C'est La Vegan

Continuing with my Oscar party dishes, I’ll be making these S’more Bars for the film Amour.  Unlike the Les Mis bread, we’re going full on title pun with this one.  Which means they should probably be S’mour bars for the sake of the party. These are way too easy to make for being as good [...]

I’ve been meaning to post about this bread for a long time, but I hadn’t actually made it in over a year.  Back when I was still doing Moveable Feast dinners with Alix (of the fantastic Cute + Delicious blog), she sent this recipe to me for our Spanish feast. I came back to this [...]

Our friends Shawn and Alix hosted their Fourth Annual Halloween Horror Movie Marathon over the weekend, and I made these spooky Witches’ Finger cookies to bring along.  We were both pretty beat (Ryan spent the entire day painting the nursery, and I’m just generally beat these days), but we were able to stay for one [...]

As promised, here’s the new dip I made for Ryan’s birthday get-together this past weekend.  It was my first time making the classic bread bowl spinach dip.  To be honest, I used to not really like this kind of dip at all.  After tasting this one though, I have to change my tune.  I’ll definitely [...]

Ryan’s birthday was Friday, so we had a few friends over on Saturday to celebrate.  I’d been working on a large cupcake order for a couple days, so after finishing that and helping to clean up our place, I didn’t have a lot of energy left to make food. I did end up making one [...]

Last weekend we had the pleasure of hanging out with our friends, Shannon & Mike, and their adorable little girl, Asha.  I’d come across a recipe for Strawberry Basil Margaritas that sounded amazing, and I thought it’d be a tasty addition to the yummy grilled vegetables and salad that Shannon and Mike were making. We [...]

I couldn’t get eggs and asparagus out of my head when I was thinking about what to make for Easter this year, so I decided to bring both together in these tasty little Easter-inspired Tofu Egg Salad Crescent Cups. What really sets these apart is an ingredient that I learned about from vegan goddess Isa [...]

  UPDATE: I want to thank everyone who came out for the Cupcakes & Beer party on Saturday!  You guys were so awesome, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support.  It was such a fun night, even with all the drama that went down outside…  Looks like Hollywood’s craziness is moving [...]

I make this chili all the time, but I realized that I’ve never posted about it.  With the Super Bowl just days away, now seemed like a perfect time!  Chili is a classic football favorite that will definitely keep you warm as you root for your team on Sunday. This recipe originally comes from PETA, [...]

Now that we’ve covered dips and snacks, let’s get into some more substantial eats. When you’re cooking for a crowd, you can’t go wrong with a casserole, and this Mexican-Style Casserole is really tasty.  It’s like a cross between a burrito and lasagna, and it’ll serve a lot of people without a lot of work, [...]

Snacks!  They’re not quite dips and they’re not quite a meal (though I could happily make a meal out of them).  Here are some tasty bites that would be right at home on Sunday Bowl Sunday. We have to start with Nachos, of course!  You can make these with whatever fixin’s you like, and they’re [...]

As I’ve said before, I’m not that big of a football fan, but I sure do love football food!  This week I want to feature some yummy eats that would be perfect to serve on Super Bowl Sunday.  Let’s start with the dips! First up is Buffalo “Chicken” Dip.  This creamy and spicy dip is [...]

I’m still working my way through showing you guys everything I served at our Bears’ Brunch, even though we’re long past Bears talk since they blew the game last weekend.  My nephew is a Steelers fan (we’re not sure where that came from), so we’ll all be rooting for them in the Super Bowl. I’ll [...]
