Curried “Chicken” Salad

Good grief does this look healthy! Well, if you don’t look at all the Veganaise in it. But still! The warmer weather makes me want to eat lighter foods. Especially when I am still holding out on turning on the air conditioning. These cravings coincide nicely with my wanting to lose a few pounds. Apparently this Curried “Chicken” Salad recipe came out of Vegetarian Times. Although I have no idea where I found it. It was just hanging out in MacGourmet and appealed to me when I was making the shopping list. The leftover salad held up nicely. I can see it being tasty in a wrap.

Tempeh Wingz

How did I go this long before making the Tempeh Wingz out of the first issue of the Don’t Eat Off the Sidewalk cookzine? Maybe it’s because I never ate chicken wings. Ew. Or maybe it’s because I still find tempeh to be a little odd, even though I like it every time I make it. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter now because these were a big hit! Messy to make and tasty to eat. Crunchy like they’re fried, but they’re not! Of course, the Earth Balance in the sauce might make up for the lack of frying. But I’m going to ignore that. Here they are in all their glory, sharing a plate with lemon roasted fingerling potatoes and a little pile of spinach.

Jackfruit “Carnitas” Again

I had the ingredients for Jackfruit “Carnitas” around since I didn’t get to use them for the failed potluck. So we had them for dinner, in flour tortillas this time instead of corn. I don’t think Kevin was too enthusiastic about them. I still dig them though and have been chewing on the leftovers for many meals. We ate the original meal with the Black Beans and Rice from the Miami Nights episode of Simply Delicioso. Definitely, simple, easy and yummy. Sometime soon I’m going to try one of her yucca recipes.

A first look at Vegan Soul Kitchen

A few weeks ago, I picked up a copy of Vegan Soul Kitchen. Lately I’ve been all about quick and easy food. So I picked the Spicy Smothered Green Cabbage to make first. It went nicely with some rosemary seasoned Pork style Match Meat patties with apricot sauce and steamed broccoli. The recipe turned out to be a really nice way to spruce up plain old cabbage with stuff I’m going to have on hand anyway. Next time you have a half a cabbage hanging out doing nothing, here’s a quick and easy way to use it up.

Even if you can’t come to one or participate, you can help by spreading the news with one of these banners.

I’ll leave you with a bit of food porn to get you excited about it.
