Zesty Vegan Spring Lasagna with cashew ricotta
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 Vegan Ginger Scented Curry Soup
This week has been a doozy for us here at GourGanics. We lost a good family friend and Sarah for one, is feeling run down (headache and runny nose) and generally sad and bummed out. We all get that way. But what to do? One of the best ways to chase the sniffles away and…

Wild Caught Fish Fillets with Fennel and Spicy GourGanics Salsa

GourGanics Spicy Poached Salmon
Last night we had the most delicious spicy poached salmon. Here’s the deal, I have a “nose” issue when it comes to cooking fish indoors. This recipe calls for high quality fish that is a little expensive, but it can be prepared in 10 minutes or less, and it doesn’t stink up the house the…
