Tofu Omelets and Sagey Sausages

Welcome to the folks who are stopping by from Vegan MoFo! This morning, I felt like it was high time to do some experimentation and break out the Vegan Brunch cookbook. I hadn’t tried the Tofu Omelets recipe yet, and I did. They were awesome! I had to do a little fiddling with the recipe [...]

Cheesy Spinach Pasta Bake

I had a bunch of leftover “cheese” sauce from my improv creation of grilled cheese sandwiches earlier this week. I decided that rather than making plain ol’ mac and cheese, I should be a little more creative. The baby needs calcium, after all, so I should add some more nutrition… um, like spinach. Hence, you [...]

Tofu “Egg” Gravy

One of my pregnancy cravings was for a hearty, breakfast-y tofu “egg” gravy. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about a tofu gravy that I ate when I was in high school. (And that one, sad to say, was actually not very delicious. Makes ya wonder why ya wake up craving [...]

BBQ “Chicken”

Here’s an old favorite that has been modified over time by my family. I love cooking it in the slow cooker. I can basically put everything in the slow cooker and forget it for a few hours and have a meal ready! Perfect. BBQ “Chicken” 1 large onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 28-oz [...]

Vegan pregnancy

Welcome to those who might be stopping by from Vegan MoFo! I’m blogging this month about all sorts of vegan stuff. Yeah, I do plan on sharing some recipes, but today it’s going to be a little more information-based, about what I’ve been doing during my vegan pregnancy. I’ve pretty much stuck to my vegan [...]

I’m back!

I have taken a way-too-long break from blogging, but I am back, because I decided to participate in Vegan MoFo for the first time ever this month! I have a really good excuse for being gone, too. It has to do with morning and evening sickness, lack of energy, aversion to food in general, a sudden [...]

Modest clothing sale alert!

I’m still here! I’ve been working on a little project that has been taking time and energy, but I hope to be back soon with quite a few updates. For today, if you’re looking for modest, affordable clothing, head over to Shade Clothing right away. Quite by chance, I discovered today that they are liquidating [...]

Vegetarian menu for week of May 16

Last week I did a few different things than was originally on my menu. For instance, I made vegetarian jambalaya, which turned out really good, and a big pot of cream of vegetable soup, which was also delicious. Here’s what’s planned for this week. Breakfast Cereal (x2), Toasted Coconut and Mango muffins from Vegan Brunch [...]

Menu for week of May 9

Last week had some highlights and lowlights. Let’s start off with the good. I made up some fajita enchiladas last week for Cinco de Mayo. DH really enjoyed them! And I even made the tortillas myself too. I was pleased all in all with the results. And now, the bad. I hadn’t purchased sweet potatoes [...]

Vegetarian Fajita Enchiladas

Here’s your bonus post for Cinco de Mayo! This time, I decided to mix two great dishes into one… fajitas, and enchiladas. I’m pleased with the way they turned out, and I can guarantee that I’ll be making this recipe again. My hubby (who, as you may remember, doesn’t exactly love Mexican food) thought these [...]
