Full disclosure: I’ve never had a crunchwrap before. I can’t remember the last time I went to a Taco Bell or other restaurant like that – not once since I’m vegan and that’s 10 years!! But everyone is talking about crunchwraps and I love crunchy food so I made my own at home. Making crunchwraps […]

The Best Vegan Chicken Burgers Ever!
One of my favorite fast-food things to eat in my pre-vegan era – I guess that would be like 2004 B.V. – was chicken burgers. I would go to Wendy’s and get their chicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Not surprising since my favorite food was chicken and fried chicken cutlets were a staple. […]
BBQ Pulled Carrots Sandwiches
Mmm…BBQ! When Tom and I were planning our elopement in North Carolina, we were more excited about eating authentic Southern barbecue than we were about getting married. Seriously. We watched endless barbecue cooking challenges and travel food shows on television. We read up about how to find the best, most authentic barbecue (they suggested restaurants […]

Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free Individual Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Pizza
Lately, I’ve been craving pizza. A lot. But I didn’t want to make a giant pie with yeast and kneading and the oven. I wanted pizza that was quick, easy and cooked on the stove top. And crunchy. I like my pizza crispy as opposed to chewy. That’s where flatbread pizza comes in. I’ve shared […]
Double Black Bean Tofu Cheeseburgers with Mori-Nu Silken Tofu
While I like to consider myself something of a tofu aficionado, I’m not so experienced using silken tofu. I think I used it once or twice while attempting tofu omelets and Matzoh Brei. But otherwise, I don’t think about using it too much. Now I’m trying to change that and learn my way around silken […]
Carrot Dogs
This 4th of July, I had to get on the carrot dog bandwagon. I’ve seen pictures on social media of all these carrot dogs and they always look so good. So as the 4th of July approached, I started telling Tom about carrot dogs. He laughed at the idea, not thinking that carrots could become […]
Vegan Meatball Parmigiana Hero Made with Neat Italian Mix and Egg Replacer

Curried Tofu and Butternut Squash Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Spicy Vegan Feta Aioli
Every time I get a butternut squash, I agonize over what to do with it. It is my favorite of all the winter squashes because it’s not as sweet as the others. I love the creaminess of this squash and it is so versatile which is why I struggle over what to do with […]
Buffalo Tofu Po’ Boy
There are 3 things I love: tofu, putting slaw on sandwiches and anything Buffalo-flavored. I have said it before and I’ll say it again: I would eat my shoe if it had Buffalo sauce on it. Over the years, I have made and posted the recipes for: Buffalo Tofu Fries Buffalo Lentil Burger “Chicken-Fried” Seitan […]

Qrunch Green Chile Burgers with Yellow Rice and Roasted Vegetable Medley Topped with Jalapeno Pepper Mayo
Over the years I have developed about a dozen vegan burger recipes – partly because I love burgers and partly because there aren’t many prepared vegan burgers that I like enough to buy. To me, most of them don’t have a lot of flavor and the texture leaves a lot to be desired. And finding […]

Welcome to another edition of VeganMofo 2013, where hundreds and hundreds of bloggers spend a month committed to everything vegan food. One of the problems with living in the middle of nowhere is that I often don’t have access to all the amazing new products that everyone seems to be raving about. We […]

Trudy’s "Beefy" Burgers

Roasted Beet Burgers
Beets are one of those foods that I always had “rules” for. When I was a kid, I loved beets…out of a can. They had to be cold; I would not eat them warm. Yuck! And it was best if they were whole, not sliced. Sliced was ok but whole was more fun. My mother […]
Moussaka Burger with Bechamel Cheese Sauce and Greek Salad
My plan was to dedicate November to dishes that would be great to serve on Thanksgiving. However, the response to the pictures I posted on Facebook to my Moussaka Burger was huge and I promised to post the recipe as soon as VeganMoFo was over. I’m a few days late but as you know, Hurricane […]
