All About Me

November 12, 2010

Well the “me” in question is Sherri, there are occasionally a few other Me’s writing here. I had a 2.5 hour interview, including “technical assessment” (translation: test) this afternoon, had a haircut by my friend at her fabulous VEGAN salon, and dinner was some Tofurky slices on a roll with Vegenaise and some grainy mustard.

First Try: Savory Corn Chowder with Black Beans

November 11, 2010

In the latest installment of “follow the squash”, I took the overly sweet gratin I made Tuesday night and turned it into a pretty awesome chowder tonight. There won’t be a recipe for this since it goes from some roasted squash we weren’t too fond of to fantastic squash & cashew sauce to a squash […]

MoFo’ing When You Don’t Wanna

November 10, 2010

Have I mentioned the utter chaos of our house? The fact that 2/3 of the kitchen, if not more, has been moved largely into boxes in our dining room for the past couple of days. Today I got to start put the kitchen somewhat back together, but that was after I destroyed some of the […]

First Try: Potato & Winter Squash Gratin

November 10, 2010

I finally tried out my idea for a gratin! The sauce I experimented with last week using winter squash & raw cashews as a base turned out great and I ended up with quite a lot of it leftover. My mind immediately turned to the scalloped potatoes that I had as a kid. Only better. […]

Organics to You – November 8, 2010

November 8, 2010

Craziness abounds  here at our house. Most rooms are covered in 3 inch holes into the walls with cellulose insulation blow into them. Tomorrow they will do this to our kitchen. This job, which will certainly reduce our heating costs, has meant that we’ve moved most of the furniture and stuff out of the first […]

I love Thai food. The soups, the curries, the stir-fries, the salad rolls, the big fat rice noodles… You get the idea. I’ve played around with a few favorite dishes at home, including making curry paste from scratch. In addition to some online resources, I’ve had good luck with the cookbook Real Vegetarian Thai for […]

First Try: Winter Squash Sauce

November 5, 2010

For some time now I’ve really love the pureed squash sauce used by Hot Lips Pizza on some of their pies. I’ve also seen mention the use of squash as the base for a rich sauce. I’d occasionally blended squash into stews to add flavor as well as thicken things a bit and we liked […]

Vegan on the Go – Part 2

November 4, 2010

My last post covered options to explore when dining out, but what about those times when a vegan is truly on the go. How do you manage getting food during long trips, particularly air travel? Today air travel is fraught with all kinds of challenges. Not only do travelers now have to pick between intimate […]

Vegan on the Go – Part 1

November 3, 2010

As part of Try Vegan Week this year I volunteered to mentor someone who was new to being vegan. I’ve been vegan for a few years now and hoped that maybe I could offer some insight to another person. One of the questions my mentee has asked me was what to do when you have […]

Food Love: Soy Curls

November 2, 2010

In honor of VeganMoFo, and bowing to the need to come up with a whole lot of vegan food to write about, here’s a review of a product I’ve come to love in 2010! I don’t have any ties to Butler Foods and wasn’t given a sample to try out. This review comes purely from […]
