What are we thankful for this year? For many things. We are thankful for the presence of one another. We are thankful for the fortune that those we love are healthy. We are thankful that we have been graced with the ability to make better choices than at any other point in the past, and that these choices have [...]

Savory Phyllo Roll
Posted in Baked Goods [Savory], D, Dinner, Greens, Holidays and Special Occasions, Seitan, Tofu on November 15, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Savory Phyllo Roll This dish is similar to the Mediterranean Braciole dinner in that it’s a combination of separate dishes combined into one main course.

A Compassionate Easter Feast
Posted in D, Easter, Faux Meats, Seitan on April 2, 2010 | 6 Comments »

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!

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, [...]

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, [...]
