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.
As with my mother and grandmothers before me, I spend some portion of every December preparing an array of sweet treats to share with (and send to) folks I care about. And sure, creating a dozen varieties of sugar-laden cookies and candies over the course of a weekend requires an iron stomach and a superhuman...
These cookies are so good that at least three different countries claim them as their own; although I always knew them as Mexican Wedding Cakes, they’re apparently also known as Russian Tea Cakes and Italian Butter Nuts. But as I’m inclined to say: a rose by any other name….
Peanut butter blossoms are such a cute addition to any cookie tray. And although they’re usually made with chocolate candy centers that contain milk derivatives, they’re really easy to veganize!
With the holidays in full swing, I’m packing in some serious kitchen hours. If I haven’t replied to your e-mail or comment, trust that it’s because every surface in my apartment is coated in a thick layer of powdered sugar, and I’m knee-deep in containers of fudge, swearing profusely at my candy thermometer and desperately...
A coworker of my mother’s gave her a bag of puppy chow as a holiday gift years ago, and my family and I have been hooked ever since.
When it’s cold outside, all I want to do is curl up with a blanket, a book, and a cup of tea. These gingerbread biscotti, from Isa’s VCTOTW, have been a welcome addition to each year’s wintry ritual. Don’t be scared off by the fact that you have to bake them twice; biscotti are really...
Like eating an extravagant breakfast with your guests, but hate dragging your groggy body out of bed at the crack of dawn to make it? This overnight breakfast casserole is for you. It’s particularly awesome when you have friends or family visiting, because you whip it together the evening before and all you have to...
This is hands-down the best pecan pie I’ve had in years, if not of all time. I never liked the wet, eggy, lumpy layer so many pecan pies have, so don’t expect that. This is gooey, chewy and candy-like, packed with delicious sugars and fats.
Baristas of the world, I apologize. Really, I don’t know why I insist on embarrassing myself on the Internet and endangering my chances of future coffee shop employment.
I don’t usually get very personal on this blog. Recipes are great and all, but honestly? I’m not just vegan for all the delicious, fun food. I’m really here for the animals, which is why I spent spring of 2010 interning at the aptly named Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, New York. I think about...
I’ve never been much of a stuffing fan, but I live with someone who loves the stuff, and let me tell you, homemade stuffing blows that bagged, just-add-water-and-microwave crap out of the water. Forget those creepily uniform, tan cubes of bread — this apple herb stuffing contains actual vegetables and comes as close to real,...
