Citrus Carrot Tofu Scramble. Cafe Eats at Home.

This Rustic Citrus Tofu Scramble is studded with gold and yellow carrots -roughly chopped. Citrus accents throughout. A hint of pepper. Nutritional yeast. A splash of sassy tamari. The sweetness of the cooked carrots (oozing with vitamin A) compliments the savory flavors perfectly. Crispy tater tots on the side. Fresh orange slices. Spicy salsa. Avocado slices. This would be quite a lovely plate of food served up at home.Cafe style.

Sometimes I wish I had my own restaurant. Or a food truck. I'd love my very own tiny beachside cafe. Probably not actually my next career move, but who knows, maybe someday. And it is at least a fun daydream to have. What would your perfect little cafe look like?

Quickie Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream at Home.

Creamy vanilla coconut ice cream swirls and twists with tender cubes of vegan cookie dough. Sweet, melty and creamy, just like you remember it.

It is easy to whip up vegan cookie dough ice cream using a few products from the store. Really, this recipe couldn't get any easier. But I had to make it to satisfy a craving. The kind of craving where I saw something and said "I have to have that!" A photo, a smell, a story - all these things can set off a craving. Here's how I easily satisfied mine..

Baked Vegan Spinach Dip. Kraut, Onion, Truffle.

Winter is the season for dips. Baked dips, bubbly hot served in oven-hot bowls. Steaming. Just begging to be scooped up with some crisp veggie sticks of nubbins of crusty bread. Maybe it is the chill in the air. Maybe it is the plentiful TV shows to cuddle up and watch. And yes, sports-fest style gatherings. OK, I'm not really a football watcher. But I'm making this anyways...
