Had a lovely brunch at Counter in the East Village yesterday afternoon. This was the Mean Green Mary. Despite the dandelion greens and other good for you additions, I think I got a little tipsy.We shared the potato latkes. The condiment was a pear compote. Fried potatoes. So scrumptious. This was the East Side Burger.Continue reading “Freakin’ awesome brunch at Counter NYC”

I found Volentia through a facebook group and it’s a whole networking site just for vegetarians. You can designate your vegetarian level, join the vegan group, and pimp your veggie blog . Yeah, I know yet another social networking site to keep up with, but hey it’s ALL vegetarians, so it’s pretty freakin’ awesome. AlsoContinue reading “Some new(ly discovered by me) vegan resources and cleaning out my closet”

You can’t really see it in the photo, but this awesome vegan hat has HEADPHONES in the ear flaps. Guava makes a rockin hat. Check out her etsy site Late to the Revolution for more earphone hats and headbands.

Mmmmm banana fronch toast (you have to say it in the voice of the mother from Better off Dead for that to be funny.) I picked up a baguette from Hot and Crusty on my way home from work (yes, I was working at my new job on a Saturday. These darn accountants and theirContinue reading “Super easy banana french toast”

Once again, nothing warms up the house like a 400 degree oven. A pot of broth simmering on the stove can add some much needed humidity to the dry winter air as well. I made some practically freegan broth and roasted some veggies for a light and delightful pureed roasted butternut squash soup. The roastedContinue reading “Roasted butternut squash soup”

OK, this is no traditional recipe, but every year I come up with some excuse not to make black eyed peas on New Year’s Day. This year I dug through the pantry and came up with both a can of black eyed peas and a can of collard greens. Sure fresh would be better, butContinue reading “Black eyed peas and collard greens for the new year”

Happy New Year! My neighbors made this awesome vegan bundt cake for their new year’s party. I’ll have to to get the recipe. I’m eating it for breakfast…

Christmas pizza. Well it’s red and green, right? Sauce and oregano. I got a new camera for Christmas, so hopefully I’ll be creating some more artful photos in the future. Currently I’m practicing on the pizza. Light life pepperoni, canned mushrooms (yessss, canned mushrooms, they’re awesome on pizza) and the breakfast sausage browned with someContinue reading “Christmas Pizza”

Nothing warms up the house on a cold winter’s day like a 400 degree oven. I roasted some beets and butternut squash. I like to peel and dice the veggies before roasting, so each piece gets coated and crispy.Here’s the rice mix. It’s Kagayaki brand premium short 6 grain rice. I got it at theContinue reading “Roasted vegetables and super cool Japanese rice”

This is my first go at the seitan-in-foil sausage technique. The recipe is from Alicia Simpson’s Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food. You know how I love the field roast and tofurky sausages, but this is so easy I might just have to start making my own more often. Not sure these will fool theContinue reading “Breakfast Sausage”
