Almond Butter and Carrot Dog Biscuits

I’d been saying for a while now that I wanted to make some homemade dog treats for Rotti, our Yorkie, since his birthday was this month (yesterday, actually).  Knowing that I would do this eventually–and by eventually, I mean sooner rather than later–D was kind enough to purchase a dog bone-shaped cookie cutter for me.  [...]

Chickpea Cutlets, Caesar Salad, and Steamed Broccoli

The exciting life of being a resident doesn’t afford me much time to cook.  Usually, I bake, because I seem to have better luck baking than cooking.  D’s the chef; I’m the baker.  However, I like to do my part when I can, and I’d rather not leave cooking for just special occasions.  My goal [...]

Iced Oatmeal Cookies

I haven’t had much time lately to post anything I’ve made. D, however, has been a vegan chef supahstah! Her food is quite excellent and very, very yumyum. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of us at work that have January birthdays, and last week there was a mini-celebration for us. I figured, though, that [...]

I jazzed [...]

It’s Your Birthday, So How ‘Bout Some…Donuts?

Today’s D’s 29th (+ xx) birthday!  (I’ma soooo get beaten for that one.)  Since moving here we’ve been exercising and eating healthily, rarely eating sweets.  In fact, we’ve both lost quite a bit of weight since June, and we continued that trend all throughout the holidays.  So, needless to say, D really didn’t want cake [...]

New Year’s Day 2010

Like many others around the country today, D and I decided to have a more traditional New Year’s Day dinner full of foods that represent luck, prosperity, and comfort. We are happy. We are stuffed. And now, we’re in desperate need of a nap. Ah, yummy bliss. Happy New Year everyone!

Soft Polenta with Cannellini Beans, Sautéed Collard Greens, and Currants

This is the meal D and I had for Christmas Day dinner. Coincidentally, it was so good and there was enough left over that we had it again tonight! I said to D, after scooping the last bit in my bowl onto my spoon, “I don’t know how anyone could not like collard greens.” Sure, [...]

The Tofu Scramble Morph

For me, tofu has been an acquired taste and texture. Sure, it takes on the flavor of whatever its marinade is, but texture-wise, it still gave me the willies. I always would just eat it (quickly) because it was good for me. Because of this you can see how easily I feared the popular tofu [...]

Obligatory First Post

We’ve bitten the bullet and decided to start blogging. Actually, it was my idea, since my Facebook page had started to become a showcase of our yummy food more than anything else. Veganism provides such an excitement for me, and I want to show off everything D or I make, almost as if to say, [...]
