Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

 
It may be winter and crazy cold here in Minnesota, but it’s always time for ice cream!  Especially blueberry cheesecake ice cream from A Vegan Ice Cream Paradise.  It’s a great recipe, the only things I do different are that I use light soy milk instead of creamer and I use cornstarch instead of arrowroot.  [...]

Fajitas

 
Mmmm, breakfast fajitas.  Although when your first meal is at one in the afternoon, can you still call it breakfast?  Anywho, today’s first meal was leftover fajitas from last night’s dinner.  Very simple, just a bunch of veggies (bell pepper, onion, zucchini, mushrooms) sauteed with spices until they’re all caramelized and perfect.  We usually throw some mock duck [...]

Tuscan Vegetable Chowder

More soup!  Since the weather is still oppressive and horrible in Minnesota (how sad is it that it’s 17 out right not and that’s crazy warm compared to the last few days?) there has been quite a bit of soup and stew making around here.  Last night was Tuscan Vegetable Chowder, it’s a Weight Watchersrecipe [...]

Lentil soup for a cold winter day.

I have been making my lentil soup for quite a few years, there is no recipe exactly, it’s sort of a throw everything in a pot and adjust it as you go. It’s a favorite of mine when I am sick or it’s bitterly cold out.
The ingredient list runs down as follows:

about a cup and [...]

BBQ Mock Duck

 
For lunch the other day, I whipped up a quick batch of spicy BBQ Mock Duck.  It’s super easy to make and really yummy, I even made it for our wedding (although it was much much less spicy than when I make it for myself).  I usually have it in a whole wheat tortilla, but [...]

Banana Bread

Banana bread is a beautiful thing, you get to use super ripe bananas that you would otherwise throw away and turn them into something delicious.  Shane’s had a favorite recipe that he’s used for years so that’s the one I use too, it’s in the book The Compassionate Cook.  It’s a crazy simple recipe that comes together in no time [...]

Chocolate Chip Waffles w/Blueberry Sauce

 
Mmmmm, waffles!  Last night, Shane and I made a big batch of waffles and froze them so we’d have a stash, it’s something I used to do all the time before I met Shane.  I used my favorite waffle recipe, Isa’s Lemon Corn Waffles.  They’re yummy but not overly sweet.  I leave out the lemon stuff though [...]
