This is my new favorite salad. If I could only ever have one kind of salad again for the rest of my life, it would be this one. First of all, it’s the prettiest salad I’ve ever made. It’s filled with all different colors from the greens, the red cabbage, the carrots, the red onions […]

Vegan Ice Cream Bon Bons and Review of NadaMoo Dairy-Free Desserts
Let me tell you about me and ice cream. Don’t expect a love story, though, because that’s not it. As a kid I liked ice cream. Of course I did; what child doesn’t like ice cream? But I didn’t love it. When the ice cream truck would drive by, the “Pop Goes the Weasel” […]
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 […]
Baked Cauliflower “Mac” and Cheese with Peas and Review of Teese Vegan Cheddar Cheese
We all love mac and cheese but now that the weather is getting warmer and our sweaters are put away, it’s time to lighten up our usual dishes. Since cauliflower is the new kale and people are using it for everything, it only made sense to use it for a low-carb substitute for pasta. Mac […]
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 […]
Buffalo Tempeh Meatballs and Super Bowl/Puppy Bowl Party Food
There are two things I can never get enough of: puppies and food that is Buffalo-style. On February 2nd, I can indulge in both. While most of the country will be watching something called the Super Bowl, I’ll be settling with lots of red, messy, finger-licking deliciousness while watching the Puppy Bowl. Puppy Bowl […]
Spinach and Artichoke Rollatini
Some food combinations are marriages made in Heaven. Take a favorite dip, combine it with a favorite pasta dish and serve it in individual little roll-ups and you have an amazing dish that will make you roll your eyes back in your head. I’m talking about creamy, cheesy spinach-artichoke dip combined with the decadence of […]
Garlic Tomato Bruschetta, Gnocchi with Butternut Squash, Kale and Mozzarella and Go Veggie! Dairy-Free Cheeses
If someone offered me a lifetime supply of one product, it would be an easy decision: Go Veggie! Dairy-Free Grated Parmesan. That’s the one. Go Veggie!, please deliver a case of this each month and I’ll try not to run out before the month is over. I know cheese is that thing that so many […]

Welcome to another day of VeganMoFo 2013, a whole month of delicious vegan food. What better way to spend any day than with a new recipe that is both amazingly yummy and cruelty-free? It’s a win-win! As you may know, The “V” Word recipes are about 99% gluten-free but every now and then, […]
VeganMoFo Day #12: Jackfruit Philly Cheesesteak
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 […]

Welcome to another installment of VeganMoFo 2013, the month of delicious vegan food. Be sure to keep checking in all month for lots of great recipes and ideas. Ok, so I have now given you Vegan Challah and Vegan, Gluten-Free Challah Now what are you going to do with all that leftover […]
Chickpea Omelets with Mushrooms, Greens and Vegan Swiss
You know how lots of people say they didn’t/don’t think they could live without cheese? Not me. Other than mozzarella and grated parmesan, cheese didn’t factor into my life that much. When I used to dream of becoming a vegetarian, I thought I couldn’t live without chicken, my favorite food. Wrong again. Turns out the […]
Tofu Scallops
I only tasted scallops once and they tasted like rubber. So I figured I didn’t like them. After watching many cooks make them on TV and screw them up, I realized that the one I had tasted wasn’t cooked well. Oh well… I made these vegan scallops for a friend who asked for a vegan version of […]
Shepherd’s Pot Pie with Tofu
Here is the deal: I like the filling of pot pies better than the filling of Shepherd’s Pies. Shepherd’s pies usually have a ground “meat” filling. I made one of these using tempeh for my meaty filling in my Peaceful Shepherd’s Pie. Pot pies, on the other hand, usually have chunkier fillings of meat and […]
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 […]
Moroccan Tofu in a Lemon-Olive Sauce over Spaghetti
This is our new favorite dish. I only came up with it a couple of weeks ago and we’ve already had it 3 times! To me, that’s a good judge of how good it is. I love Moroccan flavors: the heat of cumin, the brightness of coriander, the spice of cinnamon and the tangy […]
Spinach, Artichoke and Mozzarella Tofu Frittata
Frittatas are one of those dishes that I veganized without ever having eaten in my pre-vegan days. But I wanted to make something light for dinner and as much as I love tofu scrambles, I just wanted to change it up a bit. This is incredibly easy to make. Putting it together takes 5 to […]
Super Decadent Lasagna with Spinach Tofu Ricotta and Mom’s Marinara Sauce
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Last winter I posted a recipe for my Gluten-Free Lasagna with Hazelnut Ricotta, Cashew Cheese Sauce and Marinara Sauce. It was a delicious trifecta of vegan, gluten-free and soy-free indulgence. This week Tom gifted me with a new lasagna pan so I thought I would return […]
Tempeh "Fish" Tacos, Zesty Lime Corn and Other Ideas for Cinco de Mayo
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo. What will you be serving with your margaritas? Here are my suggestions and some new recipes. There is no better meal than brunch. Breakfast and lunch all mixed together. No food is right or wrong. I love it. Start the day with my Mexican Sunday Brunch feast (even if it’s […]
Matzoh Ball Soup
Holidays and family. Holidays, family and memories. They go together, don’t they? Getting sick is no fun but when I was a kid, as soon as I caught a cold, my first thought would be “Yay, Mom is going to make me soup!” I loved my mother’s chicken soup with matzo balls. There was nothing like […]
Grilled "Chicken" Caesar Salad with Garlic Croutons
There may be fresh snow on the ground (we had another storm last night) but Spring is in the air. The 50 degree temperature is in sharp contrast to all the winter white that’s on the ground. But as the snow melts away and the weather gets warmer, we all know what that means – […]
Gluten-Free Pizza – Your Choice of Toppings
One of the foods I REALLY miss eating out is pizza. Yes, I know that in many places, especially in the city, you can get vegan pizza. But for those people not in the city, vegan pizza can still be hard to come by. So you think you can just order a pizza minus the […]
BK Supperclub Challenge: Puttanesca Panzarottis
This week Bitchin’ Kitchen had their holiday special on TV where Nadia G. prepared “The Feast of the Seven Dishes.” At the end of the episode, they showed Nadia’s Christmas music video, “A Bitchin’ Christmas” which featured several guest stars including Vegan Black Metal Chef. He pops out of a holiday gift box to denounce bacon […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Summer Salads Edition
It’s August and it’s hot. Too hot to cook. And produce is at its peak so what better time to make some delicious, healthy salads? I usually stick to my default salads: romaine lettuce with tomatoes, raw kale with simple dressings of extra-virgin olive oil or safflower oil with balsamic vinegar. Actually, for me those salads […]
