Mexican-inspired Baked Pasta

Ingredients: cooked whole wheat rotini, salsa, red beans, frozen corn, and some orange cheez sauce (tofu, roasted red pepper, nutritional yeast, tahini, garlic powder, salt), bread crumbs. I mixed everything up and baked at 400 for 20 minutes- just to crisp up the top a bit.

Chocolate Cream Pie

Mmm. This is 'Peanut Butter Fudge Pie' from the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook - but I used almond butter instead of peanut butter because that's what I had.
I used a store-bought graham cracker crust, I admit it.

Two pizzas! both incredible!

Pizza 1: homemade spelt crust, a softer version of Crock Cheez (sharp cheddar style spread) from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, walnuts, the Seared Portabello Mushrooms and Simple Swiss Chard recipes from Eat, Drink and be Vegan.


Pizza 2: homemade white flour crust (I was feeling wild and crazy), sliced tomatoes, sliced roasted red pepper from a jar, sliced black olives, Soy Curls (re-hydrated in a bacon-style marinade: water, tamari, liquid hickory smoke), Follow Your Heart soycheese.

PS- Me and my guy are all ready for the Vegetarian Food Fair in Toronto on the first weekend in Sept! We're all booked for transportation and lodging. Anyone else going?

"Chicken" Ceasar Salad

A delicious vegan fake-chicken ceasar salad for lunch! Consists of: salad mix, dressing from the Uncheese Cookbook, 'It's All Good' brand fake chicken, vegan parmesan (not homemade), freshly ground pepper.

Burger and Fries Night!

Tonight was sweet potato oven fries with a tempeh burger. One of our* favourite meals!
*all meals featured are eaten by me and my boyfriend, mr. www.iheartmusic.net

I cut the block of tempeh (like tofu but more fun) in half, and then lengthwise through the side, so that it was two thinner pieces. I marinated the pieces a bit in some tamari, corriander and garlic powder, and then I fried it with some olive oil.

On the burger: Veganaise (I bought this for the first time!), pickle, tomato, Dijon mustard, and colby block cheese from The Uncheese Cookbook.

I really like these new thin burger buns from Loblaws!

Chickpea Crepes with Roasted Purple Potatoes and Nacho Sauce

Woo, this wasn't much work but boy does it look classy!

The crepe is whole wheat flour and chickpea flour, and it is basically the Eggless Omelet recipe from Vegan Vittles.
Inside are purple potatoes chopped and roasted with lots of garlic.
The sauce is 'nacho cheez sauce' from, yes, the Uncheese Cookbook. It has chickpea flour in it, too. Lots of protein!

Unprocessed Cheez Sauce

I LOVE this sauce from the Uncheese Cookbook. It is make with onions, carrots, and potato! It is sort of like baby food. Mmm!

Baked Macaroni and Cheez

This is the "Baked Macaroni and Cheez" recipe from The Uncheese Cookbook. I added breadcrumbs on top because I had some, and instead of blending all of the red pepper I left some chunks. This is a cashew-based "cheese" sauce. Yum!
