Breakfast win: “Just Egg” & avocado sandwich
I’ve blogged about breakfast before because of all the vegan meals that seem to stump people, breakfast takes top spot. I mean we all know about oatmeal and toast and that sort of thing, but what about omelettes and breakfast sandwiches? Read on, my friend, read on. If you’re not familiar with Just Egg, then…

Vegan comfort food: the sweet potato fries edition
I will not presume that you need comfort food as much as I need comfort food this week. But if you do, I’m here to help. I haven’t been feeling especially picky with what I reach for as comfort this week. Anything with carbs will do. So far that has included a fair bit of…

What’s for lunch? A delicious chickpea salad sandwich
When I first stopped eating animal products I was at a loss about what I could put between bread that was vegan (other than PB and jam). I used to love tuna salad sandwiches and they were among the things I missed (most of us end up missing something). But since becoming vegan, I have…

Birthday (and other) cake!
I turned 60 this week. And it strikes me as a great opportunity to write about how becoming vegan back in 2011 didn’t require me to miss a single beat in the birthday cake department. This surprises a lot of people, who are under the misconception that there is no good baking without eggs, butter,…

Protein, even for dessert!
If you had to design a Vegan Bingo card, a great candidate entry would be “But where do you get your protein?” I don’t know anyone who has been vegan for any length of time who hasn’t been asked this question. And then there are the so-called chefs, such as the chef that catered an…

Fun food for Fun Friday
Maybe I’m the only one who has noticed that my two-posts-a-week schedule has faltered of late. I’m trying to ease back up to speed, and I’d really like to get back on track with Fun Fridays. When I first started blogging, my promise was that Tuesdays would be for thinking things through and Fridays would…

Chocolate chip cookies
For the long weekend I meant to post about cookies. And then I didn’t manage to do it because, well, it was a long weekend and I was traveling with friends! So here it is. Late but here. I made chocolate chip cookies for a friend recently and held a few back for myself. I…

Veggies for breakfast? Try a veggie pancake
Yesterday I saw a Time magazine article that recommended veggies for breakfast. I don’t normally love stories of the “you should eat this” variety, but this one got me thinking because in general, savoury breakfast is not typical for me since becoming vegan. I used to really like eggs and potatoes back in the day.…

How about carrot cake with cream cheese icing this weekend?
Last weekend and the week before I made the one-bowl vegan carrot cake with cream cheese icing from Nora Cooks. The first time I made it was for a big crowd. I made it as a 13×9 inch rectangular cake and cut it into 36 small pieces. I got one. And then it was gone.…

Veganizing family favourites: South African pickled f*sh gets a cruelty-free update
I’m home at my parents’ place for the Easter weekend. While it’s not a vegan household, my mum and dad have both gone a long way to make it vegan friendly. And so when I was chatting with them last week, my mother asked if I had ever given any thought to vegan possibilities for…
