As a New Yorker, Italian food is a staple of my diet. I mean, so is Chinese food and Indian food and Caribbean food and Mexican food and Egyptian food and...well, you probably get it. One of my favorite ways to eat pasta more

If you live in Queens or Nassau County, make your way to an Iavarone Bros gourmet grocery store and implore them to make their vegan sweet chili tofu a staple on their menu. While this store caters to lovers of meat, cheese more

Many plant-based eaters truly do miss the taste and texture of meat and don’t live in a utopia where asparagus and broccoli taste like candy. I wish I could transport myself to that magical realm. Until that happens, I‘ll more

Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers are taking over. And while those are great for an indulgence, traditional plant-based burgers, whether soy-based or vegetable-based, definitely win the contest for nutrition. You can easily more

Me: “Hmm, I should eat salad once in a while.” Also me: “You know what would go great in a salad? Buffalo chick’n and ranch dressing!” These soy nuggets from Whole Foods (from their refrigerated section across from the salad more

I’m not sure if my love of sandwiches can be rivaled. And turkey sandwiches were one of my favorite comfort foods. I’m usually pretty wary of vegan lunch meats, but these are perfectly spiced and taste really exceptional more

Living in NYC, you’re tempted by the unhealthiest foods on every corner. Our famous “dirty water dogs” could never be replicated, but for a simple, quick and flavorful plant-based version to make at home, Lightlife’s Smart more

One day, vegan butter alternatives will figure out than palm oil isn’t necessary and we’ll breathe a sigh of relief for the environment and all those exploited in the production of palm oil...but that’s not the point of more

Rao’s Homemade produces sauce that nonna would be proud of. This is the closest thing to homemade you’ll find in a jar at a supermarket. Albeit pricey ($8 per jar near me), this spicy tomato elixir is worth it. Sometimes, more

Frankly, you’ll never really feel like you’re indulging in ice cream when eating these. They remind me those “skinny” ice cream sandwiches my grandma used to buy in the ‘90s. (There are just some things that should’ve died more
