The brand is based in Seattle, WA and these buns are refrigerated, alleviating the mysterious and often gross frozen food factor. I have been on the search for more-than-decent (and non-frozen) [...]

feeling fancy and feeling girly
In regards to Blog Post Title Part I Well, I still don’t have many photos to show, but my weekend included a lot of feeling fancy – at least some contributions to it. I hid and cooked in the kitchen during the first Heartichoke, my friend’s new vegan supper club, and we pulled off five [...]
a very cast iron christmas (breakfast)
Tofu Omelette, Smoky Creminis and Garlic Roasted Potatoes from Vegan Brunch. The omelette itself was stuffed with the mushrooms, baby spinach and Wayfare Hickory-Smoked Cheddar-Style Spread.

Vegan Soul Kitchen: Take 1
I’ve had a few minutes of free time on my hands lately, and I’ve found myself dedicating that time to reading cookbooks.

Things got even better with a curious stop at JC Rice Noodle Shop & Restaurant on SE Foster. I was in the area for [...]

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 [...]
