Hello again. I feel as though some further explanation regarding my extended absence is in order: the long and short of it is that I got kind of, well, over my whole deal for a bit. Not tired of eating a “healthy” vegan diet, but tired of documenting everything and trying to make it look [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Burn the Sick Out Soup
On April - 7 - 2011
I am sick. So, achy, chest cold-y, wretchy, fever-y, chill-y, gross-y yuck sick. But, you know what? I’m craftier than some stupid invasive infection! I’m gonna burn the mutha out. Garlic, ginger, chillies, Sriracha–burn, burn, you’re gonna burn, little buggies! Yet, despite the multitude of spicy ingredients, this soup is more warming than scorching (although, [...]
Grilled Sriracha Short Stuff
On March - 1 - 2011
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Local food challenge starts tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! Exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, for my “last supper,” I needed something extra flavour punched. Like punched in the face with flavour by a giant flavour fist that’s been all kinds of tasty places. But better. Not that I don’t think my local food won’t be delicious: I’m just so used [...]
