This is what I threw together for last night’s dinner and I think it turned out really well. Sort of a Thai curry for wusses. Recipes like this are proof that “vegan” and “healthy” don’t always have to overlap. Stir-fry: 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp sesame oil 1 package cubed super firm tofu, drained, [...]
Kara felt like chicken noodle soup, so I gave it a try. I think this turned out pretty darn well. 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp vegan margarine (or butter) 1 large onion, diced 4 small celery stalks, chopped 3 medium carrots, chopped 8 cups water 2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon imitation chicken [...]

Ardent followers of this blog (all three of you) will remember that Kara and I used to live in Frederick, Maryland, just down 3rd Street from a great little local restaurant called That Cuban Place. Unfortunately, their landlord was a crappy absentee landlord like most of the landlords in Frederick, and allowed their building to [...]

Autumn. You have to enjoy it in Missouri, because you only get a week. Joking, joking. Still, is there anything more reminiscent of fall than squash? Probably. But this meal has been in our rotation for awhile. It’s vegan, it’s balanced, it’s just kind of warm, in a hard to explain way. Michael and I [...]

This meal is simply red beans and rice. There’s no freaking vegetables – outside of an onion – mixed in with the red beans and rice. It is simple, stick to your ribs, spiced perfectly, cooked all damn day food. It is extraordinary, and at the same time it is terribly ordinary. There is nothing [...]
This is a recipe from the 21-day vegan kick start program, put out by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. I’m not going to push that program or PCRM, because I don’t agree with everything they say and do and quite a few of the recipes we tried from the kick start program were appalling. [...]

Is good food hard? Time-consuming? Expensive? Sometimes. Sometimes not. I invite you all to join me periodically for a digression into what we’re cooking and eating. I’m considering hosting a separate blog for the subject, but for now, it will be here, categorized as “Recipes”. And in many ways, it belongs here. Michael and me [...]
Sometimes I envy our cat a little bit, at least where food is concerned. Kara pours food out of a bag and into a bowl for her, she eats it whenever she’s hungry, and it keeps her healthy and fit. Maybe that sounds strange since food is supposed to be such a romantic thing. In [...]
This is something I meant to post a long time ago, one of my “lazy recipes.” It’s an idea I had when Kara and I wanted crab cakes but were too cheap to purchase crab, and it’s really pretty simple — it’s just Maryland crab cakes made with cheap whitefish instead of crab, and a [...]

So Kara and I are back on Medifast, one of the diets we’ve tried and failed before. I don’t really want to get into it too much (yet) since I’m sick of this blog becoming a chronicle of diets we’ve blown, and I don’t like feeling like dieting is becoming a hobby. But I would [...]
