Tofu Bahn Mi

Right now, Elliot is under the couch hiding from fireworks. So despite the pup-fear, this weekend has been really great! I grilled tofu and corn Friday night and ate this at the picnic table. The rest of the weekend was hot dogs, pizza, donuts and cheese plates. All while wearing a crop top! (Yeah summer!) Now, this may seem like a cray amount of food for a weekend, but I mean, it was a 4-day…

Vegan Grilled Veggie Pizza

Yesterday was the 1st day of summer! I celebrated it by giving my picnic table a fresh coat of paint and making this pizza! (And staying in bed until 1 with a headache because of too many grapefruit fizz drinks and summer beers, but whatev.) So I grilled up a bunch of veggies in my fridge, while the dough rose. I ate this while watching Orange is the New Black because well, this season is…

Sweet & Savory Pierogi

When I’m feelin’ down or maybe just in need of edible comfort, I opt for pierogi. Normally I pop by the market on my home, buy a pack of locally made dumplings and drink a beer while they sizzle and tell myself I’ll only eat some of them them and then I eat all of them. But mostly, just know that these can be made at your house, or at your lady friend’s house while…

Chicago Dog + Rosemary Oven Fries

This is more of a method than a recipe. It’s one of those things where baseball season starts and I just crave hot dogs. And when I crave hot dogs I generally crave a Chicago dog. When you give a mouse a cookie, ya know? And so I googled and wikipedia-ed and reminisced about past tasty Chicago dogs I’ve eaten before. And this is what I came up with! So let’s make hot dogs classy! Let’s…

Vegan Roasted Veggie Bowl

In January I went on a little vegan-eating thing for 3 weeks and really loved it! I like how food-rules (self-induced even) turn into more creativity sometimes! I mean, if I don’t give myself any restraints I end up peanut butter cookies passed around at the bar or all the Cadbury mini eggs. But regardless of all that, this is my current favorite meal. It’s ALL veggies and the sauce has my heart. I feel pretty good about…

Just a Vegan Dreamwich

I can’t always differentiate between a low-point and a high-point (of the food variety). Like eating cinnamon rolls before dinner and then before brunch. High or low? Going for a run then eating 8 Thin Mint cookies. Going from a vegan phase to eating a Little Caesar’s pizza in the car? Getting granola all around my desk at work from handfuls? Honestly, I kinda consider these all high-points. Gotta live your life, right? One thing I…

My Favorite Lunch

Ok, so the other day I was asked, “What are you doing to take care of yourself?” And I was all, “Oh, ya know, I wake up a little bit early and make oatmeal for breakfast, coffee in my french press, and prep a salad in a jar for lunch.” In the summer, it made me really happy to get home from work, put a beer in my purse, bring Elliot out and have that…

Vegan Roasted Pepper Cornbread

I’m trying to figure out what to tell you guy first. Like do you care that I cleaned my pantries?! There is no longer ancho chili powder strewn. And the other day I was going to get a solid dinner on my own and the next thing I knew I found myself at my kitchen table with chips, salsa and a dream. Why am I telling you about the weird alone at home chips and…

Falafel Sliders (vegan)

In Memphis my bf and I went to a restaurant called Slider Inn (ahem). And we split a falafel slider with black bean hummus. Basically, what we have here. I thought it was a super-great idea! And I knew I wanted to eat them when I got home. So I made my usual slider bun, the vegan remix, and Minimalist Baker’s falafel, and a thrown-together-no-big-deal black bean hummus. P.S. I’m doing this casual vegan January…

Savory Parfaits with Cheddar Bunnies

If I bring my lunch to work, I like it in a jar. Preferably layered real cute-like. Good-lookin stacked salads make for a fun desk lunch. Way more fun than handfuls of granola and granola bars and weird snacks from the basement store that also sells enchiladas with fries on the side. (I ain’t mad at that.) My favorite chicken salad is creamy with Greek yogurt and whipped goat cheese. No mayo in sight. That…
