Vegan Mexican Quinoa Casserole
Since making the Spinach & Lemon Quinoa Bake in December, I've been inspired to cook up a quinoa casserole in the oven. I went with a Southwest/Mexican theme and was amazed at how well it came together. I have to say that I'm pretty excited by this new and easy way...

I came across this recipe and just knew I had to make it vegan. After a few modifications, it's now an awesome vegan dish that is even easier to put together than the original recipe. Recipe Notes I replaced the cottage cheese and eggs with vegan sour cream and Ener-G egg replacer. I...

IMG_8305_thumb
As much as I'd like to, I don't get the chance to visit a farmer's market each week. The truth is that I tend to do most of my shopping at regular grocery stores. In Sydney, this means Woolworth's (Woolie's for short) or Coles. While they don't stock every vegan...

Vegan Quiche

This is a really easy risotto recipe. It uses basic ingredients, and if you have a pot that can be used on the stove as well as in the oven, then it becomes a one-pot meal. Because it is finished in the oven, you've got creamy risotto in no time...

IMG_5708_thumb-wide
2011 has been pretty crazy for me. From hosting a good friend from back home over the holidays, to moving into a new pad downtown, to travelling back to Canada for a work conference and my mother's surprise 60th birthday, and finally meeting-up with my fiancé for 5 days of sight-seeing and...

Quinoa-Stuffed Thanksgiving Squash
Vegan MoFo #24 - When One Green Planet approached me last week and and asked if I could submit an original vegan Thanksgiving recipe, I jumped at the chance. Although I cook almost everyday, I don't often keep track of ingredients and whatnot. This was an opportunity to create and...

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms w/ Roasted Red Pepper Coulis

November 16, 2010
Stuffed Portabello Mushrooms w/ Roasted Red Pepper Coulis
Vegan MoFo #16 - It might seem weird, but in all my years as a vegan, I've never made stuffed mushrooms. There's no particular reason, as I love mushrooms and especially the earthy, hardiness of portabellos. I just never got around to it. However this week, I bought a large...

Tofu & Spinach Cannelloni (Manicotti)

October 22, 2010
Tofu & Spinach Cannelloni (Manicotti)
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...

Southwest Tofu Scramble

Southwest Tofu Scramble
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...

Chana Masala for Dummies
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...
