Cheese Without.
Sunday, February 6, 2011
Husband grew up eating cheesesteaks on the sidewalk in South Philadelphia at one in the morning. These weren’t the cheesesteaks you get at ripoff chain restaurants or in gourmet establishments with words like “authentic!” or “Philly!” on the menu. He enjoys being vegan, but if you were to twist his arm I’m sure he’d admit [...]
They’re fast.

They’re PB&C.

Everyone loves the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I have occasionally heard of people that didn’t, but they were obviously just trying to be nonconformist. Since I have recently re-discovered peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, I’ve been submitting everyone I know to forcible dessert. And now, I’ll push them on you as well:
It’s Broccoroni & Cheese.

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.
No Water.

I know. Brussels Sprouts. I am aware that you may harbor profound brussels sprout-related anxiety and disgust, but please– are they really so bad? Well, when you boil or steam them, yes.
Sweet.

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?

Naughty Naughty Grapefruit.
Friday, June 25, 2010
Have you ever caramelized grapefruit? I might have an emotional bias because I wasn’t allowed to sprinkle my grapefruit with sugar as a child, but I think it is luscious. I’m currently visiting my family and have overcome this childhood trauma by serving everyone caramelized grapefruit and watercress salads* which roughly translates to: sugar-coated grapefruit and [...]
Computer Chips.
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
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 McFu.
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
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 [...]
It’s Seitan. Make Some.
Friday, June 4, 2010
Put on your aprons folks. It’s time to make seitan! I know what you’re thinking and I’ll answer that thought for you right off the bat– yes, you can buy seitan pre-made at the grocery store. But why would you want to when you can make it so easily at home? A couple of things: [...]
Maybe you should just try it.

My parents think mayonnaise is repulsive. I think my father might have liked mayonnaise once upon a time, but my mother unapologetically crushed that vice out of him early on in their marriage. (I plan to follow suit with Husband and his inexplicable love of florescent orange “cheese” balls.)
Do you feel deprived?
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
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.
