Okra Stew
Food blog lives!! Here I am.
I don't have a photo for this post, but I wanted to share one of the best things I've made in awhile: Okra Stew! If you're a midwesterner like me and you've never cooked with okra before, fear not--it was really easy! I bought about one pound of it at the store and wasn't sure what to do with it at all. After some ( Read more... ) -
Super Easy Blueberry Muffins
I got this from vegweb. Make them, you won't be sorry. You just need some normal things that you probably already have in your pantry... and they're low fat and low sugar... pretty crazy healthy actually for as good as they are. And faster/easier than blueberry pancakes!
Easy Blueberry Muffins
1 1/2 cups flour (I did half wheat/half white flour)

Kinda Raw Cheesy Kale Chips
Well... I haven't posted recipes in 100 years. Part of this has been that I haven't been cooking as much, but the larger part of it is that I am lazy. Now you can has recipes but no photos because I don't have any :( But trust me this is good.
Kinda Raw Cheesy Kale Chips
For the cheese, puree this stuff in a blender:
1/2-3/4 c. raw cashews or ( Read more... ) -
Beans and Rice Casserole
This is the "Red Beans and Rice Casserole" from Vegan Fire & Spice. Well, it kind of is. I did my usual hefty dose of modifications. For starters, I didn't even use red beans. Ha.
Beans & Rice Casserole (with my changes)
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 onion)
1/2 c. chopped red bell pepper (don't like peppers...used some celery I had lying around ( Read more... ) -
The many merits of matcha tea: I'm sold.
So I've recently been trying to wean myself off of coffee and onto matcha tea. In case you don't know, matcha tea is a powdered japanese green tea.
Photo taken from matchasource.com so you can see how beautiful green this stuff is (also, <3 matchasource, more on that in a minute).

Carribbean Sweet Potato Hash
This is some kind of something or other that I ended up making for dinner upon realizing that I have a nearly bare fridge, no produce, and *still* have not made it to the store. My intention was to make something mexican-ish, but it kinda evolved from there. I have no idea how Caribbean this is but the flavors make me think of it so... yeah.

Miso Noodle Soup
I got this recipe from Economical Vegan after beingbecca posted it in an LJ community. This soup was so so amazing! It takes miso soup to a new level because the rice noodles make it filling. The best part is, it's made from normal pantry things and incredibly inexpensive.

The secret to a good tofu scramble... (mofo2009)
...is to make sure there's some moisture in the pan when you add the nutritional yeast at the end. Whether this means adding a bit of water, or a bit of broth, or a dash of soy sauce and water together... I love the sauce-y texture that results when nooch goes in with some liquid. It's the only way to go. It's becoming my "signature" way to ( Read more... ) -
Vietnamese Noodles with Tempeh and Peanuts (not)
This was the Vietnamese Noodles with Tempeh and Peanuts recipe from Vegan Fire and Spice, though I subbed some stuff so it wasn't exactly it. I used tofu instead of tempeh because it was all I had, and I'm fairly sure I used the wrong noodles. And some cabbage made its way in there.
Good, but I got reeeeeally tired of the leftovers after awhile.

Restaurant Reviews: 2 in one day! (mofo 2009)
I'm not doing so well with keeping up on Mofo this week... work has been completely insane lately. I'm going to have some catching up to do...
Anyway, on Friday I went to 2 restaurants here in Columbus that I hadn't been to before. The amazing thing about Columbus is that I am *still* discovering new places to get great vegan food, and I've lived ( Read more... )
