Technically, food isn’t blue. But you can get pretty close: blue corn, blue potatoes, purple kale, red cabbage, black krim heirloom tomatoes… so why not combine them all in one dish? Organic blue masa becomes blue corn tortillas – yum. Purple potatoes and kale are sauteed with onions and garlic, then deglazed with water and…

#VeganMoFo Day 9: Most retro recipe
Or…OK, the most retro recipe I can make that doesn’t completely repulse me and/or my boyfriend. I went with meatloaf because everything about it feels very vintage Home Ec class. Admittedly, it’s not the kind of thing that I have fond memories of eating, but it’s simple enough to put together, and the Oh She…
#VeganMoFo Day 8 … Failure on a theme-level, success on a dinner-level. Pasta, kale, cabbage, tomatoes, black lentils, herb dressing with almond puree and lemon. Just needed to get dinner together with a minimum of heat, and this was all sitting around, just waiting to be used. Sauce was the following, thrown into a Vitamix:…
Pretty much spent Labor Day on food projects for MoFo, and washing dishes for those. Only one was for today’s theme. I like cooking a lot, but this may have been too much.
#VeganMoFo day 7: Make/eat something inspired by a book or movie

Versions of it can be found at many Vietnamese and vegetarian Asian fusion-type restaurants, but we get ours at the Vegetarian House, a vegan mainstay…
#VeganMoFo Day 5, part II: Best BLT I can make, with homemade marinated tempeh bacon, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, Just Mayo, and Dave’s Killer Bread
#VeganMoFo Day 5: falafel wrap overlooking Silicon Valley before a Neko Case show. I posted this already, but the panorama shot made the actual falafel pic get lost, so… Apologies for the repost.
#VeganMoFo Day 5: Best? Sandwich Ever! Well, okay, a pretty good sandwich – falafel wrap – with a lovely view, just before the Neko Case concert
#VeganMoFo Day 4: Weird food combo you love
Maybe it’s a cop-out, but I can’t think of a single “weird” food combo I love. I watch so much food TV that any oddball combination I’d try seems based in legit cooking techniques. I even tried asking by boyfriend if he could think of something that fits the brief: Boyfriend’s been vegan since he…
