magical mystery tacos?

according to the recipe i found, these are linda mccartney's tofu tacos. whether that's true or not, they were easy to make and tasted great.

pineapple lentils

these little lentils cooked themselves on saturday afternoon. all the more time to fold laundry!

note: i used only 2 cups of dried lentils and 5 cups of water. i kept everything else the same. i know the ingredients sound pretty bland, but this does taste quite nice. it's a great reprieve from taste bud overload.

cupcake in a pod!

i haven't even eaten this yet, but it's too cute to not love. it's such a sweet little cupcake pod. it's from 'snice in brooklyn (where we also enjoyed a triple decker club and sesame chicken wrap).

brooklyn pancakes

years ago, pancakes and i had a falling out on the side of a highway in rhode island.  we have since resolved our issues and begun loving each other again.  these pancakes come from vegan with a vengeance, which was born and bred in brooklyn.  isa always knows what she's doing, so, of course, these are fantastic.  the only problem is that joe won't let me eat them every day, even though i ask at least that often.

tempeh chicken salad

joe is constantly seeking out the best soy dogs and vegan chicken salad. i found a recipe online and modified it a bit to get the right taste. my recipe is below.

tempeh chicken salad

1 large block of tempeh

3/4 C vegan mayo

1 long celery

small onion, chopped

2 t mustard

3 t soy sauce or braggs

1 clove garlic, minced

boil a small pot of water and boil the tempeh for 10 minutes. when cool enough, dice the tempeh into very small bits. mix together all the ingredients well.

tofu stir fry

this stir fry was great, and it whipped up in just a couple of minutes.  our brooklyn grocery store has tons of vegan options (5 kinds of tempeh, 2 brands of tofu, hundreds of soy dogs), so we bought a package of teriyaki marinaded tofu cutlets.  they were easy to work with because no pressing was required to get the right texture.

the tofu even comes with char lines!

i now have a small kitchen.

one of the things missing from our tiny kitchen is a blender or food processor, so i have been compiling a list of things i wish i could eat but am restricted from making. i'm sure this list will turn out to be far from complete, but these are just the things i've come up with so far.
