Healthy Vegan Alternative to Chicken Divan Day 2 and I’m feeling somewhat better. But not 100%, so Week 1 of Vegan MoFo IV has got to be dedicated to comfort foods: foods you eat cuz you want to eat them and you don’t care how much you eat of’em, you just want to eat them now. Those ones. This recipe is comfort food at it’s finest. Comfort food should make you excited to eat and when I was little, this dish made me excited... more
Happy International Vegan Day, Vegan MoFos!
On November - 1 - 2010
Hoo hoo, billy! What a weekend. Halloween party (with 17 kids) leading into a Star Wars themed wedding (with 17 drinks) culminating in World Vegan Day in an exciting city (with 17 wrong turns) and coming home to the start of Vegan MoFo. Whew. I am so excited to blog this month away, but today, a day when every single cell in my body feels tender, I am just so dang thankful for vegan junkfood. Junkfood is junkfood, but lots of the time it is a little... more

Pressure Cooker Dahl With Rice and Greens
On October - 27 - 2010
Pressure Cooker Dahl With Rice and Greens I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you are vegan, you NEED a pressure cooker. Do not be afraid, do not resist. The ease at which complexly flavoured soups, stews, curries, etc, etc, etc, come together will never cease to astound me. This high protein, high fibre dahl is my favourite just got home from the gym lunch or dinner. INGREDIENTS: - 1 cup red onion, diced - 4 cloves garlic,... more
Mexican Hot Chocolate Zucchini Bread
On October - 19 - 2010
Muy Caliente! What’s very long, almost grotesquely large and makes me crave chocolate? Late harvest zucchini, of course, what were YOU thinking? My incredible parents bought me an incredible silicon mini-loaf pan and it’s been begging for chocolate zucchini goodness for days. But loaf says gloomy day to me (Tuesday says red circle, go figure! My brain is a veritable wonderland) and today was sunny and cool and crisp, so I decided my loaves... more
My Whole Deal Mini Challenge
On October - 17 - 2010
CONTEST CLOSED Holy Close Call! Amazing guesses, you guys know your veggies, but the farmer takes it, guessing an incredible 30/31 items. Kudos to Sue and Craig, though, for identifying the Florida Avocado or Slimcado. The higher water content of this strain of avocado makes them much lower in fat, but they’re still rich tasting and great in guacomole (recipe coming soon!). Congrats, Greg! You are a man who knows his greens! iTunes Gift Card... more
