Curry Burger

Well recipe contest season is upon us and I am starting to work on a few recipes for submission to various contests. A couple of days ago I did a curry burger and here is the pornographic evidence. I won’t get too specific as to what’s in it but there are chickpeas potatoes and grains. [...]

Blueberry Cheesecake

 
Vegan cheesecake goodness!  This is the first recipe I’ve tried from My Sweet Vegan and it’s brilliant.  The only change I made was that I left out the brown rice syrup because we didn’t have any and I don’t think it’s something we’d use much.  The recipe calls for jam as a topping and I used some [...]

Black and Blue Smoothie

This is my standard go-to smoothie recipe and it’s super easy, just like a smoothie should be.
 

 
Black and Blue Smoothie
 
Ingredients:

1/2 cup frozen blackberries, rinsed
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, rinsed
1 cup soymilk (I use Silk Vanilla Light)
1/2 cup soy yogurt (I use Whole Soy and Company because it’s good and doesn’t try to kill me with traces of [...]

Cookies – The 5th Food Group

 
Really, life without cookies just aint worth livin’.  I’ve been known to skip a meal, usually lunch, just so I can fit some more cookies into my day.  I made these last night, they have chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut.  They’re a modified version of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies from Soy, Not Oi! , a [...]

Chipotle Glazed Black Bean Burgers

 
Tasty, but not quite perfect yet.  Vegan burgers are a harsh mistress and this was no exception, they were a bit too delicate and quick to fall apart.  But this was my first go at a black bean burger so I’m optimistic about next time.

The Lazy Vegan – Buffalo Wings

 
Sometimes you just need something quick and easy for lunch (or dinner) that you can just throw in the microwave or oven and not have to fuss over.  Today was one of those days.  After working in the dirt patch in the front of the apartment that will become a little garden, I wanted me [...]

Sushi Time

I introduced Kala to sushi fairly early on in our relationship, I was a little nervous at first but now its a frequent visitor to our table. Although not as pretty as professional sushi its always tasty. Typically we do a cucumber roll and a spicy tempeh roll often with a a few variations [...]

Two Bean Salad

 
Maybe if I make food that’s Spring/Summer appropriate, the weather will cooperate.  Ok, probably not but I had a weird desire to making something with black eyed peas so I came up with this simple little bean salad.  It may be snowing outside (it’s mid-April, this is so wrong!) but dinner was totally picnic worthy.

Mock Muffeleta

 
 
Since Shane and I are going to see Jesse Malin tonight (squee!) we decided to have food delivered for dinner.  One of our favorites is the Mock Muffeleta from Pizza Luce.  BBQ sauce, olives, peppers, tomato, mock duck, what’s not to love?

Simply Vegan, my first cookbook.

I am a cookbook whore, no denying it, I like them even if I never make something from it I can steal ideas, or just look at pretty pictures. That said, I have decided to make my first post a review of the first vegan cookbook I ever purchased, its also the first cookbook [...]
