Golden cupcakes and chocolate buttercream frosting from duh, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. I’ll be at Vegan Drinks in NYC tonight where we’re having a bake sale to help the relief effort in Haiti.

Veganism is the new tastes like chicken was in the vanity card from an episode of the Big Bang Theory earlier this season. I still think it’s funny…and totally appropriate for tonight’s dinner. I know there are two camps of vegans. The ones who are grossed out by the mere mention of fake meat andContinue reading “Veganism is the new tastes like chicken”

Had a lovely brunch at Counter in the East Village yesterday afternoon. This was the Mean Green Mary.

I made some practically freegan broth and roasted some veggies for a light and delightful pureed roasted butternut squash soup. The roastedContinue reading “Roasted butternut squash soup”

OK, this is no traditional recipe, but every year I come up with some excuse not to make black eyed peas on New Year’s Day. This year I dug through the pantry and came up with both a can of black eyed peas and a can of collard greens. Sure fresh would be better, butContinue reading “Black eyed peas and collard greens for the new year”

Happy New Year! My neighbors made this awesome vegan bundt cake for their new year’s party. I’ll have to to get the recipe. I’m eating it for breakfast…
