Tahini Lemon Rice and Beans

Dinner last night was a delicious rice dish from the new book Vegan Yum Yum by Lauren Ulm.  We bought the book a few days ago and have already made two dishes, this and the tomato chickpea soup (also delicious!).  The Tahini Lemon Rice and Beans was easy to make, very yummy, and full of veggie goodness.  It has a really interesting tangy [...]

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Holy crap this stuff is delicious!  Last Tuesday at my knitting group, someone brought a loaf of chocolate zucchini bread that smelled heavenly.  It wasn’t vegan though so I didn’t get to try any, but she told me where she got the recipe so I could make some of my own.  The recipe is from [...]

Tofu Again!

 
Dinner tonight was pretty simple, Shane made mashed potatoes and cauliflower and I marinated and then baked some sliced tofu.  The mashed potatoes came out really good, it’s a veganized Weight Watchers recipe and we’ll definitely be making them again.  The tofu was yummy too, I just threw together a quick dijon mustard based marinade, [...]

Indian-ish Tofu and Spinach

Dinner last night was Indian-ish tofu and spinach, the “ish” part has to be said because when it comes to Indian food I’m somewhat clueless.  I spent many years hating it (and I still can’t handle it if I can taste even a hint of cloves) but I’ve been giving it a try over the [...]

Muffin Quest

 
Muffin Quest, the eternal search for the perfect blueberry muffin.  Every once in a while, I loves me a good muffin, and that good muffin is usually blueberry.  But I haven’t really found a recipe that I love yet, not that I haven’t tried many of them.  Last night I made two batches, first I [...]

Brown Rice Sushi

There are few things tastier than a lovely plate of vegan sushi.  I decided that I wanted something yummy for lunch today (I can’t face leftovers again) so we headed down to Lunds and picked up a pack of brown rice vegan sushi.  Of course, homemade is always best, but as far as supermarket sushi [...]

Say It With Cupcakes

 
Yesterday at my knitting group we had a little going away party for one of the ladies who is leaving us for a job in Indiana.  So of course I had to bring cupcakes!  This is probably the fourth time I’ve brought cupcakes to my knitting group and they always go over really well which [...]

So why does John hop anyway?

Way back in March,  I gave Kala a copy of the Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry, and at long last we made something from it.  The dish of the day:  Creole Hoppin’ John and to add a little green I improvised a spicy sauteed spinach. For the uninitiated Hoppin John is spicy black-eyed peas [...]

We gotta fritatta

This week when we went about planning meals for the week I wanted  to make something from one of the new cookbooks that have been coming out.  We opted for the Fritatta  from Vegan Brunch by Isa Moskowitz.  Since I can never leave good enough alone I replaced the chard the recipe called for with [...]
