Wow! I’ve really neglected Vegan Mofo this past week or so. Sorry about that folks! I’m sick, and school is busy, but doable. I’ve been cooking a lot too, but, unfortunately, I haven’t been taking pictures. So here’s a very wordy look at stuff I’ve been eating this past week.
First (one with pictures!), I found [...]

I’ve Been Branded
Today’s post is going to have to be short and sweet. I’m a master of procrastination and as a result I’ll be trading sleep for writing a research paper tonight.
I’ve injured myself cooking before, as I’m sure most people have, but this weekend I practically tattooed myself. I tripped as I was pulling a baking [...]

Chickpea Cutlets & Gravy
Having had my eye on Veganomicon’s Chickpea Cutlets recipe for a while now, it’s pretty sad that I’ve had the cookbook well over a year and just now got around to making it. I’m mainly disappointed because I found out how good they were, and learned that I’d been missing out all this time.
The recipe [...]

My first major baking FAIL
I’m very, very new to baking. New as in, I baked my very first cookies (by myself – I’ve made them with help) 2 or 3 weeks ago. I made another batch of oatmeal raisin cookies last week using a different recipe, which were much tastier. This week I wanted to make butterscotch chip cookies [...]

Raw Banana Ice Cream
I’ve been keeping frozen bananas in my freezer to snack on, but then I found another use for them: ice cream. Gena, of Choosing Raw, wrote about making raw vegan banana soft serve back in June. I tried it out last night for dessert, and… wow. It really was as good as she made it [...]

Tempeh salad & carrot fries
Tempeh is my favorite “meaty” food. I use it in a variety of dishes, and like its cousin tofu, you can transform it into the flavors of any cuisine. For dinner tonight, I wanted something relatively easy so I could focus on steadying (isn’t it a shame that even though I’m on fall break I’m [...]

I Nibble As I Cook
I feel as though I’ve been slacking off a lot the last few days. School is getting pretty stressful, and I haven’t been feeling very well either (although today I’m doing a bit better!). But those are pretty lame excuses. So here’s a real post for Vegan MoFo.
As much as I love to cook, I [...]

Vegan MoFo Survey
I can’t believe I forgot to post yesterday! Wednesdays are usually hell for me, with class from 9-2 and again from 6-9. I wasn’t even thinking about food or blogging at all. So, here’s the Vegan MoFo survey that’s been going around to make up for yesterday, and later I’ll post for today.
1. Favorite non-dairy [...]

Easiest Breakfast Pizza
In my last post I mentioned how much I loved black salt. I mean, I really love it. I also love pizza. Breakfast pizza seemed like the only answer for my lunch. (Sorry about not having more to say – I’m a little behind in my classes and I’ve gotta get caught up!)

An Almost Authentic Egg Salad
In August I moved into my first apartment after transferring to a new university, after spending two previous years living in a dorm at my old school. Dorm-living isn’t very vegan friendly, especially when you don’t have a kitchen in the building and your campus isn’t particularly concerned with providing nutritious vegan meals. I ended [...]

Cookies and a pesto pasta
I am totally going to turn into one of those old ladies who stuff food into their guests’ mouths! I love feeding people, and now that I have someone who will actually let me feed them (unlike most of my family who hear the word “vegan” and are immediately against even the idea of trying [...]

“There is no church of vegan”
Ari Solomon has written a wonderful article for the Huffington Post entitled “Who You Callin’ Vegangelical?“. He takes a look at the way vegans are perceived by omnivores – as preachy and fanatical, for example. All vegans have encountered unfriendly meat-eaters who label us as crazy and try to condemn our lifestyle and/or try to [...]

Reliving the Southern foods of youth
Although there are times where I hate to admit I grew up in the Bible-thumping South, there are aspects of living here that I enjoy. Growing up, traditional Southern foods were a staple in my family’s diet. I was raised to eat things like cornbread, cabbage, sweet potato biscuits, pound cake, and sweet iced tea. [...]
