Hey! It’s the last week of Vegan MoFo already! Holy Hummus! What to do? How about “A Week in Reviews”? OK!!! This week will be dedicated to reviews of handy vegan products, because, let’s face it, it’s downright exciting to see a product labeled “vegan.” It’s like a happy grocery store birthday present. Fantastic. First [...]
Mojo Cubano Potstickers
On June - 1 - 2011
I was snarfy hungry on Saturday afternoon. I think the kids are calling it hangry these days. Whatever the moniker, once my entire family had casually yet pointedly removed themselves from my presence, I realised I needed to eat something right quick or risk solitary confinement for the rest of the weekend. The problem is [...]
Ginger Miso Quinoa, 2 Ways
On May - 12 - 2011
I tend to cook a lot of one pot meals: stews, soups, curries and casseroles are my go-to dinners. I enjoy the simplicity of having everything you need in just one dish. Also, I’m pretty busy most of the time. How can I possibly be expected to think of more than one thing to make [...]
Asian-Style Panko Crusted Baked Tofu
On April - 27 - 2011
Earlier this month, I saw a recipe on Vegan Dad that looked very intriguing: Golden Crispy Tofu. I tend to shy away from serving tofu since my manfriend gets a little skittish around cliché vegan food and fabricated protein sources, but this looked so crunchy and familiar that I figured I could trick him into [...]
I WON!
On April - 20 - 2011
I don’t win things. I’m what’s known as a loser, in that I lose everything, whether it is mine to lose or not (that’s why I’m not allowed to have fancy things that aren’t too heavy for me to take away from the house). So when I entered the cookshelf contest over on the [...]
Crispy Baked Lentil Spinach Pierogies
On April - 16 - 2011
Lentils are by far my favourite legume. I was a horrible, picky child, so when I was finally allowed to give up meat as a teenager, I found I was faced with a conundrum: I thought beans were super-icky to the max. For serious. But the late 90s weren’t a stellar time for faux-meat products, [...]
Sriracha and Sesame Crusted Tempeh
On April - 12 - 2011
Veganizing The Sriracha Cookbook, Volume 3.0 It’s that time again. Time to consult that beacon of all that is garlic-spice-liscious and make it vegan. I thought I might as well keep chipping away the “hunk of protein” section of the book. And, as I very recently procured a giant sack of black sesame seeds, it [...]
