Think vegans can’t have an old fashioned taffy pull? Think again! My daughters have been asking to make taffy for quite some time. Since their grandparents were due for a visit, we planned our taffy making desires around their stay. While not completely successful, we had a lot of fun making the taffy. We used [...]
With the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving Day less than a week away, I’m finalizing my family’s meal. For the past five or so years we’ve either gone to a vegan potluck or out to Lovin’ Spoonfuls for their vegan Thanksgiving meal (which we highly recommend). This year, with a super busy schedule the last few [...]
My husband used to really like Chicken Cordon Bleu before we decided to be a vegan family. I recently saw Silk cream at the store and thought to try and make a vegan version of this old favorite. Upon first bite, Greg stopped and muttered, “Wow, this is good.” Second and third bites and all [...]
Here’s a quick and easy vegan artichoke dip I recently made: VEGAN ARTICHOKE DIP: 2 bags frozen artichokes ~1/2 cup vegan mayonaisse (Vegenaise and Nasoya are my favorites) 1 package Vegan Gourmet mozzarella cheese ~1/4 cup vegan parmesan (lots of versions – they are all good) Thaw artichokes. Mix all ingredients (I didn’t measure, so [...]
Due to popular demand from my “Enchilada Casserole” post, here is my Vegan-Friendly Prickly Pear Barbeque Sauce recipe. Once I realized that we were going to be able to get a large harvest of prickly pear fruit this past summer, I started reading up on various things people do with prickly pear fruit. Other than [...]
Carrot cake is my absolute favorite kind of cake. Problem is, I’ve only had one great one since I became vegan (although I’ve tried a bunch). So, as a birthday surprise my daughters and husband made me a homemade carrot cake. It was, by far, the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted. It is dense [...]
A delicious and hearty recipe for home or on-the-go food is runzas. These are originally made with ground beef. As vegans, we go without the animal. Here’s our veganized version of this classic recipe. Lisa’s Lowfat Vegan Runzas: 3 packages Morningstar Boca Vegetable Crumbles (TVP and/or Boca brand work great, too) [NOTE: Morningstar crumbles are not [...]
My 12 year old daughter came up with (and made) these recipes on her own. She even took the photos. It is similar to my Mexican Lasagna Casserole, but different. Zoë’s Enchilada Casserole Version 1: Green chili peppers – two flat layers Corn tortillas – one layer Vegan Nacho cheese – one layer Boca Chicken-less [...]
When a vegan gets a craving that involves non-vegan food, what should she do? Well… The other day, my daughters and I were talking about grandparents and one thing led to another and I was recalling a time when my mom and my mom’s dad (my Grandpa) and I went out to eat at Maid-Rite [...]
My favorite desserts are chocolate turtles and pecan pie. While I’ve yet to eat a vegan pecan pie that truly satisfies me, I’ve had several different turtle recipes (from restaurants) that I’ve adored even more than the original non-vegan version that I first fell for. So, my daughters and I set out to make our [...]
