Sandwich and Scalloped Potatoes.

Baked tofu and tempeh bacon recipe from You Won't Believe It's Vegan! Cookbook. Made a delicious sandwich!

With Daiya cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, Tabasco, a sprinkle of Maldon salt and black pepper. Yummy.

Same cookbook. Creamy, oniony, dilly scalloped potatoes.

Hoppy Birdy Bowie.

Wish you were still here with us. 

I'm still celebrating with more cookies. These are also from a retro recipe from a great 60's cookie book that I own. I subbed applesauce (4 oz) for the egg. I also left out the nuts.

Secret Ingredient Two Chip Cookies

Got this recipe from a nifty cookbook and veganized it by using ener-g egg replacer for the egg. Didn't spread out very much but I loved the flavor. Mine came out crisp on the outside with a nice chewy and slightly crunchy texture due to the secret ingredient: potato chips!

Not a vegan book at all but fun to look through. I think I'll be able to veganize a few more recipes.


And since it's Bowie's birthday weekend, why not celebrate with cookies? (Maybe not toss them in the air though!)

Comfort food dinner.

Lazy is what I am today. I wanted something comforting and quick to prepare. 

Grilled Daiya cheese sandwich. 

With a bowl of healthy boxed tomato soup.

Made by Progresso believe it or not. Was ok. A little too smoky for my tastes.

Chickpea Melt and other stuff.

Delicious chickpea melt I made today for lunch using Daiya cheese. 

Thai noodles I had yesterday with leftover vegan turkey.

Snack: good old pb and pickle. No, this is not a pregnancy craving. Got the idea from Sue Grafton's detective novels.

Office Xmas dinner at local Italian restaurant Matteo's. This is the spaghetti pomodoro.

My boss threw me a baby shower at work. Food was caterer from Crimson Mediterranean.

And for dessert, cupcakes from Rising Hearts bakery that specializes in vegan and gluten free desserts.

Isa's chocolate chip cookies that are always welcome!

Chicken Nachos!

Was in the mood for chicken nachos yesterday so I came home and made them. I fried up some Gardein chicken and chopped it into little pieces. I melted Earth Balance margarine, added plain soymilk, hot sauce, and Daiya cheese and simmered over heat to melt it into a cheese sauce. I layered tortilla chips, refried beans, cheese sauce, chicken, more taco sauce, jalapenos and Vegenaise to make the perfect plate of nachos. It was soooo good!
