Being vegan for 20+ years is no simple feat. There’s a lot of “regular” cake that gets passed up. There are a few things I REALLY miss, but that aren’t worth the suffering. (My mother’s mac & cheese. French onion soup.) But this lifestyle started as an environmental protest and grew to become a daily… Continue reading New “Meat” Restaurant

Simple Summer Watermelon Salad
OK – So I’m infatuated with Violife Just Like Feta cheese right now. Which is funny, because if it hadn’t been for our first Cheese-Off, I never would have bought it. (The results of the second Cheese-Off are in but not yet published – stay tuned.) I’m also infatuated with watermelon. I love it so… Continue reading Simple Summer Watermelon Salad
Vegan Cheese Review! …Round 1
“I just don’t think I can ever give up cheese.” Perhaps THE most common statement made when talking with non-vegans about plant-based eating. Well, we didn’t think we ever would either. It’s funny how quickly a palette changes though. Over the years there have been some real “fake” cheese stinkers…and not in the way cheese-lovers… Continue reading Vegan Cheese Review! …Round 1
Blog Week 2: Vegan Sausage Cook-off
I know we posted that we were gonna compare vegan cheeses this week but the opportunity presented itself to do vegan sausages instead so we’re running with that. We (Sam and Jen) just hosted our traditional Memorial Day Party this year. (Yes – we wore masks. Yes – we kept it to 10 people. Yes… Continue reading Blog Week 2: Vegan Sausage Cook-off

Baked Tofu “Feta”
When I was a kid, my mom…or dad…one of them would make what I remember as “marinated flank steak”. I think it might have been labeled as a Grecian Flank Steak. My taste buds can still recall the taste of that dish, so rich and tasty. I wondered what would happen if I recreated that… Continue reading Baked Tofu “Feta”
White Bean Tempeh “Sausage” Gravy (w/Biscuits)
OK – this is not my recipe! This is from Isa Chandra Moskowitz, possibly my favorite vegan recipe writer, from her book, “Vegan with a Vengeance,” possibly my favorite vegan cookbook. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. (I make two tweaks…. LOL) And I want you to go out and buy this book for yourself… Continue reading White Bean Tempeh “Sausage” Gravy (w/Biscuits)
Morning Tofu Toast
Okay, so this is hands-down the hippiest recipe I’ll ever post. I think. I’m pretty sure. But it’s soooo good and filling, choc full o’protein. But that’s not the only reason I wanted to post a tofu recipe. I have a hard time finding flavorful tofu even at the best restaurants. It always tastes like…well,… Continue reading Morning Tofu Toast
Maple Chorizo Seitan Tacos
Here’s my second attempt at putting what I do regularly for cooking onto paper. It’s a weird thing for me to do, but I’m learning. This time I actually copied Leigh Ann’s clarity and added a clear (I hope) ingredient list. LOL. Enjoy Maple Chorizo Seitan Tacos (prep ease = 1) I love these and… Continue reading Maple Chorizo Seitan Tacos
Sausage & White Bean Gumbo
My (this is Leigh Ann) first recipe to share with you might appear complicated, but it isn’t. You basically chop some stuff up and throw it in the pot. Basically. The only thing that requires a little time and patience is making the roux. Don’t rush the roux. If you do rush the roux, it… Continue reading Sausage & White Bean Gumbo
