Yesterday after a very exhausting bike ride scavenger hunt, I came home and made Kittee's No Bake Strawberry Pie. It has to sit overnight so I had a slice for brunch!  You can find the recipe in Kittee's Papa Tofu cookbook which can be purchased on her blog. What You Need: A pre-baked and cooled pie crust. I got mine at Whole Foods. 1/4-1/3 tub Tofutti

The first time Scott and I went to California we happened to be in Anaheim and looking for Vegan grub and we came across a restaurant called Native Foods in nearby Costa Mesa. We had the "Save the Chicken Fingers" and we were hooked. A few days later we made our way to the Native Foods in Westwood and I had the "Mad Cowboy Bowl" and fell in love!! We bought the cookbook and have been making

So I don't normally do new years resolutions, but this blog has been seriously neglected and so has my baking. So my resolution is to update this blog twice a month in 2010, with my baking, cooking, or traveling vegan food adventures. Hopefully some of you out there will enjoy it!

For our April potluck, the theme was breakfast. I decided to make donuts, I used the recipe found on Vegan Yum Yum (but added a few touches suggested by The Urban Housewife) The recipe was super easy and the donuts came out great. I can't wait to start experimenting with different options (like a chocolate cake donut).Here is the recipe:Dry Ingredients:1 Cup All Purpose Flour1/2 Cup Sugar1 1/2

This post is loooooong overdue. For our December potluck the theme was stuffed foods. I saw this as a great opportunity to make the Fauxstess Cupcakes from Vegan with a Vengance. They were a big hit at the potluck and a big hit with all my non-vegan friends. Step 1: Make chocolate cupcakesStep 2: Stuff with fluffy white icingStep 3: Cover with chocolate ganacheStep 4: Draw on icing squigglesStep

So a few months ago I came across Vegan Ice Cream Paradise and decided that I wanted to give making my own vegan ice cream a try. I bought this ice cream maker and I was on my way. I looked around for various veganize ice cream recipes but they all seemed too complicated (to me) so I decided to just veganize the recipes that come with the maker and it worked perfectly! (when the ice cream comes

Today I had a party for my birthday. During our Thanksgiving vacation in Dallas I came across Wilton's checkerboard cake kit and decided I would make it for my birthday party. So today I revamped my almond cake recipe a bit and gave it a go. I decided I wanted the cake to be super bright so I dyed the batter pink and purple (I used wilton's color gel paste in rose and violet) then I topped it off

This weekend I made two cakes for two friends joint birthday party. The first was a Yellow cake with chocolate chips inside and chocolate frosting on top for my friend Lauren. The other wasn't technically a cake, I made red velvet cupcakes for my friend Melissa. Both of these recipe's came from Kittee. What would I do without her cake recipes? I'll tell you not eat delicous vegan cake that's

For this month's potluck the theme was Caribbean Food. I decided to make Jerk Seitan. I used Bryanna Clark Grogan's Tender Chicken seitan recipe and converted a Jerk Chicken recipe I found here. It was a big success. Jerk SeitanSeitanDRY MIX:2 and 1/4 c. pure gluten powder1/2 c. Minute tapioca (buy in any grocery store—unflavored)1/2 c. TVP flakes2 T. nutritional yeast flakes2 tsp. garlic

So I have been helping with this column for Herbivore Magazine called Cookie Wars. I am part of the fake egg squad. We take a standard cookie recipe and veganize it, using 4 different egg replacement products/methods. It's a really great way to learn which egg replacement methods yield the best results.

For Scott's 31st Birthday he wanted a buttered almond cake like he used to get before he was vegan. I used Kittee's Strawberry Kake recipe and subbed a few things. Here is the updated recipe.Almond CakeDry Ingredients: * 3 cups unbleached white flour * 1 3/4 cups unbleached granulated sugar * 2 teaspoons baking soda * 3/4 teaspoon salt Wet Ingredients: * 1 3/4 cups vanilla almond

I started this blog to post vegan recipes for the masses. I'm going to post a few older recipes that I have tried out at our monthly vegan potlucks here in NOLA. Most of these have been tested on other vegans as well as non-vegans with outstanding results so go forth and spread the vegan goodness.
