The last few weeks from our CSA we've been getting these "snack peppers", which are basically cute little bell peppers. At first I wasn't sure what to make of them (or with them) but they're aptly named because they're super sweet and perfect for snacking on. [...] 
Here's a recipe I've been meaning to post for a different sort of baked pasta. I came up with this one night while pondering how to use up some yellow squash from our CSA. I ended up using too many bread crumbs for the topping but [...] 
I admit it. I'm a total cookie fiend. So when the folks at Bountiful Vegan asked if we'd like to sample their vegan cookies I jumped at the chance. They come in four flavors (or themes as you'll see if you follow the link). No' [...] 
The Voluptuous Vegan served us well for last year's Christmas dinner and that Seitan Bourguignonne recipe has been on my list for a long time so there you go. We sort of followed the menu idea in the book, starting with a simple salad of' [...] 
How many of you out there in veg-land have had a Tofurkey on Thanksgiving? Or at any other time? I was just trying to remember Thanksgivings past and I realized this was at least our 12th vegan Thanksgiving meal (and there were one or two more [...] 
This is what we did for our blog anniversary. It may not make the next top ten list but it's interesting (to me anyway) because I've never cooked with broccoli rabe before. Broccoli rabe (aka Rapini) is more like a bitter green than like broccoli and [...] 
Have I mentioned we don't have a lot of time for cooking these days? Yeah, probably. Dinner is often a re-hash of something we've already written about many times but I had a chance to flip through Quick Fix Vegetarian recently and I found a [...] 
This is another variation on the seitan patties I recently posted about. Last time I was pondering how to make them larger (as opposed to baking them in muffin tins). The muffin top pan was a good idea but then it occurred to me that [...] 
What do you do when you wake up at 5 in the morning and can't get back to sleep? And you've got half a bag of organic lemons in the fridge that need to be used up? If you're me, you open up your copy of [...] 
I've probably already mentioned that I used to enjoy browsing through cookbooks (or blogs or TV shows) and finding fun new recipes to try. Now there's precious little time for such things so we're often eating some quick pasta dish or maybe something from the freezer. [...] 
I posted about this casserole recipe from Vegan With a Vengeance way back when we first started this blog. In fact that post garnered our first negative comment (thankfully the negative comments have generally been few and far between). I admit my photography skills [...] 
Here's a quick and easy meal idea. Whenever you have a chance, start some rice cooking. Brown rice takes longer but it's better for you and you can be doing other things around the house while it's cooking. Once it's done, let it sit and cool [...] 
I mentioned these in the last post and now those of you who were waiting for the recipe (all 2 of you) can breath a sigh of relief. I've written about how much I like the seitan recipes in the Real Food Daily cookbook and this [...] 
I've already posted about my old standby banana bread recipe so this is really just a way to re-use some content. I've been making muffins from this recipe lately, which I like because they take less time to cook. In the original recipe I used [...] 
I don't have many of my own recipes to share these days so I'll co-opt someone else's. We got some more fresh corn from the farmers market yesterday and the one thing I could think of that goes with corn on the cob is barbecue. Except [...] 
I shoot from the hip a lot more when cooking these days. That is to say, I do it all the time. Sure, I used to improvise on occasion, but I also used to spend weekends poring over cookbooks or magazines or blogs trying to find [...] 
Saturday was our first trip to the farmer's market with baby Jonas. We've been for walks around the neighborhood but this was his first outing where he got to meet lots of people. Well, lots of people met him; he was more interested in sleeping than [...] 
Well I managed to make us a decent dinner last night and now I'm even getting around to posting about it. Though I imagine our posts here will be sporadic for a while. Our stash of food in the freezer is now severely depleted and we [...] 
After the donut extravaganza we needed to get back to something more healthy right? And we also just made tacos with the Smart Ground, so here we went to the other end of the processed and cooked spectrum. The results however were only so-so. We recently [...] 
Quinoa. For breakfast. That might sound a little different (it did to me), but why stick exclusively with the go-to grains (wheat and oats) for breakfast? In many cultures rice is perfectly acceptable breakfast food so quinoa is not that much more of a stretch. That's [...] 
Normally I may not have posted about this noodle salad, but I also have a little bit of shameless self promotion to do. First the salad. We were channel surfing over the weekend (doesn't take that long when you only get 5 channels), and we happened [...] 
Yes you read that title correctly and yes this is still a vegan blog. Original Spaghetti O's are decidedly not vegan but my version sure is. A couple months ago we found some ring shaped pasta (called Anelletti) at Trader Joe's. I made our old standby [...] 
We've written about these croquettes from Alternative Vegan already but I didn't have anything more interesting since both meals from last post ended up lasting us several days. We've got so many great new cookbooks though that if we go back to a recipe [...] 
This was inspired by one of the meals I had at Cafe Blossom in New York. This was the quick version though, with prepared polenta and marinara sauce, plus leftover red pepper sauce from last post. If you want to make it more fancy-like, make [...] 
That's really just a fancy way of describing how we used up some leftovers. For the baby shower Darlene made a huge batch of kalamata olive tapenade and we still have plenty left over. Plus we had some spinach/tofu filling left from the puff pastry turnovers. [...] 
So many new cookbooks, so little time. But Vegan Express, the latest offering from Nava Atlas is made for those who have little time. And with a baby on the way I'm sure we'll have much less time for spending in the kitchen in just [...] 
This dates to last weekend but better late than never right? I wanted to get this up on our restaurant round up. Dr. Ho's Humble Pie is an eclectic pizza joint south of Charlottesville near the town of North Garden. We read a review [...]
