Vegan Pad Thai (Noodle-Free!)
Have you ever met anyone who doesn’t like Pad Thai? Or at least respect it? Cherish it? Write weird love letters to it that aren’t really all that weird because you just don’t understand what we have because love and Pad Thai and love? What I’m getting at is that I think everyone harbors at […]
Sesame Crusted Tofu and Green Beans
There are a couple things you can do with the leftover sesame and flax seeds from your Vegan Raw Crunch Bars. You can accidentally spill them from time to time, place to place, ensuring you’ll find a seed or twelve in your hair along with the copious amount of dog hair in places it doesn’t […]
Valentine’s Day Peanut Butter Spinach Cakes Two Ways
It’s been way too long since I’ve put peanut butter where it doesn’t belong. And I’m not counting all those times I’ve slathered it on my face in a masque like fashion. Peanut butter definitely belongs there. It’s been even longer since I last outlined my heart shaped food with a sriracha. What the hell […]
Steamed Celery in Peanut Sauce
Ok, maybe I misread the menu. Maybe it’s because I can’t read. Maybe a lot of things. But when I ordered Steamed Salad* from Red Hot II in my Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope via Seamless last week, I’m not sure what I was expecting but it probably wasn’t celery in peanut sauce. Luckily celery […]
Sweet and Smoky Tofu over Spicy Leek Ribbons and Green Beans
This morning I had a severe case of tofu autopilot. I woke up and – without any hesitation or thought or teeth brushing or clothes putting on-ing – I went to my fridge, pulled out a big package of tofu, cut it open, drained it, wrapped it in paper towels, and plopped it down between […]
By popular demand…DIY Vegan Wonton Wrapper Recipe + a Thanksgiving Snackum
If you loved my vegan lasagna for two or my vegan lasagna bites but you can’t find eggless wonton wrappers/pressed tofu skins in even the most charming of your local Chinatown’s convenience stores (it smells like dried shark in here!), you don’t have to cry anymore. Unless you’re sad about something else. I won’t pry. Just […]
Local Goods: Dao Palate in Park Slope & How to Rationalize Ordering Three Dishes for One Person
Three pan-asian vegan dishes for one person? The rationale is simple: Dao Palate is really, really tasty. And you know what? You deserve all the delicious Dao Palate entrees your little fingers can “Add to Bag” on the Seamless app. When you request 4 sets of plastic cutlery so that the delivery guy won’t judge you, you’ve […]
PBuTLT – Peanut Butter Tofu, Lettuce and Tomato Wrap (Homemade Tortillas Optional)
Things are getting out of control. Peanut butter is taking over my life. Or my life is taking over peanut butter. I CAN’T EVEN TELL ANYMORE. You know what I’m going to do about it? The thing I do best: give away milk for free so no one needs the cow Ima ride this baby out. […]
[Raw] [Vegan] Cucumber Veggie Rolls
What’s the easiest, almost-looks-fancy, toothpick related finger food you can make that doesn’t include pigs and blankets and pigs inside of said blankets? Vegan Cucumber Veggie Rolls. Raw ones. Or with cauliflower rice. Maybe. Damn girl, you look almost fancy. Also, ever since going full-blown vegetarian, I’ve learned to embrace vegetarian sushi. And maybe you’ve […]
Quiche of the Week: Kimchiche
Quiches have a few constants. Eggs. Cheese. Some more cheese and eggs. And then there’s Chinese food, which has its own invariable qualities. The most important one being that Chinese food would taste good even if you were eating it from a dirty shoe. It would not taste good, however, if there was also cheese […]
