After the last post about budget eating, Amber wanted to know my recipe for pancakes. Since this one doesn't contain eggs, it is about as frugal a pancake recipe as I can think of. I got it from Vegweb.com years ago. We make these ALL the time. We like to ...

Averie has done it again. She's made another recipe I have actually made twice. Not only is the Chocolate Chia Pudding delicious and reminiscent of tapioca, it contains a whopping (approximately) 12 grams of fiber per serving (each recipe makes one serving). I and many other nutritionists ...

Some folks go crazy for lemon-poppyseed. Not me. I go for almond. Yesterday, as part of my Simple Pleasures Initiative (which I'll discuss in a later post), I bought some poppyseeds in the bulk section of the local natural foods store. Today we're having these muffins for lunch. I couldn't ...

Oooh, what could this be?
Oh what joyous communal fun! It was a Indian cooking lesson with a chef from our local vegan restaurant. He and two other of our ...

I am so proud of myself. I made veggie pot pie without a recipe, and even made the pie crust (I used a recipe for that). I just dreamed it up out of my own head. Whole grain crust filled with cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, peas, onions, and garlic in a ...

Winter and I are not friends. But it does make hot, hearty suppers especially enjoyable. Imagine this: savory french onion soup with slow-caramelized onions and rich hints of tamari and mustard, rustic wheat bread from the co-op, a sweet and tart coleslaw of winter greens and veggies, and a glass ...

Seeing photos of everyone's fridge/freezers across the vegan blogs lately inspired me to clean mine out. I am not a good photo sharer, so I didn't even bother with that (although once my new laptop comes in I might get better at photos). But I did make room!
A few years ...

This evening I was feeling industrious and decided to cook some Vcon recipes I haven't tried yet. Maybe you've noticed that the only cookbook I ever use is Veganomicon. That's partly because it's the only vegan cookbook I own (I have asked Santa for another one for Xmas. Which should ...

It's 48 degrees out, and rainy. Which makes us hungry for chili. So I thought I'd share my very own recipe for "Slap Yo Momma Sweet Ass Super Veggie Chili".
The Beans:
1 cup red kidney beans
1/2 cup black beans
