Kids, I think it’s safe to say I have turned into a (vegan) bacon-aholic. First there was coconut bacon. Then I did the tempeh thing. And now I’m on to eggplant. If I haven’t convinced you to invest in liquid smoke yet, what the what are you waiting for? [As much as I hate ending the sentence in a preposition, it doesn’t have the same punch when written grammatically correct. Cool?] The tempeh was so good I made a double batch within the week. Kyle still hasn’t tasted it. I’m a pig. <— bacon pun… Read more >

I have the coolest friends. Ever since we started budgeting my besties have been awesome about making dinners together (as opposed to expensive meals out). Last Friday we made vegan tortilla soup with Ethel. And this past Friday Alene came over with some groceries for this feast… We started out with appetizers. Alene fell prey to the delightfulness of Whole Foods and impulse bought some chips, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Obviously I didn’t partake in the vino. It was kinda drizzly weather outside but Kyle still manned the BBQ. Tofurky kielbasa… Read more >

I feel like I’m clinging onto summer with this breakfast. Home-made banana pancakes with strawberries and peaches. This was my first sweet breakfast in a long time. I finally finished off that massive batch of vegan gluten free pancakes that I made a while back, so I had to do actual work in the morning for these. The effort was worth it, but I wish I’d had the energy to make a huge batch so there were leftovers. Part one of lunch was half a sweet potato with tofu scramble. I’ve been on… Read more >

Monday started bright and early (well, if we are being technical about it, I never went to bed Sunday night…sooo…I guess it started at the stroke of midnight?). Whatever. I got home around 8 am and immediately showered, put on my PJs, and started some oats on the stove. I added a chopped gala to cook with the oats. By the way, this was a pretty hefty batch (in the 2 cup range). Can you believe this bowl was only half the yield? I was feeling crazy so I decided to bust open a… Read more >

I probably like pizza just as much as the next person, however, it’s not a food I eat very option given the primary ingredient (cheese) doesn’t have a place in my diet. But that’s no excuse (especially when cheese-less versions are just as delish and easy to make at home). While attempting to fit all the latest Costco buys in the fridge/freezer, I came across this delish Udi’s pizza crust. Sneaky bugger was hiding way in the back! In case you missed my previous review of this product, I loved it. Udi’s pizza… Read more >
