• Vegan MoFo: Slow-Cooked Lentil Bourguigno-no

    Brrrr! Today is the first day it has really felt like Fall in Victoria. So much so that I immediately yanked out the slow cooker at 7 am this morning to warm my house with the scent of an all day stew. Yesterday I took the book, Sporkfed , out of the library. I’ve been perusing it, but gingerly. When I was in highschool, for some reason–perhaps it was related to the fact that, during my initial exposure to Monty Python, the word/concept of SPAM was the only thing I could actually... READ

  • Vegan MoFo: Thanksgiving Potluck Ideas, Whoah!

    Since nobody has entered my super-duper-you-will-like-what-you-get challenge yet, I am opening it up to the States too. Come on Canada! You don’t want a Thanksgiving challenge prize to go to someone from a nation where the holiday occurs way too darn close to X-Mas, do you???? “Hey! You remember the harvest? Horn’o'plenty and whatnot? I totally heralded that! Yeah. Good times. Seems like it was just yesterday, right? That’s because IT WAS!!! Also, we should probably talk... READ

  • Vegan Mofo Salad-a-go-go

    Well, it’s only day three of Vegan Mofo 2012 and, as I expected, my atrociously busy month is already getting the better of me! I have a deliciously Autumnisinal (I’m not too busy to make up words, apparently!) recipe coming at you tomorrow, but for now, let us take this day to reminisce about the lazy, hazy days of summer. Days when salad was all you needed to sustain you until your next craft beer. Yes, salad days. I didn’t really fall in love with salad until I gave up gluten... READ

  • Vegan MoFo and Mango Mojo

    Think I’ll be able to rhyme-title all my posts this month? Today’s MoFo is brought to you in part by a Victoria institution: Rebar Modern Food. Chances are if you are even slightly veggie oriented you have mad a point to hit this adorable restaurant nestled in what used to be a bank vault in historic Bastion Square. I happen to have it in good authority that the currently siteless Rebar is about to make a huge splash on the web, but until then, let’s look at another aspect of this... READ

  • Vegan MoFo, fo sho. (And tortillas)

    Whoah, October! What the heck are you doing here already? And what have you brought with you? Vegan MoFo 2012, the Victoria Marathon (8k) and Disneyland? Aaaaaiiiiiiiahhhh! Due to the sheer craziness of this month, I will be keeping my MoFo posts very short and sweet (and sometimes savoury) this year. Since transitioning to a clean-eating, gluten-free diet in March, I have never felt better, so I will use Vegan MoFo to highlight some of the amazing gluten-free vegan food out there and chronicle... READ

Vegan Chocolate Mousse Cups

Posted by Ryann On November - 30 - 2010

You made it! Vegan MoFo IV is done! Time for some sweet, sweet chocolate lovin'. Vegan MoFo IV, Day #30, Week #5: C’est Fini! Wowee! 30 days of vegan blogging is complete! Somehow raising a cup of tea just doesn’t seem to pay enough homage to all the crazy dedicated vegans that blogged their pure and kind hearts out this month. Wine? Well, ok, but how about a little something decadent to go with the bouquet. How about intensely rich... more

Vegan MoFo means Beautiful, Vegan Food Vegan MoFo IV, Day #29, Week #5: This is the End! Looks like we made it folks. Just one more post after tonight to round out an amazing month of Vegan Food (yeah, that warrants capitalization). It’s been an absolute joy neglecting my friends and family in favour of cooking, blogging and checking out all the other tummy tickling vegan foodie blogs out there (get a load of this blogroll! It’s huge!!!!)... more

Fat Free Onion Rings

Posted by Ryann On November - 28 - 2010

Crispy, spicy love holes. Does that sound appetizing? Don't worry, I'll find it. Vegan MoFo IV, Day #28, Week #4: Vegan Mish Mash and Whatnot I was never really interested in onion rings until just recently when I noticed an influx of low fat onion ring recipes popping up on the vegan blogs of the world. What’s the deal with onion rings? I asked myself this question while I watched people who could detect the tiniest sliver of onion... more

Quickie Mock Tuna Salad

Posted by Ryann On November - 27 - 2010

Tasty on Toast Vegan MoFo IV, Day #27, Week #4: Vegan Mish Mash and Whatnot I know I just posted a “tuna” recipe quite recently, but this one is much faster, nearly instant, in fact, so it’s better for those days when I better eat now or risk beheading the next person who tries to make polite conversation with me. I do not handle sugar lows with any grace at all. I only recently discovered how amazing “salad sandwiches”... more

Fat Free Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Posted by Ryann On November - 26 - 2010

Soup. It does the body good, but for reals. No propoganda machine churning over here. Vegan MoFo IV, Day #26, Week #4: Vegan Mish Mash and Whatnot Who’s got two thumbs and went out last night? This vegan blogstess (hmmm…that schtick works better in person). It’s got to be an indisputable medical fact that soup is a miraculous elixir, capable of coursing through the bodies of the ailing, creating a wholesome wake of healing as it... more

Pink Sugar Cupcakery

Pink Sugar Cupcakery, Victoria, BC. Oh. Yum. http://www.pinksugarcupcakery.com/cupcake.html Vegan MoFo IV, Day #24, Week #4: Vegan Mish Mash and Whatnot Not to diminish the delightfulness of the establishment one iota, but I feel I must offer up complete transparency: I am absolutely smitten with the word “cupcakery.” Cupcakery. Say it! It’s positively whimsical! There are not a lot of cupcakeries were a vegan feels welcome. Fluffy,... more
