When I visited mom earlier this year I made seitan and didn’t eat it all while I was here. It’s the vcon recipe and I froze it with the broth and all. So today I thawed it out, then coated it in cornmeal, and fried it up. I’m bringing this to a friend’s for dinnerContinue reading “Merry Christmas with Seitan!”

What to make at mom’s…cutlets, mustard sauce, corn, baked potatoes…oh yeah. Now where the heck did she put her copy of the Veganomicon? In the end I couldn’t find it, so I had to pull out my awesome Amazon Kindle where I have yet another copy of the vcon for just such travel emergencies. IContinue reading “Home for the holidays! Cutlets and mustard sauce.”

Yeah, this little disaster was brought on by Vogue. I was opening the magazine out of it’s plastic packaging when it burst out onto my keyboard cracking off the letter I. Veg News would never do this to me. Ugh. At least it still works, but it’s cramping my words a minute typing speed, andContinue reading “There’s no "I" in keyboard…and cupcakes!”

Fastest meal ever. Slice 4 thin pieces of celebration roast. Put in toaster oven with 2 pieces of bread and toast. While that’s toasting, mix a little ketchup, relish and vegenaise. Pull out toast, spread on vegenaise mix, and pile on the roast. I didn’t have sauerkraut, otherwise I would have called it a ruben.Continue reading “More celebration field roast!”

Celebration field roast with mushroom risotto, mushroom gravy, and squash. Nothing more right now. I’m watching Iron Man.

OK, so according to google maps King Arthur Flour is 247 miles from my house, so we’re going with a local food shed of 250 miles! Rock on. It’s a bit of a stretch, but I want to use the vital wheat gluten to make seitan count as local. I love KAF anyway because itContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge – Local Pizza!”

Yeah, I just ate fried spaghetti for breakfast. It was kinda awesome. I made the pasta for lunch yesterday by mixing the artichoke dip with the sauce from the lasagna. The combination made both better. I heart New York. I just had two days of fun with friends. Friday we had our company party duringContinue reading “Fried spaghetti”

Last week when I was defrosting my ancient freezer, I forgot to put back the bag of artichokes, so they’ve been thawed in the fridge all week. They’re still good, but I needed to use them now. I found the artichoke sunflower spread in Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet. I had some raw sunflower seeds andContinue reading “Artichoke Sunflower Spread”

Sometimes I do plan ahead. I had chopped up some summer basil with olive oil and stashed it in the freezer for just such an occasion. This is my first attempt at spaghetti squash, and although clearly it’s meant to come out in strands like spaghetti, it was kind of hard to get a goodContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge#3-Pesto spaghetti squash and brussel sprouts”
