Hurry Up Alfredo
This comes from Lauren Ulm’s cookbook, Vegan Yum Yum and is by far the best non-dairy “cheese” sauce I’ve tasted yet! The only thing I changed was adding 1/2 C Tofutti sour cream which made this sauce perfectly creamy! INGREDIENTS: 3-4 C small pasta Sauce: 1 C soy milk 1/3 rounded raw, unsalted cashews 1/4…
Queso is Back!!
Finally! I have found a queso I can eat!! You’d never know this is dairy-free! It makes about 4 cups, so it’s perfect for a get together. INGREDIENTS: 1 Tbs olive oil 1/2 C minced onion (I just chopped them really fine) 1/4 C oat flour or finely ground old fashioned oats ( I ground…
Grilled Portobellos with Rosemary-Roasted Vegetables
The great thing about portobello mushrooms (besides their great flavor) is that they’re so versatile and can be grilled, baked, sauteed–you name it. I added balsamic vinegar and burgundy wine to this recipe, but you can certainly leave them out–I just find that both of those go beautifully with mushrooms. INGREDIENTS: 1 large red onion,…
Thai Peanut-Burger Wraps with Spicy Peanut Sauce
These require a little bit of (easy) prep work and they’re well worth it! I also think they’d taste great as the next day’s cold lunch. INGREDIENTS: Burgers: 1/2 C chopped red onion 1/2 seeded and chopped green bell pepper 2 garlic cloves 2 tsp peeled and minced fresh ginger 1/2 C unsalted dry-roasted peanuts…
Herb-Roasted Potatoes
These are great for a side dish or if you’re like me, just to have a plateful! Feel free to vary up the spices to your liking; this is a basic recipe for roasting potatoes. The options for seasonings are pretty endless. INGREDIENTS: 10 small russet potatoes, scrubbed (not peeled) and cut into large wedges…
My Favorite Hummus and Pita Chips
I make this hummus all the time. It’s inexpensive, high in fiber, packed with protein and delicious! It’s also easy to change it up with other flavors such as olives, roasted red pepper or artichokes. In fact, in one of my recent magazines, it was listed as one of the ten best foods you could…
Seitan Fajitas
I love that there is a tasty alternative to meat. Even The Husband went so far as to say that he liked these better than chicken. This…coming from a man who absolutely loved chicken! Maybe it’s because seitan really, truely has the same texture and similar flavor to meat, particularly chicken, but none of the…
Miso Soup with Tofu and Baby Spinach
This soup has all my favorite ingredients! Mushrooms, spinach, tofu, green onion….It’s a very light soup that would go great with half a sandwich and is tasty, tasty, tasty! Plus, with prep and cook time, it was ready in about 25 minutes. This is great soothing soup–it’s the new chicken soup. Add or substitute your…
Soyrizo Layer Dip
Meat-eaters won’t know the difference! I like to use Soyrizo instead of refried beans because it adds so much flavor. Soyrizo needs no seasoning, isn’t raw and can be served cold or heated up. I served this dip cold and didn’t tell people it was vegan. It was gone in a matter of minutes! The…
Ginger-Molasses Bread
Mmmm…this tasted like it came from my Grandmother’s kitchen! And it smelled wonderful, too! Plus, it was a breeze to make–ten minutes of prep work and it was in the oven. INGREDIENTS: 1 C warm soy milk 1 Tbs cider vinegar 2 C all-purpose flour 1/2 C yellow cornmeal 1/3 C sugar 1 Tbs ground…
