Here’s some photos of the animals at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Loads of fun. We took the tour and walked around and took way too many pictures of the critters… The educational information is available, but not too “in your face” because the animals really speak for themselves. In the case of the roosters,Continue reading “Woodstock Farm Sanctuary and The Garden Cafe”

Headed to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary this afternoon, so I packed a picnic. SLT, seitan lettuce and tomato sammiches. Seitan from last night (Yellow Rose Recipes) and some farm fresh lettuce and tomatoes from my CSA share. I split the cutlets again to make them thinner and dredged is some flour and Penzeys porkContinue reading “SLT Seitan Lettuce & Tomato”

Seitan Piccata is what to serve to non-vegans to showcase a classic dish that isn’t missing the meat. Rich and savory doesn’t even begin to cover it. The seitan is from the Yellow Rose Recipes by Joanna Vaught and the piccata sauce is from The Candle Cafe Cookbook. Lightly fry the seitan and serve withContinue reading “Seitan Piccata”

This is a veganized version of something my mom used to make that I loved. It’s a really simple, creamy summer salad with fresh peas, tomatoes, and “bacon.” It doesn’t really look like much, but something about bacon and tomato and fresh garden peas just goes together.

Do not fear the weird vegetables…Red Amaranth.

I plucked off the leaves off the stems and sauteed them in some olive oil andContinue reading “Red Amaranth and Quinoa with Miso Tahini Sauce”

I made the black-eyed pea and quinoa croquettes with mushroom sauce from Vegan with a Vengeance. OK, so I was hungry and forgot to snap a photo of my plate before I ate which if you’ll use your imagination was really pretty with the croquettes and a side of bright green garlicky kale. So here’sContinue reading “Black-eyed Pea and Quinoa Croquettes with Mushroom Sauce”

Usually when I come home to the beach, I trek to the pizza joints of my youth and am happy to have a cheese-less pizza and some beach fries. My facebook friends already saw the chips, salsa, guac, and margarita shot from Tijuana Taxi on Monday. Those are generally my type of options. Now enterContinue reading “Hobos Rehoboth Beach, Delaware”
