Lentils are good for you. They’re one of the cheapest sources of high quality plant protein. They cook quickly. And…how I wish I liked them. I mean, they’re OK. I’m not against eating them once or twice a month. But more than that and I start to gag at the thought of those slightly musty, [...]

The [mostly] vegan caramel apple taste test
(The lack of pictures is due to the fact that we ate everything.) It’s apple season. After the tired, limp apples of summer, an apple with firm, pale green flesh that snaps back when you bite is actually kind of magical.
