Vegan Black Bean, Sweet Potato & Green Chili Enchiladas

Yesterday I was craving enchiladas in a real way. But, it’s like a million percent humidity and 90 million degrees here. Luckily I have a window unit AC and frozen cookies to keep my life/hair together. So in order to keep this craving from getting outta control and causing me to be both hot and hungry and possibly eating a corn dog of the questionable variety at a street fair, I decided to grill these.…

Vegan Brownies of Your Dreams

A few years ago a girl told me about black bean brownies and I thought it sounded real cray. Like how can that be a thing?! But during my lil vegan phase after New Orleans I gave these a go. I loved them so much that I didn’t even share them! Instead I put them in the freezer and ate them at my leisure for days. These will help you believe in magic and dreams because…

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…

Strawberry Hibiscus Pancakes (vegan)

I think hibiscus tastes like crunch berries. And I recently found some hibiscus powder! I’ve been wanting to add it to everything! Hibiscuits and pancakes and scones and cookies. So there will probably more purple food coming up. That’s all. So let’s eat magic pancakes, then go to the farmers market, and then make snow cones. SaturYAY! Strawberry Hibiscus Pancakes Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker Ingredients: 1 flax egg (1 T ground flax seeds + 2 T…

Vegan Zucchini Snack Cake (revisited)

I made this snack cake in 2010! When I first moved into the flat I live in now. Life is completely different now (hell yes), but this cake (and Elliotto) have stayed awesome. SO! Since I made this cake before, I’ve dealt with a broken fridge, mini ant families x 3, flooding through my windows, flooding in the basement, quit one job, got another one, cut my hair, fell off my bike, broke probably like…

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

I made these a couple weeks ago. Since then, I’ve felt good, bad, tired, awake, tipsy, distracted, worried, fine, super happy, super anxious, lucky, weird, cold, hot, fast and slow. I invested in high-waisted pants because what if I died tomorrow?! I’d want to die in cute pants. I put some nail business on my credit card, ate sliders like cookies, drank pink wine, bonded with my mom, bought a “werk it” bracelet, slept to…

Vegan Sprankle Blondies

I bet these blondies will make up for the time you used up the rest of your neighbor’s laundry soap, and when you wrote “donuts” instead of “donate” on the bring-your-own-bag raffle slip at Trader Joe’s, or when you picked napping over cleaning and drinking beers instead of water or when you didn’t do the dishes for 4 days. And by you, I mean me, and by blondies I mean one big cookie. So whip these…

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…
