Gather round dear readers, because this is a post that is YEARS in the making. Yes, years. You see, chocolate chip cookies are my all time favorite cookies ever. There is something so perfect about the simple combination of slightly sweet dough and decadent chocolate that just makes my tastebuds sing. But you’ve got to [...]

Persian Potatoes and Rice with Mushroom Confit and Cilantro
by Tasha on February 19, 2010 in Dinners, Middle-Eastern
This is classic Iranian comfort food, known as Tah Dig, and it really doesn’t get any better than this. Cody and I are both in love with this meal, it’s almost a week later and we are still gushing about it. I veganized (and improved upon!) a recipe from this month’s Martha Stuart Living magazine, [...]
Global Vegan: France – Vegan Beef Broth and French Onion Soup
by Tasha on January 29, 2010 in Dinners, Global Vegan, Soups, Uncategorized
As soon as summer starts to dwindle and fall beckons the talk amongst the vegan food blogs turns to comfort food. Just that phrase, comfort food, makes me lean back and heave a great, rapturous sigh. I instantly begin thinking about creamy mashed potatoes, rich bowls of macaroni and no cheese, fried sambusa laden with [...]
A Doggie Dawdle Kind of Life with a Side of Raw Vegan Cheddar
by Tasha on January 26, 2010 in Uncategorized
Sometimes my whole life feels a bit like a doggie dawdle. Loud and noisy chaos, interspersed with lots of laughter, and some stressful moments where you think you might get peed on, but at the end of the day if my belly is full and I’m with my family, I’m happy. Now, I’ve told you [...]
Miso Soup for the Vegan Soul
by Tasha on January 6, 2010 in Asian, Beans, Dinners, Soups
Brrr! It is finally starting to get cold here and we are loving it! At night it drops down into the 40s and 50s and during the day it is brisk and sunny and usually in the 70s. Winter here in Saudi Arabia is glorious and we have been spending as much time as possible [...]
Sticky Fingers Gingerbread
by Tasha on December 21, 2009 in Baked Goods, Desserts, Uncategorized
Gingerbread is one of my very favorite desserts, and this is definitely the best batch I’ve ever made. It is decadently moist and rich, luscious and spicy, with just enough sweetness to keep you going back into the kitchen for slice after slice. The flavors are incredibly dark and complex, the kind of dessert that [...]
Snowy White Chocolate Cupcakes
by Tasha on December 8, 2009 in Chocolate, Desserts, Holidays
“Let is snow, let is snow, let it snow!” I love that song but the sentiment is pretty far fetched here in Saudi Arabia. Luckily, I have found an even more enjoyable way to enjoy the snow – in the form of snowy drifts of white chocolate crumbles topping white chocolate infused vanilla cupcakes. These [...]
Raw Double Fudge Brownies
by Tasha on December 1, 2009 in Chocolate, Desserts, Raw
These dense, fudgey, over the top chocolaty brownies have been specifically designed to convince even the most die hard dessert lovers that raw treats can be just as indulgent and decadent as the standard sugar laden, over processed, nutritionally void fare we all munch on. These brownies have two epically delicious layers. The bottom layer [...]
Fire Roasted Red Pepper & Smoky Black Bean Soup with Chili Lime Croutons
by Tasha on November 24, 2009 in Beans, Dinners, Holidays, Soups
The weather has finally gotten wintry here, with chilly breezes and nighttime temperatures in the 60s and 70s. We even had a bit of a drizzle the other day, the first of the season! Of course, other than that one cloud it has been clear skies and sunshine as usual. But with the sweater weather [...]
Raw Pumpkin Pie Balls and Raw Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls!
by Tasha on November 22, 2009 in Chocolate, Desserts, Holidays, Pumpkin, Raw
I wanted to title this post A Tale of Two Balls but I suppressed my inner 13 year old, aren’t you glad? I love dessert and I definitely have a sweet tooth, my favorite treat is chocolate! I go through bricks of that stuff a day just to satisfy my cravings. Unfortunately I’m also really [...]
