I love spring. I always feel such a sense of renewal and with every burst of a new bud on a tree, a little something like hope or joy bursts in me. I am feeling optimistic and ready for a wonderful season. I always try to do a vegan cleanse in the spring, just to…
GourGanics Spicy Vegetarian Spanakopadillas
What a crazy idea we came up with here in Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Traditional Greek spanakopita meets the traditional quesadilla. The result is a non-traditional creation that spinach lovers, cheese lovers, and tortilla lovers will adore. The two cultures unite and take over in this crazy MEXIGREEK fusion dish that tastes nothing short of AMAZING! Here’s…
GourGanics very-spicy-slightly-misogynistic eggplant tapanade
With apologies to Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan! I made some homemade tapanade yesterday based on a recipe I found on the Gluten-free goddess Website. And I thought it was missing a little flavor but I loved the consistency and texture. So I tossed in a half of a jar of our local GourGanics USDA…
Lobster with Angel Hair, Lemon and Spicy GourGanics
We are on Cape Cod enjoying an amazing week of good weather, food and family time. We ordered up three (3 lb) select lobsters, steamed and cracked and ate our fill with my Mom, Memere. Nobody can get more meat out of a lobster than Mem. So after we ate, she and I picked the…
Gluten-free GourGanics Tofu Stroganoff
My mom used to make Beef Stroganoff with mushrooms, chunks of beef and sour cream, and serve it over white egg noodles. It was divine. I don’t eat much beef these days–and when I do it’s really high quality Grass Fed. So I once modified Mom’s recipe into chicken stroganoff using juicy chicken thighs. Believe it or not, tofu stroganoff makes…
GourGanics Spicy Curried Tofu Kati Rolls (gluten-free)
A Kati Roll is to Indian cuisine what the burrito is to Mexican. So we figured, why not make a Kati roll using GourGanics spicy alongside the curry to create a vegetarian roll that tastes like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. Hot, sweet, a little spicy. Crisp and crunchy from charred red onions. Try this…

It’s hot hot hot here in good old Fairfield Ct. We wanted to make a simple pasta salad that we can serve cold and dine on all weekend long. Our favorite thing about pasta salads is the versatility of this dish. It’s great as a main dish after gardening on a hot day, and it…
Spicy Vegan Stirfry Stew
Many of the people who love GourGanics are vegan. I love to eat clean and do it often. Tonight we made the most delicious stew using wonderful tofu made right here in Middleton Ct by The Bridge. It’s got a creamy texture yet it’s firm enough to cook up and stand out in a crowd…
Gourganics Savory Banana Fritters or Tortitas de pla’tano
Who doesn’t love a good fritter? I accidentally bought too many ripe bananas one day. I was able to grab this recipe from Larousse Mexican Cookbook by Sue Style. I adapted her fine recipe to our family taste and added GourGanics as a dipping sauce. So fun, strange and yummy for my Gringo family palate!…
Creamy & Delicious Mexican Ziti
Tonight’s dinner is a vegetarian delight that simply satisfies. It serves my family of four and takes around 15 minutes to make.We all cleaned the plates tonight, and there was a little left over for tomorrow’s lunch. This is true comfort food, creamy, rich and zesty. The GourGanics cut the rich ricotta and gave it…
