Yes, I know. It’s a salad.
Who wants to go to a vegan website and see a recipe for salad? I keep salads to an absolute minimum around here. So when one does show up, it’s a freakin’ delicious salad.
And this one is definitely freakin’ delicious.
I’ve had the idea [...] Continue reading →

So how about we get this yummy vegan train back up and running again? Let’s talk teriyaki.
This isn’t a real teriyaki sauce, but it’s definitely inspired by one. Teriyaki sauce is one of those things that is really easy to make at home successfully, so if you’ve been going without or buying expensive [...] Continue reading →

Hi everyone.  I try to keep personal posts off of this blog, because it’s a vegan recipe blog and not a blog about my life, but I think a personal post is needed.
I’m sorry for the unplanned absence in posting.  The book was really stressful for me to complete, and I needed some mental space [...] Continue reading →

Alright, are you ready for the first recipe preview from the VYY cookbook?
This is one of my favorite recipes in the book. I make it almost once a week. It’s the perfect creamy pasta sauce when you’re feeling like alfredo. It’s also a great sauce for casseroles, over steamed veggies, on top [...] Continue reading →

I think we’re being taken over by fried green tomatoes. I’ve never had fried green tomatoes before. I went to the farmers market, and there was a lovely and beautiful looking pile of green tomatoes. I had to buy them. HAD TO.
So I get home and I ask my twitter pals [...] Continue reading →

Kuchen means cake in German. There are as many different kinds of kuchen as there are kinds of cake.
I saw this recipe for upside-down plum kuchen in the latest issue of Gourmet Magazine, and I just had veganize it. I’m glad I did, because the cake base of this kuchen might now be [...] Continue reading →

This salad isn’t exactly… healthy. What it is, exactly, is delicious. And it has a surprise. There’s no lettuce. The greens are baby spinach, and raw kale.
Stay with me, here!
Yes, I said raw kale. I know you are thinking that I have finally gone off the vegan deep end. [...] Continue reading →

I thought I needed only one pancake recipe.
Man was I wrong.
Now, I’m not the plan-ahead type. It’s really a challenge for me to prep food for the following day; not only am I lazy, I’m also pretty fickle. My cravings can disappear nearly as quickly they arrive, so planning ahead doesn’t always work [...] Continue reading →

Sorry for the absence, I got pretty sick and needed to take some time off from… everything. Before asparagus season passes us by (it will be gone before you know it!), I thought I’d offer up this simple but flavorful and beautiful side dish.
There are lots of times where I’d like to make a [...] Continue reading →
