It’s time for something not-so-healthy, but vegan, of course. Woops. I’m sorry. Just showing you that picture probably just ruined your diet plans for the week–at least it did for me. Only I’m not on a diet–yet–because I’m pregnant. :) I just found out today that at almost 28 weeks, I’ve already gained all the…
Vegan Carob Chip Cookies
Guess what?!?! Yesterday was the first day of spring!! You have no idea how much joy I have in announcing that. This winter has been long. Too long. There’s so much about spring that I love: gardens, short sleeves, flip flops, green grass, flowers, and fresh produce. One thing I’m especially looking forward to (and…
Easy One-Pot Minestrone Soup
Spring is springing (finally!) in the hills of Tennessee, and I couldn’t be happier. But, there’s something about springtime that also makes me just a little bit sad. I live in a second-story apartment with a teensy closet-sized patio, so there really isn’t room for much gardening. My husband and I seem to be really…
Sweet Sesame Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Tofu
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…
Apple Spice Muffins with Maple Glaze
It’s been a long time, ya’all. Too long. How’ve you been?? I feel like this conversation should be taking place over O.J. and a vegan pastry–or, in the produce aisle of the grocery store (where people I haven’t seen in awhile always tend to find me on my I-don’t-feel-like-doing-my-hair and I-hope-I don’t-see-anyone-I-know days). Really though,…
