When we moved to the boonies of rural Maine a few years ago, one of the things that I really missed was easy access to some of my favorite vegan food products. I loved the texture of Tofutti better than sour cream, and mourned that I could no longer easily purchase it. I missed the…
Vegan Mushroom Chili
Hungry for chili? For the last few months, I’ve been trying to incorporate more whole food, plant-based ingredients into my cooking. Now people, I already cook plant-based, vegan meals–for practically every meal. But let’s face it. I love vegan junk food–processed vegan meats, cheeses, and pastries are my absolute fav. BUT sometimes, all those delicious…
Vegan Creamy Wild Rice Soup
Today in the frigid north, we’re making soup. Vegan creamy wild rice soup with mushrooms, kale, and sweet potatoes. I know it’s officially spring. But in the far north, “spring” is still a figment of the imagination. There’s plenty of snow on the ground (in fact it’s snowing as I speak), and frankly, we’re all…
Cranberry Pecan Kale Salad with Marinated Tofu
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 Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Have you ever been invited to a holiday potluck or party at work or school and wondered what to bring? Unless you are a writer for VegNews, a caretaker at a rescue farm, or a chef at a vegan diner in San Francisco, chances are that you will be surrounded by turkey roast, buttery mashed…
Vegan Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is (of course) food. Obviously. There’s just something about creamy carbalicious mashed potatoes that gives me all the feels of the holiday season–even when I eat them in July. While my control-freak self usually takes over all the menu planning, cooking, and baking, there are a…
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…
Vegan Lemon Zucchini Muffins
I’m back again! A LOT has happened since we last chatted–and seeing that it’s been nearly a year since my last post (whoops), this is to be expected. I’ve worked part-time in health care, bought a house, given birth to a third little girl (Baby G) 2 weeks ago, and a bunch of other stuff…
