Vegan mushroom stroganoff

  I thought this dish was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC.  I wanted to hoard it all and not share even a bite with Kyle.  But of course I didn’t do that.  Disclaimer: I have no idea what stroganoff is, so there’s a chance I altered the recipe so much that it’s unrecognizable as a stroganoff.  The addition of the mustard and nooch makes it taste very similar to a creamy dijon chicken recipe my mom used to make, though.  Which I’d forgotten about until I made this.  Mmmm…   Mushroom Stroganoff [vegan, gluten free] Ingredients: 2 tbsp earth… Read more >

The week’s recap

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned.  And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule.

Leftovers multiple ways

Last weekend we went to Veggie Grill for takeout.  You get a free entree for your birthday and since you have until the end of the month to use it, I was almost out of time!  I decided to try something new (I figured since it was free I should order something that I wouldn’t ordinarily get).  I hate to say it but I may have OD-ed on the All Hail Kale Salad. I didn’t feel like a salad, but I didn’t want a sandwich or burger either (I wasn’t gonna do the wheat thing,… Read more >

MoFo recap

Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan.  I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian.  But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food.  I love it actually.  I eat it often.  And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats.  October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky   October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce   October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie   October… Read more >
