This won’t fool your kids into thinking it came from a blue box, but Husband and I find it rather delightful– the complete lack of cholesterol is a side bonus. We call it Broccoroni and Cheese.
There was a bar near the school where Husband and I met that always had pretzels on the stand. There is something about pretzels, mustard and beer that still makes me feel collegiate and ready for scarf season.
“A man taking basil from a woman will love her always.” – Thomas More I wonder what happens to that man and woman if the basil is substituted with spinach? Does Utopia collapse?
A few weeks ago we visited some relatives in The City where there just so happen to be scads of exclusively vegan restaurants. What the frick?
“The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Holidays have become an excuse to coax Husband into trying experimental desserts. Although I certainly confabulate about them enough, I actually don’t make dessert that often. On holidays, however, I have a perfect excuse to drench the kitchen in flour while I whip up something delicious and then leave the mess there for six hours– [...]
What is it about grilling that makes food taste so much better than the indoor interpretation? I find this especially vexing since we have a gas grill, and therefore the lovely “outdoor” taste cannot be explained by charcoal or actual burning wood. Nevertheless, it’s grilling season. Let’s do this.
“Truth will rise above falsehood as oil above water” – Miguel de Cervantes And the truth is, The Selfish Vegan was gifted a sweet set of love handles from Baby D a few months ago.

If ever you need a salty snack that won’t make you hate yourself, kale chips are it. I know, you already hate yourself for caving to mainstream pressure; you must have an iPhone 4 or you’ll die! But just in case you’re wrong, and slogging along with the last phone you mortgaged your home for [...]
“The variety of all things forms a pleasure.” –Euripides Eating the same thing every day is a tragedy for your taste buds sure, but it also means
A lot of people use fast food as a last resort. Something to eat when traveling, running late, or attempting to do thirty things at one time. Since there are no vegan entrees on the menu at Chez McDonald’s, we have been effectively cut off from this disgusting crutch. What materialized, is a go-to sandwich [...]
Fruit may be “Nature’s Candy,” but few children will agree with that statement. I am no autocrat, especially when faced with doleful toddler eyes, so I can occasionally be persuaded to compromise. Enter the vegan chocolate cup– a pleasing pedestal for more nutritious, though equally tempting, fruit, soy yogurt, frozen coconut milk ice cream… the [...]
Many wonder if we feel deprived since adopting a vegan diet. In case you haven’t noticed the giant picture of chocolate chip cookies*, the short answer is no. The long answer is slightly more involved.
To properly enjoy this “poetry,” you’ll need to visualize me in dramatic repose on a gilded chaise lounge, reciting orally the following words:
The Selfish Vegan is attempting to reacquaint herself with the kitchen. What in the name of Natalie Portman’s shoes is a Mandolin Slicer for?
