This lovely rice bowl comes from The Pump Energy Food which has a bunch of locations in NYC. I’ll post anything where you can get tofu as a regular option. The supercharged plate is brown rice with baked tofu, spinach, tomatoes, guacamole and a “cool green” sauce which is cucumber, mint, parsley, and lime sauce.Oh,Continue reading “Health food vs. Junk food”

Hot wings, vegan style. The buffalo chicken fingers are from a tester recipe. I froze them and they reheated nicely in the toaster oven. Tami’s awesome book American Vegan Kitchen will be out in February, but you can pre-order it now! The blue cheese dip is some Blue Style Scheese mixed with veganaise. The hotContinue reading “Seitan buffalo fingers with blue cheese dressing”

Here’s another quickie… I usually make oatmeal at work for breakfast with some rolled oats and raisins, but I ate all the raisins yesterday and forgot to bring more in. I did have some peanut butter left at the bottom of the jar and I had some Crofter’s superfruit spread in the fridge. It’s theContinue reading “Peanut butter and jelly oatmeal”

Isa & Terry’s new book is almost here! I preordered from Amazon and got shipping notice that it should arrive by Saturday. Woo-hoo!

Vegan junk food rules. Sweet & Sara smores are awesome. This is the peanut butter flavor.I came across the sweet & sara marshmallows and smores in the grocery store near my work. Gotta support vegan companies when you see their products right? Perfect afternoon snack. I also really like Suzanne’s Specilaties ricemellow creme. You probablyContinue reading “Vegan Marshmallows”

I mixed some Penzeys Buttermilk Ranch Dressing mix with some tofutti sour cream for the dip. Although the name says buttermilk,Continue reading “Green bean fries with ranch dressing”

Whew, I made the Tuesday MoFo round-up with my gnocchi and cilantro pesto. Rock on. If you haven’t been keeping up with Vegan MoFo HQ, now is the time to check in on it! How else would you know about the vegan Doritos? Huzzah! I found them in the convenience store in my office building,Continue reading “Woo-hoo, I made the MoFo round-up!”

This dish just sort of happened. I wanted gnocchi, but I kind of wanted something Mexican and needed to use up some cooked pinto beans and some cilantro that was threatening to wilt. Voila gnocchi with cilantro pesto. Prepackaged gnocchi (I’ll save homemade gnocchi for anther time) 1TBS olive oil 1/2 cup quick sofrito1 cupContinue reading “Meatless Monday Gnocchi with cilantro pesto”

Today’s dish was inspired by two other bloggers. Matt at My Veggie Kitchen created the ultimate chicken flavored broth. Jeni at Heathen Vegan had some stew with dumplings and was discussing what the British and Americans call dumplings vs. biscuits. Inspiration hits. Chicken and Dumpling dinners are the annual fundraiser of many a Delaware organization.Continue reading “Slower Delaware style "chicken" and dumplings”

I tell people I write a vegan cooking blog. Vegan eating blog would be more accurate. Last night I went to a NYC vegan eat-up event at Blossom to support the Farm Sanctuary. Both Blossom locations were donating 10% of each bill to the sanctuary. Thanks to all the eat-uppers for snapping shots of theirContinue reading “Blossom NYC vegan meet up for Farm Sanctuary”
