Just one Busy Vegetarian Mom working on transitioning to a Vegetarian lifestyle for myself and my family. I am recording what I learn here along the way. You can also find me writing at Daily Dish Magazine and Inner Child Food.
Inspired – Coconut Limeade Slushie
I love browsing the recipes at Foodie Friends Friday. So many of them are actually healthy vegetarian recipes, even if that’s never what the writer intended! One of the recipes I found recently that inspires me is from Give Peas a Chance. From the blog name, you can guess that you might find more healthy recipes over there. This recipe for a Coconut Limeade Slushie caught my eye right away. I love that combination of subtle sweet coconut with a punch of bold lime. It’s a twist I love on a Pina...

read moreHealthier Chocolate Truffle Recipe
I have become obsessed with ideas on things to make with coconut oil. The stuff is amazing and can be used in so many ways! So the other day, my sister comes home with these coconut covered date things she got at a food co-op while they were out of town. They looked a bit unappetizing but they assured me they were super delicious so I tried it and YUM! My mind immediately went to how I can make them and make them better. The final product…. a healthier chocolate truffle. This recipe is actually a take...
read moreSimple Vegan TVP Tacos
What can you feed the meat eaters when they come to visit but stick to your diet? Easy! Try simple vegan TVP tacos. Never had TVP (textured vegetable protein)? Well it is a dehydrated soy product that you can find in different flavors including chicken, sausage and beef. For this recipe, if you can use plain, unseasoned TVP as it tends to pick up flavor in what you rehydrate it in, so the taco seasoning does more than a good enough job. This is actually a lot faster than cooking with real beef as it...

On a recent trip to Seattle, I just happen to stumble upon VegFest 2013. I had never been to one, so I thought I for sure needed to get up and see it. Little did I know, this little gathering is very popular here in Seattle and I had to wait in a very long line to get in despite showing up 15 minutes before the door opened!

If you have little kids, then you might be aware of how funny these name games can be that you find on Facebook. We recently had a lot of fun finding our “rapper names” and “leprechaun names” and that inspired my daughther (age 7) to make her own “Find your Name” game. ”Find your Easter Bunny Name”. Of course, she saved her favorite names for HER letters! So if your first name starts with “A” and last name “I” – then consider yourself to be...

My kids both have summer birthdays and I find it extremely difficult to arrange not one, but two parties over the summer where we will be in town AND all their friends will be in town. So this year, after both attended friends party and started dreaming of their next party which in reality probably wouldn’t happen, I decided to throw them a “half-birthday” party. My youngest daughter was turning 7 1/2 in just a few weeks AND it was on a weekend. Perfect! They were so excited to start the planning. Luckily, my kids like...
