Vegan Revel Bars
This next recipe is a favorite passed down from my mother’s mother. They’ve always been referred to in my family as “Revel Bars,” though a few years ago I found eerily similar recipe in Joy of Cooking called “Chocolate Oat Bars.” In any case, a quick google shows that this name (and basic recipe) is...
Matzo Ball Soup
For someone raised Gentile, I have always had an inexplicable love of matzo. It probably has something to do with never having been forced to eat the stuff for days on end, but whatever: I’m into it. You know what else I’m into? This matzo ball soup.
Vegan Sweet Noodle Kugel
Do you know what sweet noodle kugel is? As my Midwestern roots filled my childhood with dozens upon dozens of weird, dairy-laden foods that should totally not even exist, the weirdest thing about this dish is that I had never heard of kugel until two years ago. Loaded with cream cheese, sour cream, butter and...
Vegan Cadbury Creme Eggs
You might wonder why a vegan atheist is reverse engineering Cadbury Creme Eggs, but look: my philosophy is that there’s (just about) never a reason not to party, okay?*
Vegan Reuben with Corned Beef Seitan
Just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day, this recipe for corned beef seitan should please even the biggest weirdo corned beef purist. What you do with this knowledge is up to you, but I highly suggest getting a bunch of friends together and celebrating with a tray of vegan reubens.
Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
I like to savor my weekends. I try to fill them beginning-to-end with all the things I love to do when I have two whole days to myself. I am loathe to waste a single minute in bed that I could’ve spent going for a run or a long bike ride, practicing guitar, or reading...
Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies
While I love a straight forward chocolate chip cookie, I find myself pairing chocolate with warm spices this time of year. These molasses chocolate chip cookies are soft, spicy, and just a touch chewy.
Make Your Own Vegetable Stock
Until fairly recently, I didn’t believe in vegetable stock. I’d tried a friend’s ultra-pungent homemade broth years ago, and let’s just say the experience didn’t exactly inspire me to pursue it in my own kitchen. Plus, I’m cheap, and I was never sold on the idea of buying a box of what is essentially flavored...
Toasted Coconut Chocolate Mousse
When I lived in Philadelphia I was fortunate enough to go to fancypants vegan restaurant Horizons* on more than one occasion, and the food totally blew my mind each time. This recipe for toasted coconut chocolate mousse comes from Horizons: New Vegan Cuisine, and it is absurdly delicious.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Linzer Heart Cookies
Valentine’s Day is next week, and whether you’re of the cheesy holiday-loving persuasion or the my heart bleeds the darkest blood sort, I’ve got something for you: peanut butter and jelly linzer hearts! This grown-up twist on the classic pairing of PB&J is perfect for those of you who are kids at heart… and for...
Simple Lentil Soup
Maybe lentil soup is a mainstay of vegetarian cooking in part because it’s so easy, so healthy, and so delicious all at once. It’s delightfully mellow, which makes it a good dish to serve kids and picky adults, and when you’re sick, it just sounds like the most lovely, comforting thing ever.
Potato Skins
You wouldn’t exactly call me a football fan. My football-related credentials can be boiled down to two things: at a certain point in college I really enjoyed avoiding writing papers by playing 10-Yard Fight, and at one point in my life, I listened to that embarrassingly homonymous band. I really have nothing bad to say about...
