To go along with the omnivore’s 100 and the vegan 100, I’ve decided to write out the top 100 foods that I want to cook and as I fix them, I will scratch them off and perhaps replace them with something new. Some of these ideas are pretty mundane, some not so. Some are vegan, […]

Vegan Cheese Sauce Revisited
In this post on Nutritional Yeast, I gave a recipe for cheese sauce from How It All Vegan!: Irresistible Recipes for an Animal-Free Diet. Well I got to chatting with Wordvixen, a Twitter buddy of mine, about the recipe. Apparently Ms. Vixen grew up on nutritional yeast (good for her) and said she would try […]
Bragg’s Amino Acids
In my recipe for seitan, I listed Bragg Liquid Aminos as one of the ingredients. Everyone’s favorite Domestik Goddess then asked what exactly they are. I thought it would be a good thing to talk about since until only the last few weeks did I actually become aware of how to cook with them. Even then I went […]
Remembering 9/11
Somehow given the gravity of this day, talking about food seems somehow inappropriate. Talk to everyone tomorrow.
The Vegan 100
In response to The Omnivore’s Hundred, Bittersweet has produced The Vegan’s Hundred. The rules are the same for this list as the Omivore’s. I will bold all the foods I have eaten as I eat them, however I am only bolding them if I have eaten the vegan version. (All links are Bittersweet’s because she deserves the credit) Last edited 9-10-08. […]
The Joys of Nutritional Yeast
I’ve been trying to branch out and try new ingredients, especially those typically associated with vegan cooking. During my experimentation, I ran across Nutritional Yeast in several recipes (including my spicy “buffalo wings”.) I had no idea what it was, so I consulted my friendly local Internet and found out all sorts of interesting tibits. Nutritional yeast […]
Kiva and Food Blogs
Heidi from 101 Cookbooks has again inspired me, though this time without a recipe. After reading this post about setting up 101 Cookbooks as a Kiva.com lending team, I was inspired to log back into my Kiva account and make sure that all of my donations were allocated. For those of you unfamilar with Kiva, they make […]
Spicy Barbecue Seitan Wings
So last post, I talked about making my own seitan so that I could fry it up and make “buffalo wings.” Here are the seitan wings I made: It’s kind of hard to see, but they turned out really well. There was something about the light, moistness of the homemade seitan that turned into juicy wings […]
Homemade Seitan
For over year now, I have been a fan and evangelist of seitan, sometimes called Wheat meat or Buddha Food, which is a dough made from the vital gluten of wheat. But up until recently, I was using store bought packages rather than making my own. However, I decided that needed to change. Here I am, […]
In the Words of Ron Burgandy…
I’m kind of a big deal. 🙂 … or something like that. I did want to say that I was recently given the opportunity to guest post on so you wannabee a Domestik Goddess? which was a great opportunity. I really enjoyed reading through her site. I got a lot of recipes and gardening ideas while my […]
