Vegan Rosemary Chick’n With Roasted Potatoes

March 31, 2011

I had my wisdom teeth drilled out on Monday and it’s been a much slower recovery than I was expecting. I still look like a greedy chipmunk, and I’m not sure if I have dry sockets, but the pain gets pretty intense. Plus, my stomach didn’t much agree with the medications I was given, so…

Spring Vegan

March 22, 2011

I admit it. I’ve been stealing a little more time with the family now that the sun is shining and it’s warm enough to enjoy our bikes! We’ve been teaching Little Man how to ride his new tricycle, and while he’s pretty much there, he wants to get off the trike and run because he…

Our Veggie Kitchen Vegan Chickpea Alfredo

March 16, 2011

What a beautiful day! It was so lovely, we got out our bikes and went for a ride! It’s so nice to get back outside. When we got home from riding, the husband requested black bean burgers, so I got to making my go-to black bean burgers with the recipe from Veganomicon. I’d forgotten how…

Vegan Coconut Curry in a Hurry

March 15, 2011

The last few times I’ve needed to get a meal on the table in a hurry, this has been the recipe I’ve made. I love that it’s pretty much a throw-it-all-in-the-pan-and-presto meal, but is still super delicious and fairly healthy. A big nod goes to Vegan Salt for introducing me to coconut curry. Hers was…

Bee-Free Vegan Honee Giveaway

March 14, 2011

**Giveaway Closed** Congratulations to lucky comment #8, Jameson! While I can’t say I miss honey, I do have a few fond childhood memories of the sticky sweet stuff. There were the many Sunday mornings my grandpa mixed a little peanut butter and honey in a teacup and let me eat it with a spoon for…

Vegan Tempeh Strips in Peanut Sauce

March 10, 2011

First, I want to say thank you so much for all your sweet comments on yesterday’s post! I get a lot of questions from new (or newish) vegans who feel like they’re torn between their beliefs and showing their guests a good time with amazing (or fun in the case of a toddler party) food….

A Vegan Birthday Party For A Little Dr. Seuss Lover

March 9, 2011

I don’t know about you, but I love planning birthday parties! Okay, I love planning the menu for any event, but when it comes to birthday parties, especially for kids, I love doing the whole thing. When Little Man chose a Cat in the Hat themed party, I got to work on the details. It…

A Vegan Birthday at Chicago Diner

March 8, 2011

I’m sitting here waiting for the new episode of Cupcake Wars with C’est La Vegan and Sticky Fingers to begin, so I may be a little distracted, but I wanted to start sharing my photos from he Little Man’s birthday weekend. On Friday, his actual birthday, we took him to Chicago Diner for lunch. It’s…

Lessons From A Vegan Newbie in the Kitchen

March 7, 2011

As I sort through photos and clean up the 3-year-old-birthday-party aftermath, I’m thrilled to have a guest post by the fabulous JL from JL Goes Vegan to share with you. Thank you so much, JL! Enjoy JL’s delicious post, everyone! Lessons From A Vegan Newbie in the Kitchen I started eating vegan a year ago….

Happy 3rd Birthday, Little Man!

March 4, 2011

Please excuse my lack of posts this week, but I’ve been so busy getting ready for our son’s Cat in the Hat birthday party this weekend (as well as nursing a bad sore throat and migraines, but that’s another story)! I can’t believe my little man is turning 3 already; it seems like no time…
