Pumpkin Pie
One of the greatest things about fall is the abundance of pumpkins and dishes created with pumpkins. One of the traditional desserts I make year after year is pumpkin pie. My all-time favorite recipe comes from Tofu Cookery by Louise Hagler. I’ve tried other vegan pumpkin pies and none come close to this recipe. The […]

Chickpea & Red Quinoa Salad
Preparing colorful salads makes eating my veggies that much more pleasurable. In this salad, I combine ingredients that by themselves are delicious and healthy, but together, make a gastronomic masterpiece. (This also is my entry into Vegan Mofo’s Iron Chef Challenge #1 for chickpeas.) Enjoy! Chickpea & Red Quinoa Salad 1 head chopped romaine lettuce […]

Acorn Squash with Cashew Stuffing
Fall is the perfect time of year for all kinds of squash. We’ve particularly grown a fondness for acorn squash for its sweet taste after roasting it. You can roast squash in the oven, stuff it, saute it, etc. for endless meal possibilities. To make this dish, preheat oven on 350 degrees. Cut the acorn […]

Red Potato Soup
I love fall and when I start getting an abundance of red potatoes in my CSA. Red potato soup has been a favorite of mine as well for the past couple of years. I found a simple recipe from the Potato Patch website for red potato soup. I used a combination of rice and almond […]

Vegan Challah
I’ve been called an “honorary Jew” by one of my Jewish best friends. To celebrate my Jewish brethren (even though I am a goy/gentile), I made vegan challah bread last year. Since we’re in the middle of the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah just passing and Yom Kippur starting tomorrow), I’m posting this recipe from VegNews […]

Chickpea Noodle Soup
It has been soup weather for weeks now in upstate New York and that means one thing: soup and more soup. I recently made the Chickpea Noodle Soup from Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Instead of using soba noodles, I used cut spaghetti noodles and the soup came out wonderful. I omitted the mushrooms (as […]

Apple Strudel
In honor of all of the Oktoberfests and Apple Harvest Festivals that are going on this time of year, I recently made the apple strudel recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. This cookbook is one of my standby cookbooks for desserts. I’ve enjoyed many of Colleen’s recipes, but this was my […]

Mom’s Crockpot Chili
This is my veganized version of my mom’s infamous chili recipe. I would always eat the beans first (and avoid the meat) as my favorite part of the meal! Since I loved the beans so much, my mom would double the amount she put in! While I usually make this recipe in a slow cooker, […]
