Holiday Cranberry Salad

Well, I’ll admit I have been kind of lax on the posting this week for Vegan MoFo, but here is a great recipe that I’ll be doing next week for Thanksgiving. We really like having this salad instead of your average cranberry sauce. It’s sweetened with apple juice, so it doesn’t have refined sugars, either. [...]

Let’s talk cheese and mayo.

A couple of my friends have requested that I post some recipes for cheese sauce and mayo, respectively. I’m posting a great cheese sauce recipe that I have used often over the years, as well as a soy mayonnaise recipe. I can’t readily obtain Vegenaise here, and the vegan mayo that they do sell is, [...]

Gourmet Rice Casserole

This is the type of recipe that is perfect for cleaning up a couple of leftover cups of rice in your fridge. I got the basic idea for this recipe from my grandma’s cookbook, 375 Meatless Recipes. While this is a vegetarian cookbook, it does have non-vegan recipes, and this basic recipe wasn’t necessarily vegan, [...]

Potato Salad Ingredients: Potatoes Cucumbers — peeled, and sliced in the food processor (so they are extremely fine slices) Grated carrots Chopped olives Dried minced onion a few dollops of [...]

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 [...]

BBQ “Chicken”

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 [...]

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 [...]

Make Your Own Biscuit Mix

Continuing our series on easy, healthy, frugal convenience food mixes, today we’re going to talk about biscuits. You may or may not have a good use for biscuits. At our home, we enjoy biscuits and gravy for breakfast. That’s how we eat biscuits most frequently. Occasionally, I make a pot pie and put biscuits as [...]
