How strange, none of my past pictures are showing up.. hmm.. It may be because I've been copying text from my food blog on blogspot.

I am so sick.. so sad... I can't believe that it is acceptable to use GAS to "euthanize" dogs.. (or any animal, I'm sure they do it to cats too)... How can anyone do this? How is this legal, OK? We have to figure out a way to stop this.

I am a fan of all things hot and spicy, especially the Habanero Pepper...

I love the web, there is so much information to be gleaned. I make my own soymilk and by-product is Okara. I often turn this into burgers or use it in bread, (it has a lot of fiber and protein) so I was excited to run accross a recipe that uses Okara.

Sushi, sushi, sushi, a vegan doesn't eat sushi! Well, I do.. and I stuff it with different ingredients and make a meal out of it

I have a confession...... I am not a big fan of Seitan. The texture is too meaty for my liking, but it's something that my husband and younger son like, (my older son doesn't like it and won't eat it unless it's ground) so I make a batch every week or so. Since discovering this lovely vegan blogworld and Bryanna's website, I realize that there are ways to make it more palatable.

I love big batch cooking and do it often, so it's easy to throw together quick meals, especially in the summer when the kids are home and it's hot.

I make all kinds of veggie burgers.. but I think my favorite one ever is my Chipotle burger... It's delicious. I usually make a big pot of black bean mixture each week and use it in several different dishes. Here is how I made my black bean mixture:

In the summer, I do a lot of big batch cooking so I don't have to turn the stove or oven on in the heat. Since it's supposed to heat up this weekend I have started cooking!
