  • Pot Sticker Stir-Fry

      That’s right, potstickers in a stir fry!  I first saw this idea on Eat This, Not That.  I think I had it for lunch five days a week for two months after that.  So addictive.

  • Tofu “Ceviche” w/ Salty Sesame Crisps

    Yes, ceviche made with tofu.  Now vegans can enjoy the delicious refreshing flavors of ceviche.     Plus this completely eliminates the difficulty of making ceviche – no concern about proper grade of fish, how long do you soak it in the citrus juice, blah, blah, blah.  Nothing to worry about here!   This is really…

  • Leftover Makeover: Chili Cheese Quesadilla

    That’s right.  Chili in a quesadilla.    Delicious smoky leftover soy chorizo chili to be exact.

  • Slow-Cooked Soy Chorizo & Bean Chili

      I made a giant vat of chili.   Despite the heat.  It’s never too hot for a good chili.    I am talking enormous amounts of smoky comforting chili goodness that is currently taking over my fridge, freezer, and belly.

  • Scallion-"Cheddar"-"Bacon" Burgers

    About time I made another veggie burger recipe!  My Awesome Veggie Burgers (I know, I know, I’m so clever – nice title, eh?) are very much my kind of food, but in an attempt to make what I thought was “most people’s” taste in food, I made something I can’t. stop. eating.   Creamy white…

  • Creamy Vegetable Bolognese Pasta

      This is the first recipe I vegan-ized after my vegan switch!   It is a brilliant tasty recipe for vegetable bolognese sauce from the lovely Giada DeLaurentiis.  And veganizing it is super-simple – just swap some Tofutti cream cheese for the mascarpone cheese the recipe calls for, leave out the parm, and you have…

  • Smoky Baked Corn Dogs

    Why isn’t my page covered in some kind of red white and blue dessert or drink right now?  Why the lack of patriotic colors, you ask? Cause I know, napkins don’t count.   Well, truthfully, my mind just kept drawing a blank when it came to tri-colored goodies to celebrate today.  Sure, I thought of…

  • Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers

    Stuffed peppers have arrived!     I’m really loving the rice in these peppers.  I made a pesto-flavored water that I used to cook the rice instead of plain water!  Pesto flavored rice with no oil 🙂    Pretty darn good.

  • Hoisin Lettuce Wraps

    Alright, I’m going to get a little egotistical here.  This is one of those meals where I took my first bite, and just couldn’t help but say “damn, this is good!”  It’s everything I hope for when I start to make a recipe – easy, fast, healthy, delicious, beautiful, and didn’t require in-depth recipe-testing.   …

  • Stir-Fry with Spicy Orange Sauce

      A favorite restaurant re-creation success!  A Chinese restaurant that I frequently got takeout from makes this wonderful spicy orange chicken.  It’s one of those things that’s so good, my boyfriend and I were incapable of going there and not ordering it.    Their irresistible sauce was a very unnatural bright red hue, and was…
