Ever since I saw the Philadelphia’s Memphis Taproom on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives and learned it had a couple of vegan options, I’ve been wanting to go. The draw? Their vegan “bacon”. Not a packaged meat analog but coconut. Smoked coconut, smoked in a smoker. This ingenious creation is used in their vegan B.L.T. and graces the [...]

I’d like to cook a proper Thanksgiving feast, but it’s not that simple unfortunately. It’d have to be a reheated prepared meal. And thankfully, that ain’t bad at all. With a Whole Foods near, it’s convenient enough. I ordered their Vegan Field Roast with an extra side of Brussels and popped it in the oven before [...]

Above all, feed them well. (Vegan white cheese pizza with cashew ricotto dollops, tempeh roll and veggie meatball hero from 3 Brothers) Stock your pantry with friendly items. (Pineapple hot fudge soy ice cream sundae with sliced banana) Buy a separate vegan-only grill for the Grill. (BBQ-grilled tofu with roasted Brussels and crispy fries) See [...]

With the Wolf Moon, I ate ravenously this weekend. If it wasn’t the moon then it was the cold. And if it wasn’t the cold it was my hungry heart looking for satiety. Here’s the the start of the ever-afflicting relationship 15. The Electrician fed me well, whipping up the braised seitan with Brussels sprouts, [...]
