Vegan Stroganoff

20 May 2012

I remember when I first got Vegan with a Vengeance I was immediately drawn to the Stroganoff recipe, and was nearly incompetent at making it, let alone finding all the ingredients. So this past winter I set off on a mission to make Stroganoff with more accessible ingredients, and with less intensive preparation and cooking. This recipe came …

Basic Vegan Spaghetti

09 Oct 2011

This recipe is inspired by my mom who makes her own spaghetti with meat sauce. From what I remember this is very close to her recipe which I used to watch her make with amazement as a young child. This is a great recipe for fall and winter as it …

There are a ton of resources for vegan recipes out there, but sometimes you get a hankering for something and there are none available.

Vegan Mac ‘n Cheese, Like Momma Used to Make

09 Nov 2010

I don’t know about your Mom, but when mine said she was making Mac ‘n Cheese it meant pulling a box of Kraft out of the pantry and mixing in a little milk and butter. When I was old enough to reach the stove she’d actually tell me to just make it myself. Initially that made me mad, but then …

The Winter Vegan Pantry

06 Nov 2010

One of the missions when starting this blog was to include entries on Veganism. At this point I have been vegan for over 3 years and have been at a bit of a loss to know where to start writing about how I eat. On top of not eating anything that comes from an animal, I also believe very strongly …
