birthday gluttony

Posted in recipes, tagged , , , , , , , on July 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Oh, sweet sweetness, did I ever eat my way through my birthday. Nothing beats hangin’ out with my best boy and the other birthday girl, our kitty cat Mädchen. The day held nothing particularly noteworthy aside from the food, so let’s get to it, shall we? My first attempt at homemade ravioli. I found a [...]

poppy-rock

Posted in recipes, tagged , on April 21, 2010 | 7 Comments »

In preparation for the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (ours benefiting Try Vegan PDX/Vegan Iron Chef), I’ve been messin’ about with tasty experiments. Along with the cinnamon sugar cookies I wanted to take poppy seed cake, but you can’t easily sell slices, what with the poppy seed filling squishing out. What to do? Here’s what I did. Experiment #1: [...]

it’s cinnaminny

Posted in recipes, tagged , on April 12, 2010 | 4 Comments »

They’re Mrs. Fields cinnamon sugar cookies, twice removed. A friend of mine sent me a copycat recipe she found, knowing it would be easy to veganize. Sure was. I’ve never had the original cookie so I can’t tell you how close it is, but it was crazy good. The texture is light and fluffy yet has [...]

she was a fool for bread

Posted in recipes, tagged on March 3, 2010 | 3 Comments »

  I love bread. I love bread so much and so unconditionally that if bread cheated on me I would only blame myself. I’d go on a diet and buy sexy underwear and pretend I like all its favorite things so it wouldn’t leave me. I don’t know if it’s because we’re having an early [...]

junk food (sort of)

Posted in general, recipes, tagged on February 24, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I so wanted to serve this on a paper plate, but that’s just not in my nature—I don’t know that I’ve ever purchased paper plates. I was going for the fried chicken take-out thing, but this ended up being not nearly as low-rent as I’d hoped (although I guarantee you it was cheaper than take-out). [...]

raisin bread

Posted in recipes, tagged , , on February 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Late last week a friend posted on Facebook that she’d made French toast with homemade raisin bread. Holy crap, that sounded awesome. I got her recipe and it was waaaay easy to veganize, so off to the store to pick up some soymilk powder and raisins. I threw it all in the bread machine and [...]

more trial and error and success

Posted in recipes, tagged , , on February 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »

  Of my two experiments the other night, this is the one that worked. It’s chocolate chips, hempseed, and unsweetened shredded coconut, sprinkled with a little bit o’ turbinado. It tasted as good as it looks. The one that didn’t work so swell was the Daiya cheddar; it tasted great but the one tablespoon of shreds [...]

happy belated x-mas

Posted in recipes, tagged , on December 31, 2009 | 4 Comments »

As evidenced by my holiday decorations (see the X-mas mushroom above), I don’t do much deckin’ the halls. We did, however, have a surprise quicky feast with an old friend. Luckily one grocery store was open so we could do more than Tofurky franks. A bit predictable, sure, but still good. Tofurky roast, mashed potatoes, [...]

garlic cheescuits

Posted in general, recipes, tagged , on October 20, 2009 | 5 Comments »

A while back, the Teese website had mentioned someone used their cheddar to veganize Red Lobster’s garlic and cheese biscuits. And I said “Someday.” Happy someday, everybody. I used my usual biscuit recipe  and added one-third cup of Daiya cheddar shreds (a friend and I recently split a 5-pound bag at Food Fight!), a fistful [...]

fall food

Posted in recipes, tagged , , , on October 7, 2009 | 5 Comments »

I’m going to apologize for this once and once only: It is autumn. I live way north. The sun goes down very early now and will soon go down disgustingly early, so my dinnertime photos for the next several (that sounds like a lot—we’ll see) months will be artificially lit. I will do my best. [...]
