Miyoko Schinner, goddess of vegan cheeses, has opened a store where you can purchase her wonderful creations! AND they can be purchased online and shipped to you. Very very exciting, as it’s fairly time consuming to make your own quality cheeses. We just received our first order (the Fairfax), and let me tell you –…
Another Thai influenced recipe, sweet and spicy cucumbers are a favorite. This one is so easy to put together, you can make it every day! It goes well as a side to just about any dish; the cool, refreshing, crisp cucumbers in the sweet and tangy sauce, with a peanuty crunch. This recipe is adapted…
The Mediterranean way of living fits really well into the plant-based + fish lifestyle. Icing on that cake is that the food in this region is also quite delicious! The summer months are upon us, and my cravings for fresh, light, green food is beginning to peak. I want salads and fruit and fresh flavors…
I love Thai food – the flavors of sweet, salty, savory, umami – it just hits all the right places with me. Whenever I find a new recipe, I generally have to try it out pretty quickly. This green bean salad was given to me by my mother in law, and it’s delicious! I’ve made…
This year, we didn’t put up the big tree – it was all the way in the back of the attic, and had a bajillion boxes in front of it because we thought we were already going to have moved by now, so had packed up half the house already. Anyway, we still needed something……
M has NEVER liked collard greens. I was sad about this, as I always liked a good, pork-ful, slow-braised collard green. Since the CSA delivered a couple bunches of collards in the last week of delivery, I decided to go all in and make a full meal of collards, blackened fish, and black-eyed peas, hoping…
More salad dressings!! Today, I will be sharing a delightful peanut dressing that M found and made for me one day, and also a Greek dressing that’s good with a hearty salad of greens, beans, olives, tomatoes, etc. Thai Peanut Dressing M has been going out of town a bit more often recently, which makes…
Mmmm… Italian heartiness! Gathering around the table, eating lots of hearty, filling, warm food, talking and laughing with a bottle of red wine… Many good times have formed around these meals. But being GF and vegan-ish, Italian was thought to be out. But it’s not!! Persistence and the incredible work others have done make it…
There’s this Japanese restaurant we always went to for sushi and this – nasu dengaku, or basically eggplant with a miso sauce. Sadly, we don’t go anymore because they don’t have or use tamari (srsly, Nishino? You charge a LOT, and you can’t help a gluten-free patron out? Make me bring my own bottle? Come…
You know one of those things you’ll miss a lot but don’t really think about until it happens that you can’t have it anymore – tortillas. Don’t get me wrong, corn tortillas are the bomb, but a good, solid, plain, flour tortilla is irreplaceable. And you know what? I found a substitute that is JUST.…
I attribute this find to “M” yet again! He’s been great at finding new recipes for us to try, plus he’s my trusty partner in the kitchen every day. We have a nice little groove going. It’s nice to have company while cooking. He found this one in Joanne Wier’s “From Tapas to Meze” cookbook.…
Back to the recipes!! I thought I’d never have this salad again. It made me sad. But then I got happy when I learned about “Artisan Vegan Cheese.” It was a life changer. There is cheese again!! Hallelujah!! This is her adapted recipe, posted here, for the mozzarella. A couple things: the soy yogurt does…
Salads, salads, salads! You want to eat them, but you don’t want them to get boring, amiright? Here’s just a few of my favorite dressings to keep things interesting. A forewarning – some of these are very vinegar forward. I prefer it this way, not just to keep the amount of oil low (or gone),…
I’ve still got a LOT of dill (and chives) from the CSA… And they keep giving me more each week… So I’ve got to come up with more ideas! This time, a nice, light summery bean salad with a dill dressing. Mega easy! 4-5 T fresh dill, chopped 1 T fresh chives, chopped 2 stalks…
DILL OVERLOAD!! YEAH! I found a new gf cookbook that’s got some great recipes. It’s in the “links” up top, but it’s called “Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats” by Allyson Kramer. Ok, I’ve only tried 2 of the recipes, but I’m impressed! And there’s actually not one recipe I don’t want to try, which is rare…
