Quickie Lentils

February 8, 2009

This dish is made extra quick and easy since it uses lots of canned items. In fact, this is such a quickie I’m feeling a smidge guilty for posting it. However, since Amy’s asked for more lentil ideas and Christie asked me to jot down what I did, here it is! 2 15oz cans of […]

Vegan smoky chipotle aioli…

January 23, 2009

Used this in a “chick’n” burrito last night. This is very “Taco Bell”-ish, which is actually what I was going for. 1 cup Vegenaise (use soy-free version) 2 tbsp brown mustard (I used smoky brown, which was nice) 1 tsp granulated garlic 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp smoked chipotle powder (to taste) 1/2 tsp […]

Mexi-Pizza Nacho Sauce Topping

January 10, 2009

Mexi-Pizza is a favorite here (and there, and there, too). This typically takes the form of a pre-made pizza shell slathered with refried beans, onions, peppers, Field-Roast Chipotle sausage slices, etc. For a vegan topping, I came up with this nacho-y topping that won a seal of approval. 2 TBSP + 1tsp Wondra(R) gravy and […]

"Pizza Pi" Garlic White Sauce…

January 5, 2009

This is surprisingly good, and damn accurate as far as I can remember. The only thing I want to do differently next time is to add in some (read: a dozen or so) roasted mashed garlic cloves, and back off the granulated garlic a bit. 2 TBSP + 1tsp Wondra(R) gravy and sauce maker 2 […]

Moroccan Stew

December 26, 2008

I notice that when I go to post a recipe, it is usually a dessert and when I read the other postings, they’re for a healthy, very veggie-focused dishes. = ) So, as I sat down to post yet another delicious dessert that I concocted for yesterday’s Christmas feast, I decided to instead share the […]

Lemon Tahini Dressing

December 24, 2008

My friend, Jikan, currently the Tenzo at Great Vow Zen Monastery gave me the following recipe. This comes from Hollyhock Cooks, a wonderful cookbook from the Hollyhock Retreat Center in British Columbia, Canada. This is a very nice dressing to top what Christie & I refer to as a ‘Monk Bowl’, as taken from a […]

Snow Day Soup

December 22, 2008

What is Snow Day Soup? It is the soup you come up with out of the ingredients you have on hand during a snow day. Yesterday I cleaned out the fridge in order to determine what was truly edible in there. Yes, I could walk to a market if I had to, but it really […]

DREW’S MEXI-TOT 7+ ish LAYER BURRITO

December 19, 2008

This is a riff on the old Taco Hell “meat & potato burrito”, only better, because it won’t give you Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease. It can be very easily veganized. For each burrito, you’ll need roughly 7-10 seasoned tater-tots. I have the magic of a convection toaster-oven to get them deep-fried crisp from frozen in about 12-15 […]

An Appreciation of Sprouts

December 15, 2008

Up until 2007 I thought Brussels Sprouts were nasty, smelly and not worth eating. When they were made in my family they were boiled until the smelled badly, were a uniform ugly greenish color, and mushy. Even when an effort was made to pick up a stalk of them fresh at a farm market the […]
