Vegan McMuffins & Hash Browns
Back in my pre-vegan days, I was a big fan of McDonald’s Egg McMuffins with Canadian bacon. When I used to go to vegan potlucks in New Jersey, I wanted to bring something to wow the crowd during brunch meetups. Making a healthier, cruelty-free Vegan McMuffin was easier than I imagined. Finding hash browns that […]

Asparagus Risotto
To be able to cook delicious meals for my gluten-free and Celiac friends, I bought The Gluten-Free Vegan by Susan O’Brien. One of the first meals I remember making from the book was this recipe for Asparagus Risotto. I had never made risotto before, and it was a bit time consuming, but definitely worth it! […]

Vegan Vietnamese Hoagie (Bánh Mì Chay) & Sweet Potato Fries
Being married to a Vietnamese-American means that I get the low down on all of the restaurants that have authentically made Vietnamese dishes. My husband is a hard critic of Vietnamese food and rightly so. I’ve had a few Vietnamese hoagies (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Yeah, I called them “hoagies.” I’m originally […]

Chickpea Shepherd’s Pie
One of the great things about following hundreds of other VeganMofo’ers is the creativity and variety of recipes you stumble upon. For the first Vegan Iron Chef Challenge, the secret ingredient was chickpeas. I ran across this divine recipe at the Unhealthy Vegan’s blog for a chickpea-based shepherd’s pie. Oh my! It had complex flavors […]

White Bean & Cauliflower Soup with Truffle Oil
One of my all-time favorite vegan upscale restaurants was Horizons in Philadelphia. It is closed for business, as the owners Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby are opening a new restaurant called Vedge (to be open in the coming weeks hopefully). A great recipe that I made from their Horizons: New Vegan Cuisine cookbook is the […]

Mock Chicken Noodle Soup
One of my favorite soups that I’ve made from the endless vegan cookbooks I own is this Mock Chicken Noodle Soup from Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons by Nava Atlas. When given a variety of options of what I dinner I might put together, my omnivorous husband frequently picks this soup. Instead […]

Maple-Apple Cider Tofu with Stuffing & Apple Cranberry Chutney
Around this time last year, I stumbled onto this amazingly creative and delicious recipe by Vegan Dad. It’s a perfect meal for Canadian or American Thanksgiving. The flavors were intricate and, while a little time-consuming to make, the final product was worth it. Here is my picture, but feel free to check out the link […]

Spicy Chickpeas & Kale
I’ve been on a chickpeas kick lately and love tossing it with any greens I can get my hands on. Luckily, we’ve been getting lots of greens in our CSA. I found this recipe for Spicy Chickpeas and decided to dress it up a bit with some sauteed kale. I omitted the cilantro (because I […]

Creamy Vegan Mac & Cheese
Ever since the advent of Daiya, vegan mac and cheese (and pizza, quesadillas, etc.) have not been the same! A vegan mac and cheese recipe that I created myself and have made numerous times with success is posted below. Keep in mind that I never quite measure anything, just adjust to taste. These are only […]

Delicata Squash Soup & Truffled Fingerling Potatoes
In keeping with the theme of local fall produce, I decided to make a hearty soup using the delicata squash in my CSA share for the week and veganic organic onions from Unexpected Farm. I love supporting this Watkins Glen farm when I find them at the Ithaca Farmers Market. Also, while I was at […]
