AJ asked: Did you make the bread? It all looks yummy!
No AJ, I wish I did though! it was gluten free/vegan Udi’s from WF! Actually it was a bit dry… Would like to master the gluten free bread making soon, but moist and vegan. soon…

sloppy joey’s and steak fries vegan (and gluten free) style…
I used tempeh as the “meat“
















theveggieblackboard asked: Holy crap, I love the look of those spring rolls. Might give them a shot myself. Love the blog!
thanks! yeah, you can just brush them with oil and bake em! they turn out super crispy too!
the recipe for these came from a friend’s book. she runs sticky fingers in washington dc. check her out-buy her book!





add some stuff…






then let it hang out for an hour…


i went sans nut because my stepdad prefers nut-less, and it was his birthday…

do a little kneading…

pop it in the fridge overnight to plump!

boy did it plump…

roll it out-12x24

fill it…

roll it up…


lick the edges and seal it up…

cut it down to a dozen…



this is my make shift proof box. someone needs to clean my oven…


also, as these photos indicate, i could use a real proof box…

in the oven-turned on this time…

outta the oven. the ones on the left i brushed agave on to make them shiny.

frost em… i didnt include the making of the frosting. but use your imagination…

i had my first attempt at a pho style vegan noodle soup the other day. heres what it looked like… (i forgot i was a food blogger [poser] until AFTER the first step, which was really cool looking. take my work for it)

to make the broth, i started with unpeeled shallots, garlic, and onion, as well as star anise, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and cloves. i dry roasted the crap out of all this before adding veggie stock.

i used mint, chive, onion, garlic, and basil from the garden.

i chose to keep the tofu fresh rather than fried, and opted for the sprouted bean tofu.

brown rice noodles…

tamari of course…













i need to invest in larger bowels…


i made some miscellaneous pepper hot sauce today from the garden. kris’s recipe, my adaptations. should turn out awesome! just a cup of vinegar, some sweetener to taste, a couple garlic cloves and as many peppers as your poor little hands can mince!

some (green) tomatoes from the garden (wa literally had about 300), which on tofurkey day i turned into fried green tomatoes. i have no pictures from the 5 hours i spent cooking on thursday morning, because i am a terrible blogger. but believe me, they were beautiful and they were delicious.

kris made balsamic braised brussel sprouts, which we also don’t have a fun foto of, but here is him harvesting the baby cabbage plants!

The unappetizing process of turning living animals into butchered body parts begins at birth and ends in youth – whatever...
This picture, from British dentist Toby Dignum, is insanely cute. Turns out, hamsters eat spaghetti all the time.
