Maybe I’m just hungry, but this is the best vegan burger I have ever had. It’s not the individual parts, but rather the whole that has just made my night. In the immortal words of U2 it is even better than the real thing. I don’t usually power down an pile of relatively processed fauxContinue reading “Bacon blue cheese cheddar burger – not cheating.

We had a pot luck luncheon for a co-worker friend who was leaving the company. I brought vegan lasagna! And homemade garlic bread. Here’s my version. Lasagna noodles Sauce Tofu ricotta Soy cheese Lasagna noodles-store bought, dry lasagna noodles Boil noodles until al dente and drain or…don’t Note: The Barilla “no cook” variety is madeContinue reading “Vegan lasagna for everyone!”

OK, “vegetarian” vampires who hunt wild game instead of humans is kind of a misnomer, but there were some real veggie friendly surprises in the film. A. When Bella is first in the diner the waitress specifically says something about Bella and her gardenburger. B. Then in the same diner, later in the film, theContinue reading “Veggie stuff about Twilight…Seriously”

Yeah, the ninja (my husband) loves these. The filling is different every time, but I get to feed him vegan and he cleans the plate. I like spicy, but he is sweats at anything hotter than black pepper, so I try to give it more flavor than spice. Secret 1: fry the burrito-it’s more likeContinue reading “Ninja burritos!”

I’ve got more stuffing than jacket. Local: 1 potato 1/2 acorn squash handful of roasted veggies like: carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, purple potato, leeks, fennel 2Continue reading “Dark Days Challenge #2 The real stuffed potato”

I’ve got a stuffed baked potato comin’ atcha. Roasted veggies piled high. This is gonna be so totally better than any old boring ‘tater skins… But I’ve just GOT to go see my vampire boyfriend in Twilight first. So I’m headed into the city on this dreary day for a movie with a friend. I’llContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge #2 Under construction….”

I was gonna just make a thanksgiving sammich..but I had this bit of sauerkraut in my fridge, that really just needed to get out of the way (for all the other leftovers and some bread dough.) So I whipped up a thanksgiving ruben instead. For un-turkey day I made chickpea cutlets because I never didContinue reading “Leftovers schmleftovers”

Just thought I’d treat my post like my facebook update. The ninja agreed to a vegan thanksgiving, and I get to stay home and cook whatever I feel like today. There’s some broth already simmering on the stove. Slim pickings at the last Tarrytown farmer’s market last weekend, but I still have a bit ofContinue reading “Jenn is Thanking the Turkey”

OK, here goes… This is going to be a meal for me, but it’s all veggie with no grain or protein (because that’s what I had that was local.) I gathered what I could from the last Tarrytown, NY farmer’s market of the year. Lots of perfect squash and potatoes, the cauliflower had frozen, andContinue reading “Dark Days Challenge #1 Local food-Roasted veggies”
