Mexico City or CDMX is a hot spot now! Every other weekend, I know someone new visiting there! Why? My assumption is the proximity to America, frequent & direct flights, short flight time, favorable USD to Peso conversion, and most importantly a potential, disastrous and silly looming wall to be built [rolls eyes]. I visited …

I’ve said this a couple of times over the past week, but I love using the Holiday time to create new vegetarian/vegan recipes.

Vegan Mac and Cheese (Indian Spiced, Protein Packed!)

I don’t think there’s an American classic that I like better than good ole’ Mac and Cheese. Well, corn bread is a close second.

I’ve been eating alternative pastas for several months now. They are SO good! I love that you get the feel and taste of eating pasta, but it’s actually packed with protein and is good for you! I’ve tried several brands at this point of varying price points, and I must say Banza is still my …
