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.

Stray dog survies gas chamber

Thu, 27 Jul 2006 14:40:14 -0500

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.

Habanero Sauce

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

Okara "Crab Cakes", Wonder Bread dissed

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 15:54:35 -0500

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.

I just kind of got.... distracted

Is that sushi, or are you happy to see me?

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

A Seitanic Experience

Sat, 08 Jul 2006 15:21:14 -0500

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.

Wraps, Salads and Sprouts

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.

Chipotle Black Bean Burgers

Sun, 02 Jul 2006 13:05:41 -0500

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:

Getting Ready for the weekend

Fri, 30 Jun 2006 10:08:56 -0500

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!

More recipes, Asian Theme

Sun, 23 Oct 2005 18:13:28 -0500

I'm teaching an Asian Vegetarian class tomorrow night and I thought I'd share the recipes with you all. By the way, I teach through Portsmouth Community Education and I have more classes coming up in November if anyone is interested. I will be teaching a Frugal Vegetarian Class, Vegetarian Pizza Party and Vegetarian Appetizers.

Recipes from my cooking class

I teach cooking classes Community Education. Tonight I am doing a Fall Italian night with a similar menu that I talked about in my Budget Dinner Party entry. Here are the recipes I am using tonight. Feel free to copy them, but please give me credit for them (except for the cake recipe, that has been adapted from a popular war-time recipe).

Seitan

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 14:07:43 -0500

I am back on the Frugal Bandwagon as of yesterday. I pulled out my Vital Wheat Gluten ($1.95/lb in the bulk section of your local health food store) and made Seitan. http://www.vrg.org/recipes/vjseitan.htm
The link will give you lots of info and some basic recipes if you’re interested. Seitan contains approximately 25 grams of protein per 4oz serving. If you plan on making this make sure you buy Vital Wheat Gluten flour and not just “high gluten” flour.
