This is my attempt to bring the cookie dough flavor of my favorite holiday cookies into a warm oatmeal breakfast. I may still tinker with this a bit more, but I’ve been pretty happy the with this balance of spices.
Ingredients:
Oatmeal (instant or stovetop)
1 Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Molasses
Vanilla [...]
This dish started out as quesadilla filling from one of my first vegetarian cookbooks, Vegetarian Cooking at the Academy. I like it as a stand alone dish but it is also good in a whole wheat tortilla, with a generous spread of vegan sour cream (future post to follow, but basically, silken tofu, [...]

Ike’s Place in the Castro (16th at Sanchez) is having a bake sale tomorrow from 11 am to 4 pm! I’ve been curious about Ike’s vegan sandwich menu for a while and this looks like a good opportunity to stop by and check things out. Vegan cinnamon rolls? Yes, please. Benefitting Harvest Home Sanctuary and [...]
I’ve been curious about roasting radishes, and noticing a little traffic coming to LRR via radish recipe searches, thought some experimentation might be in order. Since I had luck broiling chickpeas (and having just soaked/cooked some the day before), I thought it would be interesting to throw some radishes on the cookie sheet as well. [...]
This was inspired by the simplicity of Cream of Asparagus Soup from VegCookingBlog and my love of curry and cauliflower. With a little less broth and the addition of curry and turmeric, this is another creamy, mild, lunch or dinner. The leftovers become even brighter because of the turmeric.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, diced
1 head cauliflower, cut [...]
Another tasty treat from VegNews. I have made these several times and they are crowd pleasers. Great to take along on a car ride or for a hike. Super easy to prepare, and I really like the flavor of the almond butter adds.
Ingredients:
2 cups rice cereal (I found Whole Foods bulk puffed rice cereal to [...]
I found this pudding while going through a back copy of VegNews (jan + feb 2008). I’ve made other vegan chocolate pudding before, but this is far quicker and the nut crust makes for a very nice contrast to the pudding. I make a third of the recipe, which fits into a 500 ml ramekin [...]
These little guys are flavorful and hearty. Easy to prepare, and cute to boot. There are many, many recipes that vary on this theme (see here, and this is hilarious from Cheap Healthy Good) and vary widely in both time and oven temperature. I experimented with cooking them at different lengths of time and temp [...]
I brought this to a New Year’s Eve party and somehow… failed to mention it was vegan. People who would not have sampled it if they’d known it was silken tofu based said they really liked it. Although, when pressed, said they could tell it was “lite” but appreciated it wasn’t as heavy as [...]
