Italian Zucchini Stacks
The weather here in the north of Colorado has been very interesting lately, to say the least. With thunderstorms nearly every evening and the very real threat of tornadoes right outside ones backdoor, days and nights have been quite exciting. Is it strange that I love the sound of distant thunder as I fall asleep, […]
Philly Cheese Steaks {Seitan}
Wow, time is flying by! I can’t believe that it is May already. Where did that come from? Things are getting a little crazy in my little world. Our move to Seattle is coming up now (we are shooting for the end of June), and there seems to be so many things going on that […]
Chocolate Chip Pecan Waffles with Peanut Butter Mousse {whole grain spelt waffles)
Belgian waffles, what breakfast is more decadent? I love dense, rich waffles and sour cream is just the ticket to get the right texture and flavor. I have been making waffles with sour cream since long before I became vegan. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that I could still make my […]
Slow-Cooker Garden Chili and Cinnamon Rolls
I think that a lot of people may find this combination to be rather odd, but cinnamon rolls and chili were a very usual meal for me during my teenage years (my high school cafeteria served it regularly). Many people from my hometown claim that this meal is unique to that particular city, so I […]
Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl Cheesecake {gluten free, vegan}
One of the most common questions I get is “Where do you get your protein?”. Generally I rattle off the usual vegan protein list (tofu, quinoa, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, leafy greens, you know… the places where all those muscle-y animals like cows and gorillas get their proteins. To be specific, plants). Just to […]
Garganelli with Broccoli Rabe, Red Pepper and Spring Garlic
More homemade pasta? Absolutely! This one is incredibly fun to make and absolutely delicious. The shape of garganelli pasta is very impressive when made by hand. In fact you may want to make sure that anyone you are cooking for actually sees you making it, otherwise they may not believe that you made it yourself. […]
Zucchini Taco Boats {Tofu Taco Filling, Gluten Free}
Zucchini is a vegetable that I often find challenging. I always end up making the same old things (zucchini bread or muffins, sautéed in a bit of olive oil or added to a stir fry). Zucchini season seems to drag on each year though, and it is way too easy to get tired of the […]
Dark Chocolate Fudge Filled Brownie Cookies
This recipe started out as a challenge from my husband. For a welder/construction worker it can be very difficult to find healthy foods near job sites. In addition, there is the constant temptation of junky snack foods at convenience stores, etc. To help him out, I often ask him what junk foods he finds himself […]
Basic Tofu Scramble
Tofu scramble recipes are pretty much a dime a dozen these days, but I am still going to post one. I think what sets this particular scramble apart from the rest is simplicity of ingredients and flavor. There is often too much flavor in most tofu scrambles, and they are almost overwhelming in their curry […]
Perfect Cornbread (Vegan)
Cornbread is one of those foods that can cross the line between dinner and dessert. My favorite type of cornbread is one that is almost cake but not quite sweet enough to be so, and sturdy enough to go great along with any BBQ dish but also stand quite nicely on its own dripping with […]
