I totally missed-out on my Thursday and Friday Vegan MoFo posts, so rather than get back into recounting my 3-month NZ and Southeast-Asia travel adventures, I thought I'd share a new recipe with you. As mentioned previously, I now live really close to one of Toronto's great Fresh Restaurants and find...

Fresh Tomato, Basil and Lemon Zucchini Pasta

September 5, 2011
IMG_7879_thumb
Here's another one of the great meals that my little mommy made for me when I was home last month. I love the fact that it uses fresh zucchini (courgettes) as the pasta. I've used zucchini as pasta before (normally raw with a pesto or vegan alfredo cream sauce), but because...

Green Gazpacho
If you've been following my last few posts, you'll know that I'm currently on vacation in Ottawa Canada. Right now, I'm staying with my parents and it's actually more of a "semi-vacation" at the moment since I'm working half-days and running around doing a bunch of different errands the rest...

Quick & Easy Tofu Sandwich

June 14, 2011
Tofu Sandwich
I started making this sandwich back in high school, and although I don't consider it a real "recipe", it's something that I make from time to time when I'm craving a sandwich or I'm in need of a quick meal. It can be easily customized to your personal sandwich preferences...

Chili Soup (Kidney Bean Soup)
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...

Vegan Quiche
Yesterday, I happened upon a package of puff pastry dough in my freezer and decided that it was about time that I use it. The other items in my fridge and pantry inspired me to come up with this vegan quiche, which was really yummy and which I'll definitely make...

Roasted Fresh Tomato Soup

April 15, 2011
Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup
I got a little carried away at the farmer's market last week and found myself with too many tomatoes. I didn't really feel like making the obvious thing - pasta sauce - so I decided to hunt for a tomato soup recipe instead. While my mom made many wonderful homemade soups...

Spiked Gazpacho
I came across Joel Luks' Vegan Good Eats blog a while back and bookmarked just about every recipe on there. The food that he makes is creative and beautiful, and his quirky sense of humor shows in every comment and detail. I finally got around to making one of his recipes...

Avocado Mango Black Bean Salad
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...

Pesto-Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes

October 20, 2010
Pesto-Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
Last night, dinner was taking longer than planned, so I needed a quick appetizer that I could quickly put together to fend-off starvation.  I had some cherry tomatoes on hand, as well as some frozen vegan pesto, so I decided to combine the two. I originally thought of slicing the tomatoes...

Minestrone Soup with Pesto

Minestrone Soup with Pesto
My amazing mom has been making this soup for years and it's one of my all-time favorites. I love the chunkiness of the vegetables and it's really more of a stew than a soup. I've seen people who "hate vegetables" (!?!), ask for seconds of this soup. Seriously, it's that...

I cut this recipe from Vegetarian Times magazine about 10 years ago (am I really this old?!) and it sat untried in my recipe binder until I finally got around to "veganizing" it this year. I've since made it a few times because it's just so delicious and I can...

Chana Masala for Dummies

September 29, 2010
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...
