Whew, I made the Tuesday MoFo round-up with my gnocchi and cilantro pesto. Rock on. If you haven’t been keeping up with Vegan MoFo HQ, now is the time to check in on it! How else would you know about the vegan Doritos? Huzzah! I found them in the convenience store in my office building,Continue reading “Woo-hoo, I made the MoFo round-up!”

This dish just sort of happened. I wanted gnocchi, but I kind of wanted something Mexican and needed to use up some cooked pinto beans and some cilantro that was threatening to wilt. Voila gnocchi with cilantro pesto. Prepackaged gnocchi (I’ll save homemade gnocchi for anther time) 1TBS olive oil 1/2 cup quick sofrito1 cupContinue reading “Meatless Monday Gnocchi with cilantro pesto”

Today’s dish was inspired by two other bloggers. Matt at My Veggie Kitchen created the ultimate chicken flavored broth. Jeni at Heathen Vegan had some stew with dumplings and was discussing what the British and Americans call dumplings vs. biscuits. Inspiration hits. Chicken and Dumpling dinners are the annual fundraiser of many a Delaware organization.Continue reading “Slower Delaware style "chicken" and dumplings”

I tell people I write a vegan cooking blog. Vegan eating blog would be more accurate. Last night I went to a NYC vegan eat-up event at Blossom to support the Farm Sanctuary. Both Blossom locations were donating 10% of each bill to the sanctuary. Thanks to all the eat-uppers for snapping shots of theirContinue reading “Blossom NYC vegan meet up for Farm Sanctuary”

I had a lovely birthday dinner last night at Dirt Candy. It’s vegetarian, but they’ll make all the dishes vegan. They even ask if you’re vegan when they seat you! We started with the Jalapeno Hush Puppies with maple butter. YUM! Kimchi Doughnuts with watermelon radishes, cilantro and wild arugula Asparagus Paella with artichokes, morels,Continue reading “Birthday Dinner at Dirt Candy NYC”

So I’m off to visit my 84 year old first cousin once removed* and her 92 year old husband. What to bring for the oldies but goodies…hhmmm…this is tough…cookies! Yes, everyone likes cookies, so let’s go with an everything cookie adapted from the recipe from the canister of walmart oatmeal. I was too lazy toContinue reading “Copycat gift cookies…”

Here’s one version of veggie broth I make on a regular basis. No, I’m not suggesting any dumpster diving. It’s mainly comprised of vegetables you’ve got sitting around that haven’t quite gone bad, but you aren’t really going to use them in anything before they do go bad. Or the parts of veggies you wouldContinue reading “Practically Freegan Vegetable Broth”

Robin Robertson has a new giant book of vegan recipes. 1,000 Vegan Recipes to be exact. Tonight I whipped up the soy-tan dream cutlets to add to my leftover mexcellent rice bowl. A mix of tofu and wheat gluten with a little spices, this is a super fast way to get some seitan into aContinue reading “Soy-tan dream cutlets from 1,000 Vegan Recipes”

For anyone who DVRs the Big Bang Theory or Two and a Half Men, you may notice the producer, Chuck Lorre’s vanity card for the one second it flashes on the screen at the end. Typically a rant at network executives, politicians, or show-biz types and frequently censored, I have to pause and take aContinue reading “Veganism’s 1 second of fame”

I’m in love with NYC vegan ice cream shop Lula’s Sweet Apothecary. I make special trips the east village just to get some treats. New York Egg Cream! No eggs. No cream. It’s pretty much chocolate soy milk with seltzer, but yum! No unnecessary waste; they use metal straws. I bought some for my smoothies.TheContinue reading “Vegan Ice Cream – Lula’s sweet apothecary NYC”
