Resolutions schmesolutions.  Blog worthy or no, I’m bringing in 2012 with an old classic.  Scramble rancheros.  Tortillas, a little salsa, a little tofu, and voila breakfast of campeones.  Fresh salsa makes it super awesome, and I just wouldn’t be me if there wasn’t a little chipotle vegenaise on the side. Happy New Year’s ya’ll.  

Sometimes I wonder why anyone bothers writing pasta recipes since it’s so easy just to throw stuff in that you’ve got in the cupboard, freezer, and fridge.  Here’s an easy weeknight pasta recipe anyway. Beefy ‘shroomy ziti – serves one with enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow 1/4 bag/box pasta or whatever you’ve got open inContinue reading “Super easy meaty weeknight ziti”

I picked up this well hung daikon radish at the Farmer’s Market in Lewes this morning.  Daikon food porn… The daikon was quite a bargain at $3.  It took up half the back seat.  I’ll make something Japanese with it tomorrow. The Lewes Farmer’s Market.  Nestled in the wooded grounds of the Historical Society inContinue reading “Mofo 15 – Sexy Vegetables! – Daikon Radish”

I was grabbing a few vegan Kashi frozen meals for the office when I spied a familiar logo at the bottom of the Whole Foods freezer.  Can this be?  It’s Candle Cafe’s seitan piccata in frozen form! I made it for lunch today.  I don’t have a microwave at home, but they’re pretty darn handyContinue reading “Candle Cafe at home (or work) Seitan Piccata!”

Sure it’s a little messy, but it’s so freakin’ fun!  I almost feel bad for the vegetables as I smash them to their doom.  If you have the means and want to make your own juice, definitely spring for the uber fancy model.  It’s easy to clean you can make a whole lot before itContinue reading “Mofo 3 – OMG the awesome juicer is the funnest invention ever!!”

The vegan month of food blogging has arrived!  This is my 4th year participating and I’ve got a few things going on. First off I bought a juicer yesterday.  I haven’t gotten the thing out of the box yet, but I’m getting ready to give it a whirl.  Just because I like to go allContinue reading “Vegan MoFo day 2 – Juicer inspired by the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead"”

You didn’t think they’d forget dessert in the apocalypse didya?  Vegan Unplugged has 9 easy peasy desserts to cheer up your palate in any emergency.  These yummy truffles are ready in a flash and are full of chocolatey peanutty goodness.  I ended up rolling them in coconut for no other reason than I found aContinue reading “Sweet Treat Chocolate Truffles – Vegan Unplugged”

Yet another great Vegan Unplugged meal that I would make any day! Pasta with Creamy Pumpkin Walnut Sauce is a neat twist on the normal tomato based pasta sauces.  Sage and pumpkin pair together perfectly and the toasted walnuts give it some protein and crunch. Another hit!  So easy and delicious!

Sure you can buy soup already in a can, but homemade soup made from stuff that was originally canned puts you in control of the flavors!  This white bean and greens soup from Vegan Unplugged is comforting and delicious.  I didn’t have any cool shaped tiny pasta, so I used orzo.  This is a mealContinue reading “White Beans and Greens Soup – Vegan Unplugged”

This is one of the easiest lasagnas I’ve ever made.  Vegan Unplugged rocks it again.  I cooked the lasagna noodles with the fuel efficient boil-and-let-them-sit method.  Then layered them with some cheater (Ragu) sauce and a delicious tofu and white bean seasoned “ricotta”, and topped with a little nooch.   I’m finding that the bestContinue reading “Last Resort Lasagna – Vegan Unplugged”
