Happy Halloween and happy last day of VeganMoFo!  Today I made an assortment of cookies! Sugar cookies in the shape of pumpkins, kitties, and ghosts.

 Cold, windy nights equal comfort food for me. Here is a quick and easy bow tie pasta with Daiya cheese, sprinkled with bread crumbs and baked. Next to that you see Field Roast’s  Smoked Tomato loaf which is fabulous and all you have to do is heat it up! I typically put it in a [...] Continue reading →

So I am starting to get a bit paranoid that my supply of fresh sweet corn is about to come to an end. I love eating seasonal, local produce because it just tastes better but I typically get sad when certain things “go away”, especially corn! I can’t complain though, I have eaten a ton [...] Continue reading →

Give that [...] Continue reading →

Everyone that knows me knows I love corn – heck, I think it should be its own food group – its that good and versatile! When I saw this recipe on the tester site for Terry Hope Romero’s upcoming Vegan Latina  book (yeah, yeah, I’m talking about this again!) I knew I had to make [...] Continue reading →

So I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never had oyster mushrooms.  I typically stick to white, crimini, shiitake, and portabellas. Part of the reason I enjoy testing so much is because it gives me the opportunity to try new things. I’ve been wanting to try oyster mushrooms so when I saw a recipe [...] Continue reading →

So it is finally starting to cool off here in Los Angeles and fall produce is starting to make its grand entrance at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market! I went gourd crazy and got 2 pumpkins, a butternut squash, and an acorn squash! I had to show restraint because I still wanted more. I also picked up [...] Continue reading →
