend checking out th...

Ginger Miso Eggplant Jerky for Vegan Jerks
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Last week I received a review copy of Jerky Everything: Foolproof and Flavorful Recipes for Beef, Pork, Poultry, Game, Fish, Fruit, and Even Vegetables (Countryman Know How)
and was “this close” to tossing it in the basket in our apartment building’s doorway where I leave promo cookbooks I don’t want for my neighbors to take. But Tony was flipping through while we ate dinner, and was intrigued by the variety of vegan jerky recipes in the “and even vegetables” section i...
