Things I never, ever ate before going vegan: BeetsTurnipsCollardsSwiss Chard Things I love with all my heart in the present: All of the above. Edit: Ok, if Im completely honest I dont love turnip...
Lately my favorite grain of choice is polenta. Its cheap, easy to make, and super tasty in all its forms. I still have a variety of greens in the fridge leftover from my trip to the market last week ...
I realize I have written about Alicias Summertime Succotash before. The last time I cheated and used butter beans. Im pretty sure my body is mad at me for not eating lima beans my whole life. I...
I went to the Briarcliff Farmers Market yesterday. So exciting :) I picked up these big, beautiful collard leaves, glowing red beets, asparagus, radishes, a couple of expensive tomatoes, and yellow c...
Whoa! Its been way too long since Ive written here! Dont worry, Im still hanging there with the whole vegan thing. The past few months Ive lacked inspiration though I suppose. The lack of grea...
What do vegans eat on days that theyre not feeling particularly creative? Everything but the kitchen sink apparently. I havent made anything note-worthy lately, but just in case you wonder what we ea...
Back when I was a former vegetarian gone omnivore, Nate and I were invited over once for 5 course raw vegan meal by a super sweet couple. The reason they invited us in the first place was for our ope...
As Ive probably said a million times on here already; Nates a pasta guy. I wanted to make him something that I thought might resemble one of his old favorites, so I made these Black-Eyed Pea and Temp...
This is an old standby recipe a friend shared with me for Beef and Barley Stew. This is a simple recipe that everyone always loved, so I thought Id try it with seitan. This is snowy day sort of stew....
Granted: Much of the world still thinks that vegans are weirdos. Even as a former vegetarian, I though a vegan diet was a little extreme. No matter what end of the spectrum you fall, you cant say tha...
Last night we went out with friends for sushi. We had miso soup, edamame, tofu and veggie rolls which were delish. I guess I was feeling a little entitled today after all that healthfulness. Aft...
Im a major perfectionist. Its a real problem. Either I have all my clothes ordered by color in style in my closet, or I have the Mt. Everest of laundry. My little problem bleeds into my food photogra...
Not too long ago, albeit early in my vegan career, I decided I didnt like tofu that much. Since then, Ive become tofu obsessed. Apparently I was just buying sub-standard tofu, so each recipe just tas...
Nates a pasta guy; twirly pasta, tubular, rectangular, spherical. It doesnt matter much to him. Growing up his family had pasta night every Monday, so he got used to consuming massive quantities...
Four years ago when I was yet to be a vegan, there was a major vegan internet storm about a circulating seitan recipe. Ive tried to make my own seitan a few times, but I found that baked se...
Granola is a blessing and a curse in our house. The blessing is all its nutritional goodness; the curse is all the dishes it creates. Nate probably wont mind me telling you about his little problem. ...
Am I still alive? Indeed! Sorry to have gone of the grid for a while. I had taken a little time off to get things in order around here. I was looking through my picture files, and found a bunch of th...
My son brought home a small pumpkin after a field trip to the pumpkin patch the other day. For the first time I considered that a pumpkin could actually be eaten, and that not all pumpkin made for co...
I think this is the last day for a while that Im going to borrow recipes from other blogs....I think. The problem is that no matter how little I read this or that blog, there is alllllways something ...
Im so depressed that this picture is so bad because this burrito was SOOO good! I so admire Morgan from Little House of Veggies. Pretty much everything that is ever served at her table is incredibly&...
I was so happy to find A Fresh Dille the other day. I love the blogsphere. Theres never an end to inspiration or the likely-hood that you might bump into like-minded people. ...
I havent fallen off the vegan wagon, I promise. This perfectionist did however lose the camera battery charger. Im unfortunately one of those creative/disorganized people who generally loses somethin...
I had never heard of Jackfruit until this whole vegan adventure began. The little vegan restaurant Ive been obsessing about uses it in a million different ways. They have "fish" tacos, chalup...
Ok truly, this was the best wrap ever. The little local vegan restaurant I keep raving about here in KC has a portobello wrap that we adore. They use all the fabulous local veggies they can get their...
Today my baby turns five. I cant believe these years have passed so quickly. Hes my little apprentice, always willing to help me pour this or that in the bowl, or sprinkle a dash of this or that here...
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I drop off my youngest kiddo for preschool. I only have one more year left with my little guy at home which is totally sad (I will most certainly cry like a baby when he goe...
It is the most glorious September day here in Kansas City. The humidity of summer has already passed, so Im breaking out the flavors of fall. Yes, Im making more cupcakes, and still not losing that l...
Since this whole vegan journey began, I have kept tubs of tofu in the fridge ready to be cooked or thrown into this or that. More often than not, I happen across them in the fridge and realize the ex...
My mom is a fantastic cook, and seriously makes the best banana bread on earth! Every time I have made her recipe and shared it, people have gone on and on about how wonderful it is (and th...
I love getting a new cookbook. I think theyre the best kind of books, well, right behind historical fiction. Anyway, today I got my amazon shipment, and my long awaited copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Ov...
