One of the best things about this time of year is–of course–the food. In the last few weeks, I have scarfed down a variety of vegan delicacies like pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie, maple pecan pie bars, apple cinnamon rolls, date nut muffins, and Ben & Jerry’s caramel almond brittle vegan ice cream (SO yum!). People,…
Vegan Tofu Egg Salad Sandwiches
When I was a kid, my absolute favorite lunch was fried tofu sandwiches–which basically consisted of scrambled tofu (kind of like the version used in these breakfast burritos), a homemade vegan mayonnaise (my dad made a variety from potato flour back then, because, hello, there was no such thing as store-bought vegan mayo in the…
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…

Crazy Good Vegan Creamy Salad Dressing

Vegan Creamy Basil Salad Dressing
We’re still in January, folks, and technically there are still some people who are attempting to fulfill a resolution to eat salad everyday for a year. Sadly, I’m not one of those people. It’s not that I don’t love salad, I do. I just don’t eat it very much. So why don’t I eat it…
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
If you know me well, you know that I love a good tabbouleh salad (and most other mediterranean foods). So, yesterday, as I was dreaming of eating tabbouleh for lunch, I made a most horrifying discovery. I had no bulgar wheat…and no red bell pepper. My disappointment almost drove me to pour myself a bowl…
