Long day at work again. Let’s see…I’ve got chili, corn caserole, and home made fries are in the oven. What to do, what to do. Yes, I mixed the chipotle chili with the creamy corn caserole and topped the fries with it. Yum.

Tonight, I made Bianca’s yummy corn caserole. This is some serious Southern love cookin‘. The ninja loved it. The photo doesn’t do it justice. I had it with fries and leftover ravioli, so I didn’t even get a photo of that starch fest, but the corn casserole was the star.

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”
