2010 is moving pretty fast. With January tucked under its belt and vibrant floral dresses already in the shop windows, soon it’ll be time for Spring. Spring which seems an impossibility to my numb toes. Spring, the short stop before Summer which finds Fall too soon. And then ’11. But Read more…

With a generous contribution of ingredient mula from J. “Whoa Whoa Whoa” Roth and a pint of midnight oil, I whipped up 2 batches of vegan cupcakes (VCTOTW‘s basic vanilla with chocolate ganache and basic chocolate with buttercream) for Vegan Drinks‘ Vegan Bake Sale for Haiti. Said cupcakes were made Read more…

Back at 3 Brothers again. I plan to take full advantage of this place’s proximity to me. There is so much to try too. This time, we got a little fancy-pants and ordered the eggplant rollatini appetizer, which was as huge as a stand alone meal. What I love about Read more…

The quest for pantry turnover and a fresh beginning of 2010 continues! Making my class a batch of mini-cupcakes for their celebratory pizza party used up an old bag of confectionary sugar, right in time for my upcoming sugar detox, and a container of hydrongenated waxy sprinkles I inherited from my Read more…

Mr. and Mrs. Claus brought me a breadmaker this year and I am determined to never buy a loaf of bread again. I am pretty good with “never” doing things ever again when I am feel it necessary. Whether it be my strong will or my inherited stubbornness, when I’m Read more…

I had to be very selective about who received a holiday cookie care package this year. Next year, when I am through studying to be a master of the universe, you’ll all get them. The chocolate chip cookie is a must in any cookie assortment. Using Vegan Cookies Invade Your Read more…

Having a big, fat still-healthy pumpkin leftover from October, I decided against purchasing the easy can of pumpkin puree for my chocolate pumpkin pie for my class’s holiday breakfast. No, no no, I would process the big gourd myself! Sure, I have a whole day to kill. Sure, I love Read more…

I am thankful to survive, and thrive, through the love and support of friends. Thanksgiving plans changed drastically at the last minute due to reasons a trained psychologist will need to help me understand. Luckily, I was able to find a place to feast. Here are the highlights: CP‘s almond Read more…

I’ve long wanted to visit Mexico to celebrate Dia de los Muertos. And this year I am! I will be heading to Guadalajara and staying with friends before heading to Guanajuato to take part in the sacred festival of the departed. Though I am only slightly disappointed that we won’t Read more…

/ I often feel I was born in the wrong era. Though I have taken to the 00’s I suppose, I pine for old time aesthetics. I love the smack of a type writer, tintype photography, cloche hats, Ada Jones. From the satisfying scratch of a phonograph, to the grainy Read more…

I don’t often bake whole cakes. My oven is situated right smack dab in the middle of the dramatic slope of my kitchen floor and my cakes come out of the oven slanted and enchanted, taking a heavy blow to presentation. But in light of fellow blogstress and dear friend Read more…

Me and my vegan Twinkies… and stained spouse-sweeper, Confederate-inspired belt buckle and undersized jeans. Plenty of cheap beer was a necessity. Here is an extra large “Danish Lager Beer” Southern fried tofu from FoodSparrow with a veganaise aioli. CandyPenny chomping on my Red Lobster bun Tator tots and smart dog Read more…

Tapping into my inner low-brow for a White Trash Dinner extravaganza, I kicked up the zing on some vegan Twinkies by piping them with Southern Comfort-infused buttercream! My oh my, how I love me a themed dinner party. With friends busting out the denim cut-offs and mesh hats, crafting appropriate Read more…

Had I not wanted to allow for internet searchers to easily find these vegan Red Lobster cheese and garlic biscuits, I would have called these my “Holy Sh*t Motherscratcher Ever-Lovin’ Biscuits”… or some such name that adequately expresses my great excitement about them. Many, like me, have fond memories of Read more…

After a glorious gorgeous day at sea on the soft-sanded and low-key Brighton Beach, Coney Island’s quiet cousin, my new eclair “canoe” baking pan was finally utilized by way of cheddar and chive corn dogs. Sun-tired and hungry, CP and I pulled these dogs together using the Blue Ribbon corn Read more…

It had to be done. Veganizing cannoli. I had a recipe from The Vegetarian Site in my task box since January. In light of my sister, a long-time cannoli queen, and my Pop’s July birthdays, I would finally give it a go. After great success in veganizing Rainbow cookies for Read more…

In honor of America and independence, more Vegan Brunch recipes! Creamy avocado potato salad. This dish gets ugly quickly under the blazing July sun, helping others remain weirded by vegan eats. I say use the potato salad recipe in Vcon for “mixed” parties. Beer-battered tofu. A simple and delicious recipe Read more…

Yes, we have tons of bananas! And this morning was devoted to putting them to use before the pesky fruit flies started making love to them. And what better an opportunity to get to know Isa’s Vegan Bunch cookbook? So these fermenting ripe ovaries of the Musaceae will be mashed Read more…

What better way to say thanks, dad than a lemon layer cake with a strawberry and cream center and lemony-sweet icing? That’s right, there is no better way! Adapted from this recipe, my cake was a soft, ultra-moist and delicate sponge of sweetness. Far too much sugar for my tastebuds, Read more…

It has been on my list of things to do for quite some time: veganize the ever-loved rainbow cookie! After plans for a weekend in Pittsburgh fell flat and the rain continued to persist in New York City or the umpteenth day, a Freaks and Geeks marathon would be complemented Read more…

Updated in 2020: Recipe posted below. 👼 Plain and simple: There is no successful recipe for Vegan Angel Food Cake posted on the internet. It may not even exist at all. I, like many others, have thoroughly turned over every stone with no luck. In fact, Hannah, of My Sweet Read more…

1.) Lust Lust (Latin, Cupidita), or lechery, is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Dante’s criterion was excessive love of others, which therefore rendered love and devotion to God as secondary. Mega-D.I.L.F.

I used to work a few blocks away from ‘Snice, Manhattan’s awesome veg sandwich shop, and have frequented it many times. Yet through all the work lunches and meet-ups, I have stayed monogamous to their Vegan Panini. It is just perfect: a warm, toasted, roof-of-the-mouth-scraping flatbread smeared with green pesto Read more…
