Surprise!
Saturday, April 25th, 2009Jesse’s birthday passed while we were in Orlando and while we did celebrate, I wanted to get some of his good friends together for another celebration. I’m horrible with surprises so it’s incredible I was able to pull this off. I told him that we were going to dinner last night to celebrate my friend [...]
Gimme some sugar!
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009Growing up, my mom used to buy Entenmann’s brand baked goods all the time. Entenmann’s isn’t exactly high quality stuff, I know, but I remember loving the buttery flavor and the moist, dense texture of their pound cake. I’d been eyeing the vanilla pound cake recipe from Veganomicon for a while and finally made [...]
Ethos Vegan Kitchen
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009I’m in Orlando, Florida with my partner, Jesse, who is here to attend a conference. I’ve only been here for a day but have started to hate this place because we’re cooped up at a frou frou, country club-esque hotel that’s far away from the rest of the city.

Oyster Mushroom Calamari
Monday, April 6th, 2009My partner got me The Artful Vegan cookbook from Millenium for Valentine’s Day and I absolutely love it. The recipes intimidate the hell out of me, but I like to flip through the pages over and over, fantasizing about the kinds of dinner parties I’ll throw one day. Since I got through the Cajun crispy [...]
Crispy Cajun Tofu, Swiss Chard and Mac and Cheeze
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Since Souley Vegan is still closed, I’ve had to satisfy my cravings for vegan soul food by making my own crispy tofu and mac and cheeze.
The crispy tofu recipe comes from The Artful Vegan cookbook from Millenium Restaurant. The balance of flavors in the batter and spices were delicious and I will definitely be making [...]
Hello!
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Welcome to my new food blog where I share with you my (mis)adventures in vegan cooking and baking!
I became a vegan permanently in January 2007 (after a few unsuccessful attempts) and have come a long way in my culinary abilities since then. As much as I enjoyed food, I was never particularly interested in cooking [...]
