Vegan Cinnamon Curry Quinoa Burgers with Gluten-free Burger “Buns”

It’s rare that I make a recipe more than once or twice. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the things I make, I just enjoy the thrill of experimenting with new recipes far more than relying on the tried and true. Call me risky. Since as far back as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed trying…

The Meat Controversy

The Meat Controversy

I think it has to be said before I get into this topic that I was vegetarian for 5 years and a vegan for 4. I have nothing against vegan or vegetarian diets and fully support the choice to go cruelty-free. If done healthfully, and if right for your body, I commend those who are…
