No, it isn’t cheese…even though it kind of looks like it. Instead, it’s a creamy, flavorful alternative to the dairy stuff that will leave you richly satisfied in your decision to leave the cows alone. I always feel bad when a non-vegan tastes vegan “cheese” for the first time. Like, how can this stuff be…
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…
Simple Lentil Soup Revisited + Photography Progress
Over the last few months, as I have learned more about food photography, I have attempted to go back and take new pictures of some of my very first posts here on Vegan Yumminess. The whole process has been both humbling and hilarious. It’s been humbling, because I still have SO much to learn. Hilarious,…
Asian-style Broccoli Cucumber Salad
You guys, it’s terrible. I haven’t posted in an entire week. Because of an odd cocktail of reasons, including (but not limited to) Jonathan’s crazy clinical schedules, a certain very active toddler, my job hunt, and the weather (for lighting/photography purposes), I have found less than ideal amounts of time each day to devote to…
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…
Lentil Lettuce Tacos
Is it just me, or is there something crazily addicting about lettuce? I’m not talking about just any lettuce. I mean the crunchy, crispy, almost sweet, makes-you-feel-amazing, and maybe-it’s-Romaine lettuce. If your name is Jonathan (a.k.a. Hubby), your lettuce addiction drives you to raid the fridge after a meal, just so you can stuff a…
