The “V” Word continues its celebration of VeganMoFo, a month of delicious food, with the other 25 letters of the alphabet. Today the letter “J” is for Jalapeno Poppers Revisited. Last March I wrote a post with a recipe for my fried Jalapeno Poppers. Fried Jalapeno Popper Well, that has become my most popular recipe […]

Extreme Vegan Makeover: Fried Green Tomatoes with Red Pepper Aioli Edition
“Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a plate of fried green tomatoes like we used to have at the cafe. Ooh!” – Ninny Threadgoode Summer is the time for green tomatoes and who can hear the name of these delicious fruits without thinking of the awesome movie “Fried Green Tomatoes.” The movie is about […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Basil Walnut Pesto Edition
If a genie suddenly appeared to me and offered me 3 wishes, I would wish for animal liberation, world peace….and a Vitamix. I really want a Vitamix! But since no genie appears no matter how long and hard I rub every lamp and bottle I see, my wish for a Vitamix will have to sit […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Buffalo Tofu Fries Edition
The 4th of July may be over but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fireworks – and not the kind that are harmful to people, animals and the environment. These fireworks are for your tastebuds! I am always looking for new ways to recreate Buffalo Wings which were my favorite thing to eat before I […]

Extreme Vegan Makeover: Spinach Artichoke Dip Edition

Tom and I traveled back to Wilmington, North Carolina – the place we eloped to – for our one-year wedding anniversary in 2008. We had become vegetarians the previous […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Baked Polenta Fries and Ranch Dip Edition
After all the latkes I made for Chanukah (over 8 lbs. of potatoes, 5 zucchini, 2 yellow squash and a bunch of carrots worth), I didn’t want to even look at anything fried or made with potatoes for awhile. But that took away one of my favorite treats: french fries. Searching through the pantry for […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Tofu Nuggets and Raw Kale Salad Edition
In the old days, during the 20th century P.V. (pre-vegan), I ate a TON of fast-food. In fact, I’m quite embarrassed to say here just how much fast-food I ate but given that I’ve lost over 110 lbs., I guess that’s no shock. One of the foods I had absolutely NO willpower around was Wendy’s […]
