Ok. I must confess that I don’t cook ALL my food from scratch. Sometimes I embellish a basic prepared dish to liven it up and make it a little healthier. I’m sure there are a lot of great, fairly easy pad Thai noodle recipes to create the sauce from scratch, but I don’t often have [...]

This Memorial Day is another Meatless Monday for this green diva! Here’s one yummy tempeh salad recipe I’ll be making! I made this one up last summer and it has quickly become a family favorite.

Meatless Monday: Delicious Curry Vinaigrette Recipe

Green Diva Megs Curry Vinaigrette recipe

Since I was a kid, I’ve been a sucker for a big veggie salad as a meal. I stumbled upon a curry vinaigrette back when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I craved it and used to make my poor husband run down to this little cafe and get me a salad with this [...]

Yes, that is an image of Ringo Starr (drummer for the Beatles in case you live under a rock) on my designated detox smoothie glass. Although he looks a little glum about it all, somehow his presence on my glass makes this a much more entertaining experience. I was told by more than one trusted [...]

I was sitting at my desk last week staring at my tea cup, which is ALWAYS full of some form of earl grey tea during the daylight hours. My love of this tea goes back far enough that I’m not really sure when I became hopelessly hooked, but it was probably my summer in England [...]

More Meatless Monday Recipes: Easy Healthy Crunchy Salad

I’m having fun documenting Meatless Monday recipes these days! I made up this yummy, marinated salad years ago with whatever I had in the refrigerator that particular day, and it worked so well that I now try to make it on a fairly regular basis. My carnivore-turned-vegan husband LOVES this salad and can’t get enough [...]

Another Meatless Monday: Green Diva Goddess Roasted Veggies

Green Diva Meg's Roasted Veggies, Chickpeas and Goddess Sauce

All my days are meatless now, but I thought I’d jump on the Meatless Monday thing since it is a really great idea. My husband is still a reluctant vegan, so I’m always in search of good transitional meals that satisfy his belly and taste buds. Yesterday, while perusing Pinterest (endless eye candy), I came [...]
