Who says chicken gets to have all the fun flopping around in a pile of breadcrumbs and cheese? Tofu wanted to join in the party, so I made it happen. I experimented with this on a whim, and it turned out great! When making dinner with your favorite carnivore, you can use exactly the same […]

Mac & Cheese Revamped (and Vegan!)
It’s been a while since I posted, but as I finally have a spare couple minutes I am beginning to post all the recipes I’ve cooked and wanted to share since the start of Fall. Today, we make vegan mac and cheese from scratch. Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked pasta (your choice, I used fettucine) 2 […]
Weizen
Had a wonderful dinner at the local Upland Brewery. Indulged in the Weizen, a German wheat that went perfectly with my delicious (and vegan) seitan sandwich and brewery fries! Great bev and veg combo.
New Nachos
Lately I’ve been trying to make some foods in a Mexican style but with different ingredients. My favorite burrito of all time contains black beans, spinach, jack cheese, and fresh salsa. It is amazing, so I attempted to translate this burrito into a delicious nachos snack, and it was perfect! Tortilla Chips (I like Tostitos […]
Easy Peasy Pasta
This tasty pasta & veggies dish is so easy you won’t even break a sweat, unless your stove gives off more heat than your furnace like mine does. Everyone needs a couple “go-to” pasta and vegetable dishes, and this is one of mine. Easy Peasy Pasta (vegan if you skip the parmesan cheese): Pasta of […]
Willy Nilly Chili
I call this dish Willy Nilly Chili because you can throw in ingredients “willy nilly” without messing up the recipe. I’ve made this chili dozens of time and I don’t think I’ve made it the exact same way twice, but it always turns out great. I originally based this recipe off of one in a […]
Childhood Lunch Remix
I have fond memories of eating grilled cheese as a child, and it’s one food that I’ve never gotten sick of and probably never will. As an “adult” I’ve revamped the grilled cheese to be even more delicious. Because I made this for lunch in the middle of the week I did not pair it […]
5-minute vegan lunch
After my run today I decided to whip up a quick, vegan, protein-filled lunch. I used a recipe found in PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook called “Dorm-room Ramen Delight.” True, I don’t live in a dorm room, but I’m still a poor college student and still love Ramen noodles. I added a cut-up Morningstar Farms spicy […]
Microwaved tofu?! Yes please.
I learned something magical yesterday…you can microwave tofu, and it tastes awesome! Because I always pan-fry or sautee my tofu, which can take time, I don’t make it as often as I could. Yesterday, however, I came across a recipe in the PETA Vegan College Cookbook called “Better than takeout tofu.” The recipe is as […]
Winter Comfort Food and Beer
Everyone loves a good comfort meal, so why not talk about some good ol’ bev and veg comfort! It was a chilly day here in Indiana, and I decided to make some of my favorite vegetarian comfort foods, and pair it with my comfort beer. This tasty bev and veg combo contains: Blue Moon (wheat […]
