I’m staying in for New Year’s Eve this year and I couldn’t be happier about it. I picked up some more Dr. Cow cashew cheese to bring to a New Year’s Day party tomorrow and we’ll see how the omni foodies like it. Side effect of going to a cool health food store in theContinue reading “New Year’s Eve – from the couch”

I got three pairs of vegan work/walk to work shoes for a total of $42.98 at payless. That sum usually buys barely one shoe. I don’t know about all payless shoes, but everything I looked at was all man made materials. All three are surprisingly comfortable and now I can release some leather work shoesContinue reading “Cash Shoes and Cashews – Payless and Dr. Cow Cheese”

Spaghetti with simple sage butter (earth balance) sauce. Earth Balance vegan butter appears to be made in NJ. For today’s purpose, that’s local enough. At least I’m paying attention to where my food comes from. Honestly, I would normally use the fancy Italian olive oil. Sometimes you gotta support the global economy, too. The floursContinue reading “Dark Days week #6 – Pasta! No really, I made the pasta.”

Why oh why don’t I make new recipes more often. I read them, think, hey, that looks good, then like a year later-by the power of greyskull-I finally whip it up. A. Somehow a conversation with the ninja today turned to biscuits. Me: I’m having a cup of tea.Him: With biscuits?Me: Uh, no, but like,Continue reading “Evening with a vengence! Biscuits and Gravy.”

It’s not a real vegan food blog until ya post some cat photos. Miss Lizzie and Mr. Darcy chill out while I’m cooking up vegan goodness at Mom’s. Those are all cookbooks on the shelves behind the sofa. Mom may be missing a few vegetarian cookbooks from the stash…hope she doesn’t read this soon… ForContinue reading “More ninjadillas and pizza and an alien cat”

When I visited mom earlier this year I made seitan and didn’t eat it all while I was here. It’s the vcon recipe and I froze it with the broth and all. So today I thawed it out, then coated it in cornmeal, and fried it up. I’m bringing this to a friend’s for dinnerContinue reading “Merry Christmas with Seitan!”

What to make at mom’s…cutlets, mustard sauce, corn, baked potatoes…oh yeah. Now where the heck did she put her copy of the Veganomicon? In the end I couldn’t find it, so I had to pull out my awesome Amazon Kindle where I have yet another copy of the vcon for just such travel emergencies. IContinue reading “Home for the holidays! Cutlets and mustard sauce.”

Yeah, this little disaster was brought on by Vogue. I was opening the magazine out of it’s plastic packaging when it burst out onto my keyboard cracking off the letter I. Veg News would never do this to me. Ugh. At least it still works, but it’s cramping my words a minute typing speed, andContinue reading “There’s no "I" in keyboard…and cupcakes!”

Fastest meal ever. Slice 4 thin pieces of celebration roast. Put in toaster oven with 2 pieces of bread and toast. While that’s toasting, mix a little ketchup, relish and vegenaise. Pull out toast, spread on vegenaise mix, and pile on the roast. I didn’t have sauerkraut, otherwise I would have called it a ruben.Continue reading “More celebration field roast!”

Celebration field roast with mushroom risotto, mushroom gravy, and squash. Nothing more right now. I’m watching Iron Man.
