This is the spread I put out when we hosted our family of friends for UFC watching last weekend. We trade off who hosts, and when it’s their turn they make the BEST tacos. We would probably riot if they made something else. I usually recruit my son to make bean dip, and I make something to go with it. This time was different.
These are the pumpkin muffins that please everyone. They’re based on the recipe in Vegan With a Vengeance with a few tweaks of my own. The kids love it when I add chocolate chips, like I did here. I almost always make a double batch, like I did on Sunday morning. If I don’t make a double batch, they don’t last through breakfast. Ah, the joys of feeding tweens and teens! I make these often when my daughter’s friend comes for a sleepover. She’s the pickiest girl in the world. But, she LOVES these.

This is one of my husband’s specialties we call “tofu and chili beans”. My husband usually makes it after he and the kids have had a good hard workout at Brazilian jiu jitsu.
Last Wednesday night I was in the mood for something quick. There was just enough leftover chowder for everyone to have a little.

I had an apple with mine, because we have the most amazing organic apples right now. From a guy at the Farmer’s Market I call “The Apple Guy”. The rest of the produce seen on this plate is organic as well, and from my other favorite produce stand, Persephone. Continue reading
Ahhh, Skittles. Back in the early days of my veganism, I used to get imported vegan Skittles from Israel. Now, they make them without gelatin (OR gluten) here in the states! I picked these up along with some Special Import Pepsi (also known as the one with real sugar that is made in Mexico), a Chick-o-Stick, and some potato chips for office snacking. I loves my junk! Below the jump, what I did to make amends for my crazy snacking. Continue reading
We’ve been celebrating Taco Monday in our house for a couple of years now. Some weeks we forget, and some weeks we make bean dip instead of tacos, but all in all we love us a good refried bean delivery system. Continue reading
Luckily, we’re always vegan and we always eat. And, being vegan eaters, we almost always take pictures of our food. We’re special like that. The Vegan Month of Food is made for people like us. Behind the jump, some of the food we’ve been eating at the start of Vegan MoFo! Continue reading
