Sweet Treats For Sweet People
For friends who enjoy sweet vegan treats, Christmas stretches on and on for days. Below are my final gifts for giving, VCIYCJ‘s gorgeous caramel pecan bars… And sweet coconut and cashew dark chocolate bars, a kind of mistake that turned out quite delicious. The tower of sweetness, complete for Rocky Road cookie dividers, sat upon [...]
Christmas, Part II
I’ve said many times that when an omni puts in the effort to accomodate for a vegan’s diet it is considered a high compliment. I was flattered greatly by my Christmas, part II: brunch at my brother’s, home to two of the most darling little gals, my nieces. My sis-in-law went all out, locating brunch [...]
Christmas Cookie Marathon!
I had to be very selective about who received a holiday cookie care package this year. Next year, when I am through studying to be a master of the universe, you’ll all get them. The chocolate chip cookie is a must in any cookie assortment. Using Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar‘s recipe I got [...]

Chocolate Pumpkin Pie & the 5th Graders
Having a big, fat still-healthy pumpkin leftover from October, I decided against purchasing the easy can of pumpkin puree for my chocolate pumpkin pie for my class’s holiday breakfast.

Fiscal irresponsibility is a very NYC trait. Surviving a week, a semester, a milestone in the big, mean city makes an [...]
Days of Daiya
I have Daiya, among other vegan treats for my upcoming holiday cookie marathon. But yes, Daiya–the hot topic vegan cheese. I have taken it apart before but never had a stash of my own to experiment with.I don’t know what to make with shredded cheese. It’s been so long! Starting basic, I whipped up a [...]
LI Vegan: Tula Kitchen
I learned of Bay Shore’s Tula Kitchen after the New York Times got sloppy seconds to my thorough blog reporting of Three Brothers of Rockville Centre. After eye-balling the menu, with echoes of ”sesame-crusted tofu” and “speared seitan over coconut basmati”, I decided that Tula Kitchen was a must-hit. Overcoming a blizzard’s aftermath, the Greek’s [...]
Snew / Bone Shaking Brunch
I always thought the past tense of snow ought to be snew. Anyway, New York got hit with its first layer of winter snow this weekend. (Quick aside: Snow makes everyone completely mad; have you ever noticed this?) Venturing out for brunch at Bone Shakers, I got to enjoy the fluffy white fresh and newness [...]
Get Thee Into the Kitchen
I’ve recently emerged from a kitchen hiatus, being inundated with a variety of pressing obligations and commitments. So as I catch my breath, I resist the urge to click for lunch delivery. I take baby steps back in the kitchen. Here’s how to get your groove back: Roasting veggies is an easy start: cut, toss [...]
