Although in some ways similar to yesterday’s seasonal produce theme, I tried to take a somewhat different approach with the menu. I wanted to use nuts, pomegranate, and apples – all symbolic in various ways, although not especially to me, and delicious, fun challenges to base a meal around. Here’s where I landed: mushroom-walnut pate…

#VeganMoFo Day 22: Dish using all seasonal produce
This is basically how I cook every day – I shop at the farmers’ market like it’s a religion – but living in Northern California means so much great stuff is in season for a long time, even during this drought. Still, things do come and go. The end of summer tends to have beautiful…
#VeganMoFo Day 21: Desert island foods
“What three endless food supplies would you take if you were going to be stranded on an island? (Imagine your nutritional needs have been met, these are a bonus!)” Chocolate, pineapple, and nutritional yeast. Not because I think they GO together – far from it. But they each scratch a proverbial itch. Chocolate is obvious….
#VeganMoFo Day 20: Veganize an old family recipe
…Or admit #defeat while trying. My mom is an awesome cook. She can feed armies and menu plan with the best of them. Of course she taught me to cook, too–I’ve been in the kitchen as long as I can remember. (I made up my own, admittedly terrible, cookie recipe in the 1st grade.) Perhaps…
Sigh. So today’s post is a fail…

Just a little breakfast: Purple potato and cabbage hash with shallots and homemade Italian snausages, and a side of heirloom tomato and basil.
This snausage is really taking its double entendre seriously.
#VeganMoFo Day 19: Lunch on the go
Whenever we’ve joined my boyfriend’s mom on a day trip that involved picnic lunch, she’s prepared a lovely tofu pasta salad. So with that inspiration, I put together my own version, along with a bonus lettuce cup salad using leftovers, just ‘cause. Pasta salad included: Frozen, then defrosted, firm tofu: sliced into four pieces and…
#VeganMoFo Day 18: Honor someone who inspires your veganism
OK, look, I was going to post something suitably animal-friendly and tell you about my herbivore friends named Lilly and Ollie. Don’t get me wrong, they are fucking cute as hell, but their diet does little to inspire mine. It just seems appropriate for a vegetarian to keep vegetarian pets (also, they are ADORABLE, just…
