Cashew Cheez and Spinach Ravioli
I had another go at making raviolis and I was much happier with the turn out this time. I added a lot more flour when I kneaded the dough and when put it through the machine which I think is what did the trick. The sauce was just a simple tomato sauce that I used from left over canned tomatoes. I liked the filling but it didn’t get as fluffly as I would have liked. Using tofu for ricotta...

Soyrizo Potato Tacos & Empanadas Filling
Last week I met up with my co-workers to have a Mexican inspired dinner. Naturally I needed to bring a vegan dish so i went for Empanadas. They turned out great and I had a lot of filling left over so the huz and I had tacos soon after.
I love potatoes in tacos and burritos and I also love soyrizo. The flavor is great and there’s very little seasoning you need to go on your own.

Carrot Cake meets German Chocolate
There was a small gathering at our house this weekend in celebration of our beautiful housemate’s birth. It was fun to hang out and meet new people and eat FOOD! The huz and I made some dips and I made these cupcakes. The cake is a simple carrot cake. It was really moist and dense. Jer had been juicing a lot of carrots so we had a lot of carrot pulp left over which was perfect for carrot...
V is for Vegan-tine!
Hello and Happy Valentine’s day!
My most sincere apologies for leaving you recipe-less for so long.
But I’m back and I’m here to offer you the BEST vegan sugar cookie recipe EVER!
I’ve had this recipe since my first vegan Christmas. I found it on johnandkristie.com and I’ve never look for another recipe since. I’ve adjusted this one slightly but the...
Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding
My huz has been obsessed with the Tartine Bread book.
He has been making a lot of bread lately. A lot of bread. We’ve made croutons and stuffing and sandwiches and still are left with mo bread. Last night I decided to make bread pudding.
I have a couple different recipes but I based mine off of Veganomicon. This recipe uses maple syrup instead of sugar which makes me think it’s...
Miso Wonton Soup
The huz has been sick for a while now. In fact, our whole house has been sick for a while.
After work last night, we went to the store and I came across some Miso paste that’s made here in Portland. I immediately knew I wanted to make miso soup and i grabbed some wonton wrappers to beef up the meal (so to speak ;) ).
Miso has a ton of health properties. It contains vitamin B and omega 3...
Fwench Toast
This morning my huz made french toast with his homemade bread.
He used toasted walnut oil, almond milk and flour for the base. He added a little brown sugar and vanilla extract and MMMM! So tasty.
We even splurged on some strawberries.
No, they are not in season and no, they were not grown in Oregon…but they were surprisingly delicious.
It’s meals like this that make me so...
