cupcake success story
Last night M and I decided to make the cappuccino cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, using the espresso cream cheese frosting as the filling and the icing. After my last cupcake catastrophe, I had a good feeling that these would restore my cupcake confidence, and I was right.
They were gooey and perfect, [...]

morning-after pancake
Morning after what? The midnight showing of the Sex and the City movie opening, that’s what. Those girls always make me want to indulge and treat myself.
I made this pancake super oaty and hearty with lots of flax, and I had my sweets on the side. Stylish and sassy, eh?

cranberry cookie sandwiches
I had all those frosting leftovers from yesterday’s cupcake disaster, so I decided to try some cookies. Since the frosting had cranberries in it, I went for cranberry rather than the old chocolate chip standby. And, yes, these are the strawberry-flavored cranberries.
I’m didn’t measure much, but I know I used roughly 2 parts flower to [...]

thai noodles, sans noodles
I was going to make thai noodles, but I just had so many appealing veggies that I decided to nix the noodles and focus on the good stuff.
I very loosely followed a recipe from the Candle Cafe’s cookbook, but when I say loosely I mean pretty much not at all. I had completely different veggies [...]

cupcake mistakes.
Not the best cupcakes in the world. They were definitely gobbled up quickly, but that was due more to the fact that there was a cross-country runner in the house than their taste. I won’t even list the ingredients because I was just experimenting, but I will say they were far too wheaty for cupcakes [...]

seitan nuggets
This was my first time making seitan. I’m a big fan of it, though, and my favorite place to get a really good seitan dish is Red Bamboo in Manhattan. Oh my gosh. So good. But enough about people who are seitan-making pros and onto my first attempt.
I pretty much followed the recipe on the [...]

leftovers lunch
I have been making too much food. Every time I make something, I always forget that I really need to halve recipes or I’m going to be left with a fridge full of tupperware. So today’s lunch is a veggie burger from yesterday with a little salad (spinach, wheatberries, radishes, strawberries) and a dressing of [...]

veggie burgers!
So these were really thrown together. I wasn’t really finding a recipe I wanted to use or had the ingredients for, so I decided to improvise. Mostly I used the same things I put in my bean salad, as those were the things I had lying around. I did not measure any of the following [...]

the bean salad i’ve been craving
Yesterday I was in the mood for thai, but I woke up this morning with a hankering for a good bean salad. So off to 320 I went.
320 is one of my favorite things about Rockford. They’ve got amazing straight-from-the-farm produce for literally cents. Seriously, every veggie I wanted was like 49 cents, 39 cents, [...]
