Meatless, Dairy-Less Lasagna Recipes

VEGdaily — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:10:16 +0000

A non-vegan friend of mine told me he’d have a hard time going vegan because he loves lasagna. Little does he know, plant-based lasagna can be incredible if you have the right recipe. I reached out to my Facebook friends for their favorites, and 2 of them responded with incredible recipes. I haven’t tried them, but they look delicious and fun to make.

Raw Vegan Asian Lettuce Wraps

VEGdaily — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 12:00:37 +0000

Any top chef fans out there? Though my loyalty to the show wavered significantlywhen they awarded the title to season 5’s aging frat boy, Hosea, I’m still a devoted fan. I’ve actually been enjoying this season. I’m rooting for Angelo. Why? Because he’s arrogant, and arrogant cheftestants are by far the most fun to watch. I still miss Stefan like crazy.

Basic Low-Fat Coleslaw

VEGdaily — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:39:43 +0000

There’s been a surprising development in the V family kitchen. My daughter E has actually been asking for coleslaw, a food she used to have to be bribed to eat. This phenomenon began after I stopped buying bagged coleslaw and starting using fresh heads of cabbage. I could say that E likes the fresher taste of home-shredded cabbage, but that’s not it at all. The truth is that there’s something about pushing a wedge of cabbage through the shredding blade of a food processor that she enjoys, so I let her have her fun.

Vegan Corn And Zucchini Pancakes

VEGdaily — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:06:03 +0000

It’s always nice when a recipe you like seems to “take off” with other bloggers. This has been true recently of my sweet potato and chickpea burgers, which Matt and Katie have made recently, as well as a bunch of other bloggers and readers who have emailed me or left comments on the original post. Thank you guys for trying the recipe out! I hope you’ve enjoyed the sweet, dense taste and texture as much as I did when I first made the burgers.

My experience with the sweet potato burgers got me hooked on chickpea flour. Versatile, high-protein, and possessed of a starchy texture that’s fairly unique, chickpea flour is ideal for all sorts of pancakes, burgers, and bread recipes. Just check out the Twins’ socca adventures if you’re looking to be inspired!

Vegan Watermelon Custard. Dessert or Breakfast!

VEGdaily — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:03:18 +0000

For the first time this summer I indulged in a big bowl of watermelon - and the first thing that came to my mind: why didn’t I do this sooner?! How did I wait until the last month of summer to munch on this red, juicy, hydrating seasonal fruit treat?

…I’ll blame the idea of having to hull a giant heavy watermelon home to my walk-up apartment. Thank you Trader Joe’s delivery!

Fast And Easy Raw Treats: Balls And Holes

I have a confession to make: I love balls. Now that you have a clear image in your head.. get your mind out of the gutter! Lets move on! Balls are simply just a melange of goodness rolled up into one sweet, healthy and satisfying spherical concoction. I typically make huge batches of them and store in the freezer for random munchies throughout the day.

You Can Eat THAT Raw? Or, Wild Rice Salad

VEGdaily — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:05:58 +0000

I’m just home from work and about to head out again, but I wanted to check in a) because I love you all, and b) to share a recipe from the other evening.

As you can imagine, I tend to get a lot of emails along the lines of, “Can I eat __________ raw?” or “Is ________ a raw food?” My personal favorite was an email wherein someone asked me if stovetop oats were raw. “You mean the ones you boil for several minutes?” I wanted to reply.

But I understand these questions, at least in theory, because some of the foods you wouldn’t expect to be able to eat raw do in fact make for lovely raw meals. Take wild rice, for instance.

No Bake Brownies

VEGdaily — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:58:23 +0000

Somewhere between a brownie, a fudgey square, and an ‘oh my god’ exclamation, lies this fantastic dessert. Yet made with just fruits, nuts, and pure cacao, this treat is nutritionally on par with a natural energy bar or trail mix — what a deal! Not that you actually needed an excuse to eat a brownie.
