Boring story short, I was out on the suburban west side yesterday for an appointment, and the redeeming factor follows: Northwest baked Veggie Buns! The brand is based in Seattle, WA and these buns are refrigerated, alleviating the mysterious and often gross frozen food factor. I have been on the search for more-than-decent (and non-frozen) … Continue reading »

The MoFo Farewell, alla Vodka
Happy last day of MoFo! I haven’t quite been keeping to my proposed theme and daily posting as much as I intended, but I like to think that posting elsewhere (and co- planning a vegan bloggers conference, zomg!!!) has helped make up for it a tiny bit.

When doesn’t that happen? First, I trimmed the tops off the unpeeled, mini eggplant wonders and sliced them in half, length-wise. This was roasted in … Continue reading »
The Intrigue of the Pizza: balsamic beets, sweet corn & cauliflower basil ricotta
Cauliflower Basil Ricotta. Basically, I substituted semi-boiled cauliflower and a small handful of cashews for the primary component of the tofu ricotta recipe in Veganomicon. I added more basil, nutritional yeast and a bit of miso to overpower the ‘flower. The pizza had both creative toppings and very particular slicing. The dough was spread with … Continue reading »
