Vegan Red Beans and [Cauliflower] Rice
You know that song by Usher called Confessions? Yeah, me neither. So I googled it – turns out there is not just one set of Usher-ed confessions, but two. Which is weird because I’m pretty sure the only thing Usher has ever done that’s worth of confessing is being the smuggest little bitch on earth […]
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 […]
Personalized Baked Tofu Nuggets
Here’s a tip: when you’re entering the world of baking with avocado instead of butter for the first time, make sure you have some leftover tofu in your fridge that’s literally dying to be made into emergency tofu nuggets. Otherwise, you’re just being irresponsible. Yeah so my first foray into avocado-ed baking was a bust. […]
TOFU SCRAMBLE WRAPS with MAPLE PEANUT BUTTERNUT SQUASH SPREAD and SPICY CHAYOTE RELISH
there are so many words in this title! let me know why! now! Sometimes these posts, these recipes, are inspired by Facebook. My own statuses, to be exact.

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 […]
Purple Cabbage Soup
Once upon a January, Super Flu Sandy (go with it) killed all of New York. This place was straight up Contagioned except there was better acting and Lawrence Fishburn was suspiciously absent. skip to the recipe faster than Contangion skipped over plot holes… So where were you when the FrankenFlu hit? I was at work. […]
Hot and Spicy Seitan Tenders
I’ve always loved condiments. In middle school, I’d eat condiments for lunch. And like, that’s it. Straight condiments. Except if you count my fingers. Because I was eating condiments off my fingers. (I HAD ALL THE FRIENDS.) To avoid being a social pariah or some sort of leper or some sort of social pariah leper, […]
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 […]
Curry Coconut Tofu Soup
It’s just another one of those days when a can of anything from a shelf somewhere needs to be made into a bowl of something. Hello, Coconut Milk. I’ve seen you around here before. Maybe everyday for the last month. You come here often/never leave. You spend a lot of time with the Sliced Water […]
