Homemade tortillas make ANY taco at least twice as good

#VeganMoFo Day 28: Tacos vs. burritos
Here’s the thing: I was going to get a delicious burrito at my farmers’ market and then go home and make tacos and do a whole compare and contrast. But then my lower back (really, glutes) decided it was a great time to have a tantrum so doing much of anything is painful. (I even…
#VeganMoFo Day 27: Favorite herb or spice? Garlic!
It’s almost too obvious, but where would we be without garlic? What else is so versatile, so universal, so DELICIOUS? There are so many ways to use it. You can use it roasted or grilled, where each clove slips out of its husk with little effort and tastes sweet and smoky as it does pungent….
#VeganMoFo Day 26, part deux: breakfast potato … Nachos? Kinda? With kale, purple potato slices, black beans, and cashew sauce. Using up stuff in my fridge. Still in the spirit of the challenge, though tomatoes will be hard to find in the apocalypse.
#VeganMoFo Day 26: It’s snowing–what can you make with what you’ve got?
If it’s snowing that much in San Jose, the end times have arrived. So I’m making dessert. Ever since I wrote about Vegan With a Vengeance being my sentimental favorite cookbook, I’ve had a craving for the boozy chocolate pudding cake, which of late I’ve made with bourbon, but I am fresh out. What I…
#VeganMoFo Day 25: Favorite cuisine — Indian
The world is full of pretty amazing food, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to visit some of those places and eat some of that food. I’ve learned how to make curry from scratch in Thailand and gorged on falafel on Christmas in Paris. Even closer to home, I can explore one dinner at a time:…
#VeganMoFo Day 24: What Zombie Bourdain and Alternate Universe Nuge would cook if they were vegan.
I suppose this is a pretty well-trod territory as far as vegan mockery. Anthony Bourdain’s feelings about vegetarians are oft-repeated in these circles, so he’d have to be a zombie to go veg; Ted Nugent is an infamous hunter/asshole in this universe. None of this is news. So it’s really too obvious… but I couldn’t…
#VeganMoFo Day 23: Autumn equinox eats!
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….
