As a lifelong vegetarian and vegan for many years, there are certain food items I never imagined I would eat. And that’s OK with me. There are so many amazing veggie dishes to try. In recent years, as interest in plant based diets has grown, industrious people have created some amazing recipes for dishes I never imagined I would get to eat. Quiches and frittatas rank high on the list of things I never thought would be properly veganized. But, I was wrong! The secret is using chickpea flour to create the base to hold your veggies. I made these for the first time today and was surprised how fun ..read more

Chocolate Silk Pudding

Vegan chocolate silken tofu pudding For years I avoided tofu because of conflicting reports about how it affects women’s breast health and reports that overall women get too much soy. I drink soy milk in my coffee every morning, so I thought that should be my only soy product and I avoided all tofu products. Recently, I decided to give tofu another try and I am so glad I did because this pudding is amazing. While I highly encourage each person to make their own food choices, what’s clear is that tofu is a good source of protein and it contains all 9 essential amino acids. It also contains i ..read more

Fudgy Sweet Potato Pudding

I put a sweet potato in a steamer basket intending to use it for lunch, but it didn’t steam in time for my sweet potato, black bean, vegan cheese, and quinoa quesadillas. Lunch was still yummy, but I wanted to use the sweet potato for something that would last a few days, since we weren’t hungry. I remembered making a thick, fudgy pudding from Angela at Oh She Glows. I tweaked her recipe, substituting medjool dates for maple syrup. The recipe I used (and love) is below. This is a thick dessert, more like creamy fudge you eat with a spoon, not like silk tofu pudding. If you prefer a lighter ..read more

Vegan Irish Soda Bread with Carrots, Currants, & Pumpkin Seeds

In honor of the latest season of the Great British Bake Show, I am making a vegan version of one of the dishes presented on the show each week. This week I made Irish soda bread. I’m not sure I have ever had it before, but somehow it seems like a familiar bread. I’ve certainly seen it a lot and was eager to try it. I tweaked a recipe from Anna Jones book A Modern Way to Eat. Her version uses 200 ml each of yogurt and water. I think this mix is meant to mimic buttermilk, which is the usual liquid used in Irish soda bread. I followed her recipe faithfully and found my mix was far too wet! I had ..read more

Vegan Florentines

Delicious and low sugar vegan florentine cookies I’m thrilled that another season of the Great British Baking Show has come to Netflix. The show was delayed this year because of Covid-19. It’s a joy to have another season. To celebrate, I am making one veganized bake from each week’s show. Week 2 featured “biscuits,” or what Americans would call “cookies”. I’d never made florentines before so went to the web to search for a recipe. I found this yummy one at Lazy Kat Kitchen and made a few minor tweaks to the recipe. The cookies are outstanding. Truly outstanding. I’m so glad that because of th ..read more

Turmeric, Ginger, Carrot, and OJ Smoothie

I don’t have a Vitamix. My sister and her hubby got one as a wedding present. She raved about it and then stopped using it, which tends to be what happens with kitchen appliances. I am sure that it would be an amazing tool and so far I just can’t justify spending $500+ on a blender. I have an Oster with a glass bowl and it does a good job. It won’t puree soups to silky perfection and I don’t feed it ice cubes, but it makes a good, although pulpy, smoothie. (Tip: if you don’t like the pulp, it’s easy to remove with a strainer.) I kept seeing variations of this recipe pop up on my Instagram fee ..read more

sliced vegan peanut butter, chocolate chip, banana bread By luck or happenstance this recipe was one of the first vegan baked goods I came across in 2018 when I moved into a place with a kitchen. It was so easy to make and so delicious I thought all vegan recipes on the web were going to work out this well. Not so! This recipe deserves to be shared because it’s so darn good and reliable. I’ve made it a few dozen times and it always tastes so good I start fantasizing about opening my own vegan coffee shop and serving this bread. Prosterations to Madhuram of Eggless Cooking for creating this fan ..read more

Chocolate Covered Coconut Bliss Balls

Some days you just need some bliss balls. I like to make these in the afternoon, have a few as soon as the outer chocolate shell hardens, and then finish them off for breakfast the next morning. Who says you can’t roll your oats in chocolate and call it breakfast? This is a very forgiving recipe. I typically start with the oats, a little sweetener, some tahini or nut butter and then throw in whatever else I’ve got. Hemp, chia, and flax seeds all work. Coconut flakes, dates, other dried fruit (apricots, tart cherries, cranberries), and nuts all add their own magical appeal. I add a dash of sea ..read more

banana chocolate chip walnut muffins Just trying saying those words without getting hungry. Bananas, chocolate chips, and walnuts, all mixed up into delicious, sweet muffins. This is one of my favorite “go to” recipes. It’s easy to make, takes only 22 minutes to bake, and tastes yummy every time. I adapted my recipe from the fabulous book 150 Vegan Muffins. It’s a great book with every type of sweet and savory muffin your vegan heart desires. Flour The recipe calls for all-purpose flour. That’s a great option. I have also successfully made this recipe with whole wheat pastry flour. I’ve also m ..read more

loaf of bread fresh from the oven When my partner and I moved in together, we both moved from apartments where we didn’t have a kitchen. I was excited by the idea of having a place to cook with a full-size fridge and an oven. I bought cooking gadgets I knew we’d need like a spatula for Sunday morning pancakes and a garlic press for almost everything else. I waited for a Williams Sonoma sale and splurged on a large, shiny, stainless steel pan with a lid. It’s a gorgeous piece of kitchen equipment and I love it. The other cooking implement I bought was this Dutch oven. As a vegan I have to watch ..read more
