In a shocking turn of events, this pie is not from the upcoming Vegan Pie in the Sky cookbook. I repeat, this is not an official, Post Punk Kitchen endorsed pie. This creation was inspired by the recent Portland VegFest, Chicago Soy Dairy’s sweet deal on those sweet little ‘mallows, Julie Hasson’s cream pie demo and [...]

Salt Spring Inspired Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup
Break out your rain boots, adorn your favorite hoodie and repeat after me: it’s officially soup weather. It seems like only yesterday, but I earned some real Pacific Northwest points with a British Columbian adventure back in May. It was my first ever visit to Canada, at all, and I’m truly an idiot for waiting so [...]
The Great Pumpkin Syrup Sunday
Oh, Fall I picked up a sugar pie pumpkin from the coop yesterday with two goals. Today, I’ll open up about the first: Pumpkin Syrup. I’m one to seek out a vegan-friendly pumpkin latte or two, or milkshake, during my favorite season, and one to wonder, “Where aren’t there more classy pumpkin cocktails?” Pumpkin, seasonal spices and brandy [...]
double dippin’: the party
Roughly 1/10th of total dips that arrived at Double Dippin’ Fueling my dorky, themed party planning obsession, I hosted a dip-themed potluck and party last weekend. Double Dippin’: The Party* featured 4 tables of dips: Sweet, Savoury, Miscellaneous, No Holds Barred, and Michele performing the grand & appetizing Vegan Mozzarella Stick-Off in the kitchen. The record was successfully broken for just how [...]
Tales from the Nut: Cashew Mushroom Alfredo

If not, get on it. I’ve enjoyed my share of tofu-based cream sauces, but the silkiness of soaked nuts usually overrules thick soy. If you’re [...]
berry picking, subsequently followed by strawberry chocolate swirl cream pie
Blueberry Fields Forever, Sauvie Island I had my first taste of berry picking fulfillment this past weekend with a few friends. As usual, it was a berry stained dress of a blast. Getting to farms and carrying home pounds of berries is problematic without a car (or ambition to drive), so I am thrilled when [...]
dude, everyone has a curried butternut soup recipe.
Fact or Fiction: Last spring, I sent in my registration materials for the NWFBP (NorthWest Food Bloggers Picnic) and was rejected! Their response letter gave one sole reason: I had never featured a photo of butternut squash soup. Eventually, I decided to right this wrong, and mildly adapted a recipe from The Food Network via [...]
see this shot?
pumpkin. coconut. whiskey. nog. Well, fast forward to Monday, and I don’t plan on placing glasses of cinnamon sprinkled nog in poor light, half hidden by shadows. Earlier today, I bought a magical new camera from The Shutterbug! I spent this past week cooking and dining without a camera and it didn’t feel right. I had [...]
