My husband Kevin and I eloped in November 2009. We decided instead of having a big crazy wedding, we’d just swing by the courthouse and throw a low-key party later. Before we even got married, we knew we were going to have all vegan food at our party, and we knew that awesome food would [...]

I tried two new recipes this weekend. The first was Karina’s Sweet Potato & Black Bean Enchiladas from the Gluten-Free Goddess blog. Take a look at the tastiness: These really were very good. I love just about anything with black beans and sweet potatoes, and these were no exception. I was afraid it was going [...]

I’m a little late hopping on the New Year’s Resolution train, but whatever. My new year goals almost always involve eating healthier, shedding pounds, exercising more, writing more . . . it doesn’t change much. So here’s what I’m working toward in 2010. 1) Eliminating sodas. When I was in high school I stopped drinking [...]

Spiral Diner is hands-down my most favorite restaurant ever. Spiral is a vegan restaurant that opened in Fort Worth in 2002. I’ve been going ever since opening week and I’ve rarely had a thing I didn’t like. Spiral has a regular rotation of Blue Plate Specials. Past ones have included the Festivus Sandwich (cranberry pecan [...]

Sunday night we went to a vegan potluck Christmas party, so I decided to make VeggieGirl’s Gluten-Free Blondies. They went fast and got lots of compliments. And they really don’t taste gluten free. I doubled the recipe and made a few modifications. Here’s how my version went: 12 ounces (2 single-serving sized containers) chocolate vegan [...]

Today, Kevin and I headed to the Bishop Arts District to do a little shopping and hanging out. Highlights included lunch at Cafe Brazil (no pics, unfortunately. I’d already eaten most of my meal before I thought of that )—they have an amazing Pumpkin Cheese cake with a brownie crust that I must veganize, shopping [...]

I made the sushi bowls again tonight, but this time they’re on a plate and I added sweet potato and steamed broccoli. The results? Deliciousness! I’m working on a cookie recipe I hope to post sometime next week. I made a test batch last night, and while they were pretty tasty, they had issues. I [...]
Oatmeal and Hot Cocoa

Here’s what I had for breakfast yesterday: I cooked 1/2 cup quick oats with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, then topped it with a drizzle of agave, a little almond butter, and a few dried cranberries. This was the best experience I’ve had so far with oatmeal and nut butter. [...]
Whole Wheat Vegetarian Sausage Balls

When I was little my mom made those Bisquick sausage balls all the time, and boy did I love them. They were the perfect tiny spicy snack. Having been vegetarian for the last 12 years, I’ve missed them, and a year ago I finally decided to take a whack at making vegetarian ones and they [...]
Asian Food Orgy or Frozen Food Night? You Decide . . .

Yesterday, I had this for breakfast: A big, juicy apple (Fuji, I think) and almond butter. I love apples and nut butter, and I haven’t had this combo in so long. Perfect breakfast. I should definitely have it more often. Definitely got me out of the breakfast rut I’ve been in. Tonight was either an [...]
