For the "...but protein" prompt today, I made some burgers. There's nothing quite as anti-vegan as ground up meat so I've made my beloved tempeh burger with some beet in it to make it look a little more "convincing" to someone who might be skeptical of vegan burgers. I've had the pleasure of trying the… Continue reading Tempeh Beet Burgers

Buckwheat Banana Bread
This is my response to the "unconventional grains" prompt! I love to bake with different grain flours often since most of my baking is gluten-free. I've experimented with all types of grain flours and some grain-free as well. I find that there is no "one" magical flour that can be substituted for wheat flour… Continue reading Buckwheat Banana Bread
Vegan MoFo: Spiced Sweet Potato and Greens
Today's prompt is everything that I love about this time of year: SPICES! Not that spice... I love warm spices. They always seem to find their way into my recipes in some form or another. I use cinnamon in almost everything. As I developed a taste for other spices, I discovered… Continue reading Vegan MoFo: Spiced Sweet Potato and Greens
Vegan MoFo: Chocolate Protein Nice Cream & Double Chocolate Oatmeal Protein Squares
Do you even protein, bro? So today's prompt is asking how I get my protein. I would imagine my question to this ever present question from non-vegans would be to show them a bit of a double whamey: a protein-packed breakfast. It's very difficult to come by vegan breakfast foods that are prepared… Continue reading Vegan MoFo: Chocolate Protein Nice Cream & Double Chocolate Oatmeal Protein Squares

Having nachos drowned in dairy cheese, sour cream and other fattening ingredients is junk, for sure. I decided to take today's prompt and "de-junk" nachos so that… Continue reading Vegan MoFo: Sprouted Spiced Black Bean Nachos
Vegan MoFo Day 1: Herbed Mushroom & Tempeh Veggie Burger
Happy Vegan MoFo, everyone! I'm proud to say that I'm participating again this year. I hope to contribute some solid recipes while following the prompts (somewhat, due to scheduling and general interest). I couldn't, however, ignore the first day! I love this idea: re-inventing a standard vegetarian option. All too often, as many vegans know,… Continue reading Vegan MoFo Day 1: Herbed Mushroom & Tempeh Veggie Burger
MoFo 7: Forbidden Ramen and Black Bean Croquettes
Quite simply, I thought this meal would look fabulous in black and white, as well as in color. These ingredients jumped to my mind when I saw this prompt so I ran with it. This is a quick blog post, as it's mainly about the picture! The recipe follows if you'd like to… Continue reading MoFo 7: Forbidden Ramen and Black Bean Croquettes
