The MoFo Farewell, alla Vodka
Happy last day of MoFo! I haven’t quite been keeping to my proposed theme and daily posting as much as I intended, but I like to think that posting elsewhere (and co- planning a vegan bloggers conference, zomg!!!) has helped make up for it a tiny bit. That, and getting wrapped up on the MoFo [...]
mini pizzas & teese & holiday confessions
I was recently afflicted with the pizza bug. It’s been the coldest and driest November I’ve ever witnessed in Portland, and it usually seems much more rational to use the oven over the heater. You get a warm dinner and a warmer abode. Win Win. Whole wheat crust (Trader Joe’s), homemade marinara, mozzarella teese, sun-dried tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, jalapeño peppers. I’m [...]
A Day in the Life: Onwards, Marsala
Continuing on my classy streak with a dinner pairing from the versatile 500 Vegan Recipes, which is by two lovely ladies I dig: Tofu Marsala and Sesame Kale It just may be the week of marsala. My variations from the original entrée recipe were the use of cremini mushrooms vs. button, and the addition of a wee bit of [...]

Are you a Proper Eats fan? Did you miss Piper? Is this simply in your google reader? Please, proceed. It’s [...]
creamy content: acorn squash sauce over pasta
Broken record: I’ve been warming my way across various posts-in-progress for this site and Stumptown Vegans – where there’s always something – multiple posts, second and third visits, site development ideas, etc. – going on behind the scenes. Working on that, the grand invites and open registration (why, could it be next weekend?!?) for Vida Vegan [...]
World’s Cutest Eggplants become Persian Eggplant Stew
Yeah, most of these striped little nightshade dream boats were smaller than my fingers. This was a multi-step roasted stew. I loosely used the recipe in Veganomicon as a guide. When doesn’t that happen? First, I trimmed the tops off the unpeeled, mini eggplant wonders and sliced them in half, length-wise. This was roasted in [...]
Jalapeno and Herb Roasted Tempeh and Broccoli
This meal brought about the usage of positive profanity. For starters, it was Mexican inspired and didn’t include cilantro. Jalapeno and Herb Roasted Tempeh and Broccoli. Served with red quinoa, black beans, carrots and fresh tomatoes. Jalapeno and Herb Roasted Tempeh and Broccoli Adapted from Jalapeño Roast Chicken with Baby Broccoli Book: Marcela Valladolid’s “Fresh [...]
clean out the fridge Pra Ram style noodle dinner
Quite recently, I purchased peanut butter after forgetting it existed for a couple of months. I was glad I did, because it came to the rescue the other night on an almost too-warm-to-cook, clean-out-the-fridge-for-dinner evening. I was grasping for ideas and near gasping for breath until I remembered that I had just enough odds and [...]
