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 “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…
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…
Tofu Quinoa Patties
I don’t know what it is about sandwiches, but I love ’em. Back when I worked long hours at the hospital, Jonathan made the most amazing sandwiches to go in our lunches. Knowing that I would soon sink my fangs into a big juicy sandwich like this is what kept me going. (By the way,…
Vegan Nacho Cheese
My big sister came to visit from California this week. This may be no big news to you, but really, you should be excited. Yep. My sister Megan brought with her one of the best vegan “cheese” recipes known to man. I can say that with confidence, because Megan is a busy medical student, and…

Happy Monday! I’m super excited to share with you my new favorite vegan “meat”ball recipe and one of my absolute favorite vegan cookbooks. First, the “meatballs.” What I love about these meatballs (which, by the way, are adapted from the 7 Secrets Cookbook) is that they are easy to make, essentially oil-free, and downright delicious….
Spinach Avocado Stuffed Portobellos
The other day, as I was searching the web for good food ideas (who doesn’t??), I recruited the help of some of you on facebook for Valentine’s Day menu options. One of you, Stephanie, suggested stuffed portobello mushrooms (Thanks, Stephanie!!). I really don’t think I’ve ever eaten stuffed portobello mushrooms, but it sounded tasty…
Fresh Spring Rolls with Tofu
I hate chopping vegetables. I love to eat vegetables, just hate prepping them–washing, peeling, slicing, seeding, dicing–all of it. I hate it. Always have, and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I worked in the cafeteria at my small Christian boarding academy during high school. One year, we had to sort, wash, and de-worm loads…
