Quinoa Falafel with Avocado Tahini Dressing
April 7, 2013
I've loved falafel ever since my aunt Annie introduced me to it as a kid. She took me to a Middle Eastern restaurant outside Montreal and ordered me a plate of vegetarian goodness, including tabouli, hummus, and falafel. At the time, I wasn't even sure exactly what I was eating,...

Note from Vegangela
One Green Planet asked me submit a Thanksgiving recipe again this year. Last year, I came up with some Quinoa-Stuffed Thanksgiving Squash, which is not only beautiful but also filling and nutritious. This year, I decided to prepare something a bit lighter. The full recipe is available on the One Green...

While the summer doesn't officially start here until December 1st, the weather has been absolutely amazing lately. Some of our friends have organized a BBQ in the park, and while they're providing the salads, I thought that I'd bring a couple things as well. I'll probably make some Quinoa Salad...

My dad is in the Canadian Armed Forces, so when I was growing up, we moved... a lot! We lived throughout Canada and the United States (where I attended high school). All in all, I attended 9 schools and got to experience and see first-hand a good portion of those...

So my brother and his good friend flew in from Canada yesterday and in all the excitement of showing them around the city and watching the rugby world cup games, I forgot to post my first entry for the Vegan Month of Food, or Vegan MoFo for short. MoFo say...

I came across this recipe after Heather from Where's the Beach left a comment on my Grilled Mediterranean Veggies with Bean Mash post. I clicked on her website link, and initially just bookmarked the recipe to try at a later date, but then I started to think about lunch, and...

August 30, 2011
As promised in my last post, here's one of the recipes that I made while visiting with my parents. I've been making this for a couple years now, and everyone always likes it. I know that it doesn't seem like much, but with a squeeze of fresh lemon, it's a light...

July 25, 2011
What do you do if you're leaving the house for almost a month and you have a head of cauliflower, a couple carrots, and a bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro) left in the fridge? You make Cauliflower and Lentil Coconut Curry!
Normally, the "day before vacation" meals are a quick stir-fry...

July 24, 2011
I know, I know... not another hummus recipe! A few of my friends here have asked for my humus recipe, and since I'm heading out of town for a month, I wanted to ensure that they had it before I left. I also wanted to share an awesome little trick...
Read the full post Tofu with Thai Coconut Peanut Sauce
July 19, 2011
This was inspired by a recipe for "Chicken with Thai Peanut Sauce" that I saw in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper a few years ago. Everything about the recipe was vegan except the chicken so it was very easy to veganize it by substituting tofu instead. While the sauce and tofu...

My mom subscribes to Canadian Living magazine, and it usually includes a really good vegetarian or vegan recipe. She diligently puts the vegan (or easily made vegan) recipes aside for me, and better yet, she makes a couple of the recipes for me whenever I'm in town. She made me this...

June 3, 2011
Check out this awesome kidney bean soup. Until I made this the other day, I had never had a kidney-bean based soup before - just the usual black or white bean variety. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a new favorite.
I've nicknamed it "chili soup" because it has...

May 27, 2011
About 5 years ago, I veganized my mom's chili recipe by replacing the ground beef with Yves veggie ground round. I made it like that for years, doubling the recipe, and freezing it so that there was always a warm comforting meal available at the drop of a hat.
Then, I...

April 5, 2011
I saw this recipe for Pistachio-Crusted Salmon a couple years ago in Canadian Living magazine and decided to try it using tofu instead. It works really well, and as fancy as it might sound, most of the ingredients are pretty basic. So other than finding some shelled pistachios, it should...

April 1, 2011
I found this recipe for General Tao's Tofu on VegWeb.com a couple years ago and have made it many times since with great success. It's a great version of the General Tao's chicken dish that is offered at many Chinese restaurants. The tofu has a nice crispy yet chewy texture....

My mom used to make this recipe and it's one of my all-time favorites. If you manage to find yourself in that perfect space-time-continuum where you have access to ripe mangoes and avocados at the same time, then this is the perfect recipe. I can't tell you how great this...

January 12, 2011
I've been making this recipe for years because it's so delicious - and by keeping frozen corn tortillas and store-bought enchilada sauce on hand, I can whip-up homemade vegan enchiladas in no time.
Notes
This recipe normally calls for 19oz of enchilada sauce, but I only had about half of that amount...

Vegan MoFo #30 I'm very sad to be posting my last entry for the Vegan Month of Food. It's been such an awesome experience, and I'm so happy to have connected with so many great vegan food bloggers from all over the world. It will take me the next 11...

Vegan MoFo #29 - I missed a post yesterday, which is disappointing because I was so proud of the fact that once I got settled from my vacation in Fiji, I posed everyday something everyday in November. I was really determined to make-up for the first 11 days of the Vegan...

Vegan MoFo #27 - There are only a few days left in November, and 2010 for that matter - can you believe it?! Here is my contribution for the last Saturday of the Vegan Month of Food. I veganized and added a few ingredients to this recipe from a 1995...

Vegan MoFo #20 - I spent the day on the beach so I don't have an elaborate recipe today. However, this is one of my favorite go-to recipes, and it wouldn't be right not to include it in the Vegan Month of Food initiative. My awesome mother made this salad...

This is an old recipe from Nasoya tofu that I've been making for years. It's great comfort food for me, and because the tofu-to-pasta ratio is so good, I don't feel so guilty eating the white-flour shells. I've also added a little bit of shredded carrot and nutritional yeast to...

October 2, 2010
I love making tofu scramble on the weekends. The ingredients are always a bit of a surprise, as I'll just use whatever veggies are left-over from the week. Red pepper (capsicum), mushrooms, spinach, rocket... all have been in there at some point. I also add turmeric, which really brightens the...

September 29, 2010
Yay! I submitted my Salt & Pepper Tofu recipe to VegWeb.com back in April and just realized that they finally posted it earlier this month. I guess there's a bit of a back-log over there, which is understandable considering the massive amount of recipes and info that they publish. I'm...

I make this all the time because it's so easy to make and I always have these basic ingredients in the pantry. It's not super authentic, but it's quick, easy, and tastes great.
My only complaint about a lot of Indian food is that it often lacks green veggies, which add so...
