Vegan Marshmallows, Baby

July 27, 2009

I have two words for you. Vegan. Marshmallows. I kid you NOT. After the last debacle around vegan marshmallows made with Emes not-at-all-vegan Sure-Gel it has been kind of a lost junk food. That brown rice based fluff stuff was OK for making rice krispy treats, but it wasn’t something you could put on a […]

Ginger Garlic Tempeh & String Bean Bun – Food Porn Version

July 15, 2009

I’ve decided just to write about cooking rather than always wait until I have a recipe “just right” to post. It will help me recreate delicious things so I can put together a recipe later. These posts will be noted “Food Porn” to show that there’s no recipe and have the tag FoodPorn as well, […]

Ginger Miso Dressing

July 11, 2009

Tonight Christie tasted the dressing and we both agreed that this one needs to be saved. For sometime now she’s wanted something kind of like the ginger dressing they serve over monk bowls at Blossoming Lotus. I’ve wanted something kind of like the Hollyhock dressing (from Hollyhock Cooks)they serve at Great Vow. This dressing is […]

Vegan mushroom "clam-less" chowder.

July 9, 2009

Somebody in my life who’s been dipping their toe in the waters of vegetarian eating has been wanting New England-style clam chowder. This is a recipe mash-up that I came up with that works pretty well. Still missing that sea-food-y taste, but I think if I add powdered kelp, we may get even closer. IMO, […]

We enjoyed these delicious, hearty salads for dinner outside in the cool breeze this evening. Dressing 1/3 liquid from 1 can of mandarin oranges 2 teaspoons agave 2 tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos […]

Simple Split Pea Soup

June 29, 2009

This is another installment of the ‘Ode to an Inexpensive Pressure Cooker‘ series. One of our favorite, in fact. Yes, this can be made without the pressure cooker, but I highly recommend one. I haven’t bought canned beans since we purchased it. So, here’s the soup. There’s comments about doing stove top, some variations, etc. […]

Saag Spiced Beet Greens

June 15, 2009

I was inspired by a radish greens & kale saag a friend of mine mentioned recently and wanted to give it a try. While at the co-op I was thrilled with some gorgeous beets with lush greens and brought them home to try out. I am going to be making this again and soon, so […]

Seitan Bacon

May 5, 2009

So I says to myself, I says, “Dave, you could probably make something pretty darned bacony by layering seitan that’s reddish brown with seitan that’s kinda blonde.” And I thinks, “Eureka! You’ll be all kinds of Internet famous!” But then I thinks to myself, I thinks, “before you register davehadthisreallygreatideaaboutbaconseitan.com, you should Google that idea.” […]

Wrong and Wonderful Sushi

May 4, 2009

I made some sushi today (Alton Brown’s rice method is dead simple and perfect), just the standard spicy (fake) tuna roll, spicy and non-spicy versions of a Cali roll with fake crab and chayote instead of avo (sorry, Sherri), and random veggie roll (cheap bag o’ broccoli slaw makes an excellent, crunchy mix) with tofu, […]
