So, this is my first official blog post and guess what? It's a yummy recipe! Those of you who know me well will not be shocked. I am constantly looking for new, tasty and healthy vegan recipes to try and then share with my friends. I made this for the 4th of July weekend festivities and it was a big hit! The use of the white beans instead of vegan cream cheese gives this an extra super healthy boost, which I just loved. I will be making this again next weekend at a barbeque at my parents' house in the suburbs of Chicago (read: NOT vegan-friendlyville) and I'll bet you no one will even be able to tell it's vegan! So funny that I even have to "sneak" vegan things onto the menu, but god forbid I say that it's vegan...nobody will eat it and I'll be stuck eating all of it! I guess I could live with that! ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip (adapted from Yeah That Vegan Shit ) 1 can Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed 1 tbsp olive oil 1 sma...

Ethiopian Seitan with Peppers

This is an oldie (meaning I've been making it since going vegan in 2009), but a really good goodie from my favorite vegan chef on earth, Isa Chandra Moskowitz's fantastic cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance. Apparently I'm on an African kick now, which is great during this cold and flu season. I firmly believe the spices used in this dish (and the Senegalese recipe) keep me from getting sick. The only danger is the possibility of overeating because it's THAT good. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do in our house. Also, invite some friends over, because this recipe makes a LOT of food! I did add some other ingredients: tomatoes and onions, but the peppers stand on their own juuuust fine! Ingredients for the puree: I made this before my spice container makeover, obviously. 6 serrano chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped (Wear gloves!) 1 TBSP fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom 1/4 tsp. turmeric 1/4 tsp. ...

My Version of Little Baobab's Mafe Tofu...And it's BETTER.

SF locals may or may not have ever eaten at Little Baobab, a cozy, delicious Senegalese place that turns into a hot, sweaty nightclub latenight. After trying everything I could on the menu, my favorite dish there is their Mafe Tofu. Mafe is a peanut-based sauce traditionally slathered over meat. Thankfully, the fine folks at Little Baobab make a yummy vegan version that us veggies can enjoy. After my last visit, I told Jeff I wanted to try to make it at home and this is what I came up with. Quite a bit different, but dare I say, even better than the original! My version is filled with yams, potatoes, chickpeas, spinach, onion and tomatoes, but feel free to experiment with all kinds different veggies. I'm pretty sure this would work beautifully with nearly anything.* I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and the only picture I actually took is the one above. The rest I pinched off the internets. Next time I make this, I'll get some better snaps! Serves: 6-8 ...
