Giving Thanks Vegan Style: The Complete Guide to an Animal Friendly Holiday
Posted by Mandi | Filed under Cooking, Food, Lifestyle
This Thanksgiving, give thanks for all sentient life by choosing to have a meat free celebration! It is very possible to have a fun, delicious and eventful holiday without the morbid dead bird tradition. I promise! To help you plan this upcoming holiday I’ve compiled a somewhat comprehensive guide to an animal friendly Thanksgiving. Lets get crackin’.
The Bird Substitute
This all depends if you are a fake meat kind of person or not. You don’t have to go with mock turkey as your main course, although some like to go that route to keep their meal somewhat traditional.
Tofurkey: The most popular turkey substitute I can think of. This is fairly easy to prepare and comes with gravy, dumplings, and amazing wild rice stuffing that is already inside! Just by choosing a tofurkey, half of your meal is complete.
Celebration Roast: A gourmet version of the tofurkey. This is an artisan-made vegan grain meat with a sausage-style stuffing made from butternut squash, apples, and mushrooms.
You can also make your own from scratch!
*For tips on how to prepare your faux roast go here.
Seitan Stuffed Squash - An interesting alternative to the main course.
Nut Roast - A delightful concoction of various nuts, spices, and bread in loaf form. There are tons of different recipes, although this one sounds pretty good.
If you want to go all out, try some veg stuffing.

After viewing this picture, my mouth began to water and I at once began a quest for one. The idea of pumpkin chili has never occurred to me before!!! But it sounds so right! Here is the recipe I found here with a few minor alterations. Oh, how I love fall foods! (more…)
Quinoa Craziness!
Posted by Mandi | Filed under Cooking, Food
As a vegan, there are plenty of reasons to love quinoa (all together now: ‘KEEN-wah’). It is a complete protein. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron . It is gluten free and considered easy to digest. It is fun to say.
There seems to be about 8,375,835 quinoa recipes for every reason it is fabulous. This weekend I made Chickpea-Quinoa Pilaf, found in the holy grail of veg cookbooks:Veganomicon. It was nummy.
