I knew this would happen sooner or later. When I named the group of recipes “Extreme Vegan Makeover,” I knew that eventually I would want to post a recipe that wasn’t a veganized version of some other recipe. Then what would I do? I know! Just post the recipe and some pictures that make your […]

Extreme Vegan Makeover: Spinach-Stuffed Seitan, Deconstructed Edition
As promised, here is the easier version of the last recipe for Spinach-Stuffed Seitan Roast. This version involves making the seitan into cutlets and does not need the oven (which is good for the summer). This version also has a smoother, softer, less chewy “meaty” texture (which I happen to prefer) so no knives are […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Spinach-Stuffed Roast Edition

Extreme Vegan Makeover: "Meat" Loaf Edition
A self-confessed food television addict, most of the shows I watch have nothing to do with vegan cooking. They don’t have much to do with healthy eating either. Still, I tune in to Dinner: Impossible, Top Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, Iron Chef and one of my favorite shows, Throwdown with Bobby Flay. I love to watch […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Eggplant Rollatini Edition

We made sure we got marinara sauce instead of meat sauce and that was that. However, when we saw the light and went vegan, everything changed. Sure, I continued to make Italian food – yummy pasta […]
