…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…
#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…
#VeganMoFo Day 17: Make or eat a traditional local dish
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region well-known for food, but not of the traditional sort – or rather, the tradition is creating and integrating new traditions. So this theme is a bit difficult to grasp. At first I thought about what the Ohlone people ate–but Wikipedia states that their “staple diet…
#VeganMoFo Day 16: Favorite late summer food
You say tomato, I say tomato… This week’s tomato haul include dry-farmed heirlooms from Lonely Mountain Farm and a variety of cherry tomatoes from Tomatero Farm. I’ll make almost anything with tomatoes this time of year. They’re delicious. Tonight I decided to make a tofu frittata with cremini mushrooms and tomato slices right on top….
#VeganMoFo Day 15: Dinner for President Obama
I did my research: our president digs healthy food, or at least knows enough to say so for the press (you can’t be all, mmm, McDonald’s! when you’re married to Michelle). He digs green vegetables, healthy fats, and spice. Other than the salmon, I think Barack and I could get along fine at a dinner…
#VeganMoFo Day 14: Share something vegan with a non-vegan
Homer Simpson may have said it best when he chanted: “You don’t win friends with salad.” That’s why the Deities invented vegan cookies. Specifically, these chocolate chip cookies. Naturally, I can’t help but add my own stanza to this prayer of sweet and fat… a little kick of coffee. Just a tablespoon of instant coffee…
#VeganMoFo Day 13: Kitchen tour
Confession: I am a messy, messy person. My kitchen is seldom fully clean. So please, no judgment? I clean deeply before any guest situation (i.e. Thanksgiving), thanks to my clean-freak mom. Here’s a picture of the heart of the space from one of these better times… That said, I’m really happy with my kitchen. It…
Just a little something for brunch… Roasted sweet and purple potato with cashew cream, marinated tempeh strips, wilted spinach
