I have a confession to make. (Seems like I’ve had a lot of veggie confessions lately…sigh.) Anyhoo, confession: I don’t always love brussels sprouts. Sometimes, I’ll try some that basically have no bitterness at all, and they’re just delicious. Other times, I find some that aren’t so yummy. But for the sake of this bloggity…
Burmese Chickpea Tofu “Egg” Salad
I tried something new this week. Burmese chickpea tofu. It looks like this: And you can find a recipe for it here. It isn’t a soy-based tofu, but for this recipe, that’s a good thing. If you’ve ever had a soy-based tofu “egg” salad sandwich, you know what I mean. The texture–it just isn’t quite…
Vegan Sweet Potato Chili
So, lunch, people. I’ve been obsessed with finding half-decent vegan lunch ideas lately. For some reason, I think vegan lunch menus are especially difficult to come up with–maybe because lunch for the working/schooling population has to be quick, packable, and nutritionally dense (especially if you’re like my husband–6’5″ and frequently only gets a few minutes…
Tofu and Shiitake Stir-Fry with Vegetables
A few weeks ago, while scouring the web for menu ideas, I came across this recipe, from the Vegetarian Times for bok-choy and shiitake stir-fry. Have you ever bought bok choy in a regular ol’ grocery store? Well, yeah. Bok choy is like ridiculously expensive–we’re talkin’ $7 for one little head. (News flash! I don’t…
Easy Vegan Chicken Salad
Guess what? Today is my first post for the Vegan Month of Food 2013! I know…I’m a few days late. Life has been….crazy. That’s my excuse. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, planning, more thinking and planning, and job hunting. Yep. I’m likely going to be picking up a part-time job as nurse…
Vegetable Chimichangas
When it comes to vegan food/non-traditional eating, community is so so so important. We need each other–to learn from and encourage each other. There are SO many people from whom I’ve learned and gained inspiration when it comes to vegan food. This time, I have my friend Rebecca to thank for inspiring this recipe. She…
Crazy Veggie Burgers
This week has been an exciting one. First, I finally posted my caramel apple pull-apart bread, after unexpectedly taking a week (or more? :p ) off for family vacation. Then, I landed my first little work-from-home job (besides this blog). It’s not a big, in-your-face, making-6-digits (far from it, actually) kind of job, but it’s…
Vegan Creamy Potato Soup
Sometimes writing about food is not easy. Okay, writing about food is almost never easy for me. The question spinning around in my head right now (which is pretty typical for me) is this: “What on earth do I say about this vegan potato soup???!!!!” The question starts as a soft and quiet whisper from…
