As I was learning to become a better cook, the one area that took me longer to learn was the art of spicing (yes, it's still a work in progress!). As far as I was concerned, a dish of pasta with a tablespoon or so of cayenne was "spiced". Unfortunately, no one that I served… Continue reading Vegan Diwali Sweets ~ Recipe and an E-book Giveaway!

Yeasted Banana Pecan Bread
I've been wanting to make a bread like this for a while - using the flavors of sweet banana and nutty pecans in a yeasted bread, rather than a quick bread. Actually, I read a book about 12 years ago that mentioned a bread like this, and I've been wanting to make one like it… Continue reading Yeasted Banana Pecan Bread
Spiced Poached Pears with Granola & Sweet Cashew Cream
I know I've been pretty much awol for the past couple of weeks. After posting most days of the month for Vegan MOFO in September, I've kind of taken it easy over the past couple of weeks.

Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Brownies and the WordPress Family Award
I was so excited a few of months ago when I discovered that vegan butterscotch extracts exist. I don't quite know why I never thought about it before, I somehow thought that that amazing butterscotch flavor would have to be homemade from now on ~ while I know that vegan butterscotch chips exist, I usually… Continue reading Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Brownies and the WordPress Family Award
Cauliflower Velvet Soup with Vegan Smoked Gouda
While I was in Utah last week, I had the great experience of making Somer's famous vegan cheese.We had such fun that I was determined to make more once I got back... thus came the incredible vegan Smoked Gouda.

What’s your favorite dish to share with vegan newbies? ~ Vegan MOFO 2013

There is… Continue reading What’s your favorite dish to share with vegan newbies? ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
Avocado Lime Cake: Guest Post by MD Vegan ~ Vegan MOFO 2013

Utah Bound ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
I spent yesterday driving from Southern CA to Utah to visit my amazing friend Somer. It was a beautiful drive, just over 9 hours, going through California, Nevada, the corner of Arizona, and into Utah. I first experienced the beauty of Utah 16 years ago when I drove cross-country from Massachusetts to California, and it… Continue reading Utah Bound ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
Cranberry Pomegranate Relish ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
So even though the weather has barely started to change down here, I'm getting ready to add some fall flavors into what I make ~ apples, cranberries, pumpkin, squash and more.... Cranberries are one of my favorites. Each year when they are plentiful and inexpensive, I buy lots and freeze them to use all during… Continue reading Cranberry Pomegranate Relish ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
Cinnamon Bun Sauce & Transition to Autumn Fruit Salad ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
I've not had any particular theme during this Vegan MOFO ~ note to self: plan ahead next year! But I am noticing some patterns happening ... multiple tempeh recipes (yes, The Vegan Kitchen of Dr. Caligari even dubbed me "The Tempeh Queen", a title that I'll happily accept 🙂 ) and coconut milk.... interesting how some… Continue reading Cinnamon Bun Sauce & Transition to Autumn Fruit Salad ~ Vegan MOFO 2013
