Yup, it’s yet another totally vegan, but totally meaty meal. I found some organic spelt vegan english muffins and I am still experimenting with the various vegan cheeses. I got some cheddar style teese with my last order from pangea so here’s a sausage and teese breakfast sammich. It would probably be even better withContinue reading “Vegan sausage and cheese super muffin”

It’s already halfway through the month and I haven’t popped in a blog post yet? I’m not saving up ideas for this year’s MoFo in October, though I should. I’ve been cooking much of the usual, which isn’t very blog worthy and for some reason I’m on a rice and beans kick. So here’s whatContinue reading “Random stuff about menu engineering, Buffy, and vegan meet up”

There’s queso on my quesadilla! No really, it’s vegan cheese, but it’s cheese. Daiya cheese melts, is stringy, and tastes really, really good. You’ve seen me make “ninjadilla” before-since I couldn’t really call them quesadillas without the cheese-and I would have sworn that they didn’t need the cheese. I was wrong. It’s even better withContinue reading “Daiya is the O’Doul’s of cheese”

“What is Veggie Conquest? Veggie Conquest is a monthly amateur vegan cooking competition. Before the event, chefs prepare a dish at home based on a secret ingredient revealed a week in advance. At the event, judges and tasters choose the top dish, prizes are awarded, and everyone chows down and has a great time!” ThisContinue reading “I won the taster’s choice at the 1st Veggie Conquest!”

Orange you glad I said banana? Today’s cake is adapted from the Carrot Cake/Banana Bread recipe in the original 1977 Moosewood Cookbook. The cookbook cover fell off ages ago and it is held together by a rubber band. My mom annotated the pages with such fantastic sayings as “Peggy brought this to dinner-fabulous!” My parentsContinue reading “Banana Orange Bundt Cake”

Last day of the Quantum Wellness cleanse and if you’re paying any attention to me at all you know that the caffeine was the hardest part. I steered completely clear of alcohol, caffeine, and meat and dairy (I still want credit!) for 21 days, and I rarely had anything with gluten or added sugar.Here’s myContinue reading “Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan”

Slave to the CSA… Eggplant is the Iron Chef ingredient today. Everything is going to have a little eggplant in it. Since I don’t want a whole bunch of leftovers, here’s a 1-2 serving eggplant meatballs and some sauce to go with it. Step one goes into both parts. There will be extra sauce, forContinue reading “Eggplant Meatballs”

I had never heard of flavor tripping until Diann’s post last week. I just had to try this and I couldn’t wait to see if I won her contest, so I bought some of the mBerry Tabs from Amazon. Here’s the NY times article and apparently this was also a feature on CSI. Basically theContinue reading “Flavah Trippin’ in NYC”

I finally went to a Yankee game. I’ve been in New York for almost 5 years and never even made it to the old stadium. My first comment was “well, it’s bigger than Fenway.” It’s nice, but I was hoping to happen upon some magical veggie dogs that many other ballparks are sporting. No dice.Continue reading “Yankee Garlic Fries but no veggie dogs”

I’m still doing the Quantum Wellness Cleanse. Caffeine was the only major hurdle and no gluten is just annoying. However, I’ve discovered some interesting things that are made gluten free. So here’s a sort of product review of corn pasta. Pasta is my go to weeknight meal because I seem to always have something IContinue reading “Quantum Wellness Cleanse day 15 and some corn pasta”
