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…
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…
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…
Easy 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…
Vegan 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 Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
This vegan roasted vegetable lasagna is one of my favorites. AND, the garlic is the star of the show. In honor of Jonathan, the most wonderful garlic addict of a husband in the world, I haphazardly tossed 2 cloves of garlic into the veggies to be roasted for this lasagna. It smelled heavenly and tasted…
Tofu Pecan Balls with Sweet and Sour Sauce
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….
