Homemade Applesauce
Applesauce is one of the staples of my freezer. I always have some on hand to use as a binder/egg replacer in bars and cookies, make applesauce muffins, and spoon over pierogies and latkes. Apple season is finally upon us, so I figured I’d walk you through my steps for processing and preserving this versatile...
Vegan Caramel Peanut Popcorn (Cracker Jack)
I’m always blown away by the prices people are willing to pay for flavored popcorn. Seriously, popcorn is so easy to make, and it’s super cheap to boot! So when I found out that a friend was a big fan of Cracker Jack, I set out to make some comparable caramel peanut popcorn.
Hudson Valley Granola
The story of this granola goes back many moons to when I lived in the tiny village of Tivoli, New York. By the time I moved to Friendship Street, I’d long known Tivoli’s Mikee as the talented baker who dropped off several loaves of inexplicably wonderful fresh bread at my co-op every Sunday morning. But...
Vegan Jalapeño Poppers
I might not love televised sports, but I do love hot peppers. So when everyone else in the U.S. is chowing down on fried foods next weekend, don’t despair! Vegan jalapeño poppers are totally within reach.
Vegan Little Wieners
Also known as little smokies or cocktail wieners, little wieners are basically miniature hot dogs, usually served in some sort of barbecue sauce, and intended to be eaten with toothpicks. (Because what’s more American than protein on a stick?)
Cinnamon Kettle Corn
The first time I ate cinnamon kettle corn was about a year ago, when Curmudgeon, super sweet folks in Boston who play super sweet powerviolence, played a show in Waterbury. They went for a walk and returned with snacks to share, which included a bag of flavored popcorn. Someone is probably going to be...
Vegan Chocolate Pudding
Oh, the minutes I wasted trying to think up a clever way to tell you about this recipe for chocolate pudding. But y’know, if I really need to say anything more than “chocolate” and “pudding,” maybe this just ain’t for you.
Pickled Okra
As I grew up in the northeastern U.S., I tried okra for the first time only five years ago at an Indian restaurant in LA – and I’ve been hooked on these crunchy pods ever since. I have no tolerance for people who whine about okra’s innards being slimy — that’s a feature, not a...
Peanut Butter Crispy Treats
It’s easy and fast to whip up a batch of these delicious peanut butter crispy treats, making them perfect for potlucks, bake sales, and all-hours-of-the-day snacking. I mean, cereal’s fortified, right?
Cappuccino Chocolate Chip Muffins
I’m a quick bread aficionado. I really would live on muffins if they provided enough vitamins and minerals to keep my brain functioning well enough to allow me to make more muffins. So here’s one of my favorite quick bread recipes: cappuccino chocolate chip muffins.
Jalapeño Hummus
Owning a pressure cooker has improved my life in so many ways, not the least of which is that keeping a bottomless container of jalapeño hummus in my fridge is easy peasy. Just set me up with a pile of carrot sticks and we’re in business.
Vegan Zucchini Bread
A friend of mine from Books Through Bars tipped me off to this delicious recipe back in 2008. Actually, let me rephrase: she taunted me with slice after slice of this zucchini bread on multiple occasions until I broke down and begged for the recipe.
