As the season draws to a close, I find myself eager to snatch up the last of the fall goodies at the farmer's market before it's gone until spring. This soup gives me a good excuse for that, and, in keeping with my newly-founded tradition of dedicating soups to people I know, this one goes out to my friend, Kate.
Read MoreAgave Glazed Golden Stir Fry With Tofu
It took me years to learn how to make a decent stir fry, and even now the ones I cook come nowhere near the quality of those made at my favorite Chinese restaurant. It truly is an art, and many people end up overcooking everything into a mushy, soggy mess.
Read MoreThanksgiving Stuffed Acorn Squash
My favorite part of Thanksgiving has always been my mom's stuffing recipe, which has been passed down through generations. I've veganized it (with a few additions of my own of course) and prepared it in a number of different ways over the years. One of my favorite applications is stuffed acorn squash. It makes a beautiful addition to any Thanksgiving table.
Read MoreTofu Yakisoba
Most people who know me know that I prefer spicy food with bold flavors, and that's the kind of food I tend to cook. This recipe is an exception.
Read MoreWhite Chili
I decided it was time to inaugurate the first soup recipe on this blog, and with the weather turning colder and colder, a chili seemed like the best choice. I've also decided to start doing something new. From now on, I will dedicate each soup recipe to someone awesome in my life.
Read MoreSeitan Normandy
In our house, this dish signifies the beginning of fall. It's named after the Normandy region of France which is famous for (among many other things) its apple brandy. The brandy, called Calvados, is also named for the region in which it was first distilled centuries ago, and continues to be made there. Although Calvados has many applications, both sweet and savory, in food or drink, this one is by far my favorite.
Read MoreTamale Pie
Casserole season is upon us! Let's start with one that everyone seems to dig - good old fashioned, American tamale pie.
Read MoreSeitan and Roast Potatoes With Mustard Sauce
"I'm a meat and potatoes kinda person." That's a thing people say, isn't it? I suppose it's to let others know that they're approachable and down-to-earth. Well, are you a meat and potatoes kinda person? If so, you'll love this dish. If you're not, you'll still love this dish because it has a subtle French twist - just a small eccentricity in the form of a tangy, creamy mustard sauce. Everybody wins!
Read MoreDeep Dish Pizza with Spinach and Mushrooms
I have always been a huge fan of deep dish pizza, even before I went vegan and before I moved to the Midwest. I'm deep dish to the core, which is why you better believe this pie rocks.
Read MoreGrilled Tempeh Sandwiches With Sun-dried Tomato Artichoke Spread
Ok, guys. It's time to put down the Tofurkey and get serious about sandwiches. When is making a fancy sandwich worth the extra work? When it's THIS sandwich. I don't screw around with caramelized onions, people. I pair them with a heavenly sun-dried tomato artichoke spread that's ridiculously easy to make. Did I mention the peppery arugula and basil? Let's do this.
Read MoreThai Green Curry With Kermit Eggplants
The aptly named kermit eggplant is a farmer's market favorite that's delicious and fun to cook with. One of its best applications is Thai green curry. Thai curries are notorious for requiring long lists of ingredients, but if you're willing to use a prepared curry paste, it turns out it's actually pretty easy being green!
Read MoreTofu Tacos With Mango Salsa
Although I won't claim this recipe tastes like fish tacos, all the important elements are there. Crispy veggies, savory protein, spicy salsa and cool, creamy dressing have made this dish a regular summer staple for us.
Read MorePulled Seitan Barbecue
For this adventure, we're making our own barbecue sauce! If that sounds a bit extreme, you can always use the store bought kind instead, but then you'll miss out on all the fun.
Read MoreWatermelon Cucumber Salad With Tempeh and Mint
Sweet, savory and bursting with summer herbs, this salad is one of my favorite homespun recipes. It's great for bringing along to a picnic or barbecue.
Read MoreSeitan Chilaquiles
Chilaquiles are traditionally a brunch dish made with last night's leftovers. We love them so much, we think they're worth making from scratch and having for dinner! Once you give them a try, I think you'll agree.
Read MoreSesame Tofu
Sweet and sticky sesame sauce is one of my all-time favorite (American style) Chinese food incarnations, but I’m not comfortable ordering it in restaurants because it often contains chicken stock. Luckily, sesame tofu is pretty easy to make at home.
