Goodbye, Summer
Goodbye, dear summer. You moved so swiftly through your weeks. But first, a few more bites… Goodbye, peak season for juicy and tender summer fruits. Soon it’ll be time for apples, pumpkins and figs. Goodbye, peaches and characteristically-summer stone fruit, best warm-skinned and taunt on the beach. Goodbye, grilled peaches, a different entity altogether, may [...]
Vegan New England, Part 1
My cousin got married in Cohasset, Massachusetts over the weekend, so it was time for a New England roadtrip! I was so impressed with vegan offerings up north and continue to be awed by how vegan consciousness has expanded, resulting in top-notch food options across our great country. And I’m not done! I have reported [...]
B.L.T.
Some days are meant for doing nothing. That’s right, no-thing. Even this B.L.T. seemed to be too much effort. Toasting bread, frying up tempeh leftovers, slicing veggies and spreading Vegenaise was about all I could take. I don’t even know what I sprinkled on the potatoes before throwing them in the oven. So here, a [...]
The Real-Deal Vegan Brunch
On sunny Sunday, August 1, 2010, I found inspiration in the pages of The Electrician‘s omnivorous cook books as he manually labored in his yard. A proper vegan bunch! Complete with the works: traditional brunch staples, both sweet and savory, served on vintage China and vividly colored fabric with tasty adult beverages… a brunch that [...]
Monday, Monday
The updated T.V. Dinner Mondays I try to cook for the week. Try being the operative word as social engagements and erratic cravings often leave leftovers to sit lonely in the fridge. After many lessons learned I devised a simple menu for this week–a protein, starch and vegetable that would reheat nicely and keep me [...]
Lunch: It’s What’s For Dinner {Dunch Report}
It’s too hot for 3 meals a day. Here are my recent dunch highlights. Urban Rustic makes a mean Club Sandwich, the all-vegan Unclub. I’ve gone on about it before, yes. [Tofurky, Vegenaise, Dijon mustard, strips of tempeh bacon, local tomatoes and sprouts in between three slices of soft, toasted spelt bread.] Nothing fancy, I know, [...]
Vegan Missionaries
Home has many shapes and forms. This particular evening, in Green River, Wyoming, it came in the form of the Coachman Inn, yes, but more the huge sky and rock formations that surrounded the cluster stop on the way to the great Flaming Gorge. But morning brought us back onto I-80 West, heading to our [...]
Fall Cafe
I pass Fall Cafe in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Monday through Friday when I go to work. And Monday through Friday I look at the chalkboard sign hanging in the window announcing their Saturday-only vegan brunch plate! Thing is, I’m never near my job on Saturday. Usually I am nestled in a quiet dead-end in the [...]
Spice Girl
I have a real problem with running out for Thai lunch specials during the work week. In hopes to quell the nagging whim, I thought I ought to make something I’d want to eat come 12:10. With a recently expired tub of tofu to utilize, I opted to whip up a traditional tofu scramble, incorporating [...]
Food Love {Never Eat Your Heart Out} {Half Kidding}
See this food? I have eaten it and it has helped me to move from here to there to have me here typing this to you. See it? I put it in my mouth and chewed. Yeah, so what but: Have you ever paid attention to this process? Followed a bite from one side of [...]
How To Date a Vegan Food Blogger, Cliff Notes/Spring Version
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 [...]
