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,…
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Scones
One year ago, I was twiddling away on my computer while nursing my baby girl. She was so tiny then–only a few months old. I had an epiphany. I needed to do something–from home–to keep me busy, to give me purpose, and to motivate me. Vegan Yumminess was born that very night. It’s been an…
Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
It’s been a long week, and it’s time for some–you guessed it–cinnamon rolls. I’ve always been a bit of a home-body. I love traveling every once in awhile–meeting new people, seeing new things. I like it. But, I feel safest and happiest when I’m curled up on my own couch in my own living room…
Banana Walnut Muffins Revisited
Brown speckly bananas mean just one thing in this house: Muffins. Several months ago, not long after Vegan Yumminess was born, I posted one of my absolute favorite banana muffin recipes. The only problem? They were full of vegan margarine and sugar. While, I’m cool with a little treat every now and again, I also…
