Although I know all Italian grandmothers shun at the thought of using soy to make meatballs, I can’t help it. I miss my Italian food. I had to. Before I went Veg, turkey meatballs was one of my go-to meals because it was a.) cheap b.) filling and c.) yummy. Using soy is much healthier […]
Following up to one of the first blog posts ever done on Little Green Things, I have not been able to stop wanting to own prints by my favorite artist, Yellena James. However, as a graduate student, I am not exactly made of money…(sad face). Even though I am of the ripe old age of […]
Huevos Rancheros are not only fun to say in your best spanish accent but also a tasty and hearty idea for a vegetarian breakfast. As a veg, it is essential to include protein in your diet since you have nixed meat. Beans, seeds and nuts are the main source of many of the protein I […]
French toast = the eggy bread goodness that makes breakfast absolutely awesome. When you go veg in the south, you may notice your breakfast options are limited – no biscuits and gravy, no eggs benedict, no sausage, no bacon and egg biscuits, no steak and eggs.

And indeed, […]
Call them what you will – Jack-O-Lanterns, Cinderella’s mode of transportation, Charlie Browns #1 film. Pumpkins, the large orange veggie that we oftentimes forget is more than just a fall decoration, are in season and waiting to be eaten. The craving for a home cooked meal came over me and I transitioned into domestic goddess […]
It’s that time of the year again! The leaves – they are a-fallin’, and the air is getting a bit chilly. I made this soup once before over the summer and thought “Wow I can’t wait to make this in fall when it’s not 100 degrees out.” (I live in Florida). And yes it was […]
I channeled my inner Paula Deen last weekend. Except this Paula Deen was much healthier and used natural ingredients and lighter options. If you like bananas and dark chocolate, then you will love these pancakes.
