Favorite Recipes

A work in progress!

From my pre-vegetarian/vegan days: (All recipes could easily be made vegetarian/vegan with a few simple substitutions)

• Spaghetti Squash and Sausage Casserole – I haven’t tried to make this without the meat yet, but I’ll attempt a tofu version soon.

Vegan

• Spicy Tofu Pad Thai – My own creation.  This has become a staple in my house.
• Carrot Bisque – From my awesome best friend
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillows – From Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero (The Post Punk Kitchen).  The most amazing cookies on the planet.
• Butternut Squash Risotto – AMAZING!!!  Every time I think about this recipe I want to go make it right that second.  (NOTE: this recipe calls for parmesan cheese, but could easily be made vegan by substituting a little bit of nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan cheeze instead)
• Vegan Pancakes – From The Clean Eating Mama
• Frozen Banana Peanut Butter Fruit Dip – So easy to make and absolutely delicious!
• Vegan “Crab” Cakes – OH.MY.GOODNESS.  That’s all I have to say.
• General Tao Tofu – A vegan version of General Tso’s.  From VegNews.
• Spelt Burgers – From Angela at Oh She Glows.
• Kale, Pears, and Quinoa – Adapted from Vegan Dad
• Chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting – A standard amongst our group of friends.
• Pan Fried Tamari Tofu Sandwich – My favorite lunch
• Smlove Pie – From Veganomicon.  WOW.
• Lentil Walnut Burgers – From Angela at Oh She Glows.  Best burgers EVER.  Make a double batch.  You’ll be sorry if you didn’t.  Also, this burger is absolutely incredible with avocado on top.  Try it.  Trust me.
• Almond Butter – Also from Angela at Oh She Glows (I’m sensing a trend here…).  I am so in love with this stuff, it’s ridiculous.
