I decided to switch to another blog site.

Mock lunch "meats" are not bad. I do not think they taste like what they say they taste like per se, but they are a nice alternative when you are craving something hearty to bite in to on a sandwich. Our favorite brand is Yves, just be sure to read the labels since some products have eggs. I love the "ham" and "salami" mock meats and Jared digs the ( Read more... )

Tonight I am making either thai red curry or thai peanut curry tofu . . . usually this is a last minute decision with the addition of natural peanut butter to a red curry sauce. As a side, I decided to make spring rolls. I like to test things out before making it for Jared, just in case it sucks ( Read more... )

I decided the pinto bean is by far my favorite bean. It has a creaminess that can't be matched. Tonight I made this easy pinto dish by sweating some sweet onions until very soft. I added fresh parsley, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and chipotle pepper and a can of pinto beans to the onions. After everything cooked together for a bit, I ( Read more... )

We got some hickory smoked tempeh strips so we made mock BLTs. Our version has the crispy tempeh strips on toasted oat bread with Vegenaise slathered on both sides with tomato, thinly sliced onion (we used red onion) and lettuce (we had red boston lettuce). This actually tasted like a BLT. I think I like these tempeh strips better than ones I have ( Read more... )

I made another batch of my tomato sauce today. We got fresh basil from the farmers market today and I added a ton of it in the sauce this time around. I boiled up some penne rigate to go with the star of the plate tonight: Fried Eggplant! For the eggplant coating I made a flour mixture that had 2 parts unbleached white flour, 1 part corn starch, 1 ( Read more... )

Yesterday I checked out all my favorite vegan food blogs and everyone did some kind of pie. I decided to make a peach galette type pastry last night since we had some awesome peaches laying around. I made a basic pie crust with flour, Earth Balance "buttery"sticks, sea salt, sugar and ice water. I then made the peach filling by cooking the peaches ( Read more... )

Jared and I played tennis this morning (of course) and lazed around the apartment watching movies. I took a nice American nap and Jared made us some of his delicious fried potatoes and onions for an early dinner tonight. His potatoes and onions are seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne, celery flakes and cinnamon. He had his with a veggie ( Read more... )

This is one of our favorite things to eat and something we have made several times. Jared got off early today and so after we played tennis I made this wonderful chowder. The basic recipe idea came out of Sarah Kramer's book La Dolce Vegan!: Vegan Livin' Made Easy but I of course modified it a bit. I sauteed leeks (white and light green parts only ( Read more... )

I love chai tea. I love it ice cold. I learned how to make this delicious drink probably 8 years ago from one of my best friend's partner and I have been making it ever since. Since it is traditionally made with cow's milk and honey, I had to veganize it which was very simple ( Read more... )
