Tofu Tagine with Apricots, Almonds and Cashews
I’m still here!! Barely… It has been a very interesting week. My husband is a welder/construction worker, so he doesn’t get a whole lot of time at home. I had just gotten used to him working 6 days a week, 10 hours a day when suddenly he decided to take some vacation time and he […]

Chao Stuffed Italian Burgers with Zucchini Fries
One of the things I enjoy doing the most each week is sitting down and planning menus for the following week. I print out the list of fruits and veggies I am going to receive in my produce box, take inventory of what I need to use out of the refrigerator and pantry, grab a […]

Kebab Halla with Rustic Zucchini Tian {Seitan}
I received zucchini and summer squash in my produce box once again, for what seems like the millionth time. I’m not complaining, really… I just am having to start cooking outside my comfort zone in order to keep things new and interesting. I have never cooked or even tasted Egyptian food before, but when I […]

Italian Herbed Tofu and Kale with Caramelized Leeks
Whenever I am planning a move (either across town or across several states), I always find myself putting organizing and packing off till the last minute. I know that I need to get it done sooner rather than later, but I am not very good at listening to my own advice. So now, with less […]

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 […]

Slow-Cooker BBQ Seitan (Brisket Style)
A while back I posted a recipe for Vegan BBQ Brisket (Seitan). It was absolutely delicious, but I couldn’t resist revisiting the concept of a BBQ brisket made from seitan after I discovered how easy it is to make seitan roasts in a slow-cooker. My original recipe was prepared using the usual method of foil […]

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. […]

Sausage, Onion and Cheese Breakfast Bake {tofu}
I can never seem to follow my own advice. I am constantly reminding myself that occasions that include providing a meal for individuals who are not vegan may not be the best times to try out new ideas. So what did I do on Easter morning? I made a dish that I had never tried […]
