I have been looking for a more authentic-tasting vegan feijoada that doesn't end up tasting like chili. This one looks like the winner. Love your blog.

The chocolate crispies were so easy it is almost silly!!!
I use Bakers chocolate chunks, but any vegan semi sweet chocolate chip will work.
Take 1/2 bag of chips and melt in microwave or with double boiler. Fold in rice cereal, the amount of cereal depends on how "chocolaty" you want them. Spoon into mini cup cake paper cups cool until hard, they stay solid at room temperature.
I have varied this recipe by adding chopped nuts or cinnamon. I would like to try this with Cap'n Crunch.... but am concerned as the damage this could do to the inside of my mouth!!
TOFU ROCKS, we are really luck to have local, organic, hand made artisan tofu.

I found your site today and wanted to say Thank you. My family has recently become Vegan, I have two young daughters. I love reading about the school adventures with snacks. How did you make the Chocoloate Crispies? We are having a Valentines Dance and I would love to make them. I am going to make the Tofu bites too. My girls LOVE tofu.

Thanks for the nod...
A far as can size is concerned.... I would consider them to be regular size, like a basic canned vegetable, not like a big juice or restaurant size can! I think the standard is 15 oz, but honestly I am not sure.

Hi,

Nice blog, but it would be appreciated if you specified the size of the cans you are using

Thanks!

Thanks Chris!

2010-12-04T19:42:49.246-06:00

I miss eating popcorn at the theatre. They use margarine here to make the popcorn and margine is not vegan so it's one of the few things I miss since I became a vegan. It's not so much that I miss the popcorn ... more that I miss the ritual that is popcorn and a movie. The blackened tofu sounds delicious. I am making some for lunch tomorrow.

Thanks to your post I now know how to get soy curls. I too didn't realize they are a product and so I was searching for a recipe when I came across your blog. I first discovered soy curls while on a beer road trip that started from Northern California to Portland Oregon at a vegan restaurant called The Blossoming Lotus. Oh my god they are so freaking tasty! I've been craving them since my road trip this past labor day weekend and now I'll be making them for a friends bday party tomorrow. I'm going to try and mimic how The Blossoming Lotus prepared them which is by baking them covered in nutritional yeast. Viva la soy curls!

What a great event! I love the idea of reaching out to others about veganism. If they don't "get" the compassion side of it, most will definitely "get" the health side of it! Awesome job!

These sound so great! I love mixing tofu with everything! This would be a good variation with some chipotle seasoning and avocado! I cook a lot of tofu you may want to check out at e-Eatery.blogspot.com! Thanks for the great blog and ideas!

omg, you made my day. I'm trying to make the switch to vegetarian/vegan and i actually just made these today at home during my lunch break at work...brings back good memories. I'm el salvadorean and used to eating pupusas(meat/bean filled arepas that are sealed rather than made like an openfaced/pocket sandwich). I wish there were more latin culture vegan sites/blogs like yours. Thanks!

2010-04-25T08:10:50.576-05:00

it cracks me up when non-vegs say they hate tofu... usually they've just never had it prepared correctly! i use it all the time in pot luck dishes (as creamy sauces, in mixed dishes) and they always compliment me and say how good it is... but later they tell me they hate tofu!

For the record, your bbq tofu was AMAZING! I grabbed the hot dogs for the girls b/c I knew they were available and I was in a hurry. I am so glad that you "forced" me to take some tofu too. It was awesome and I scraped my plate clean. Thank you!

For this particular recipe I did not add a liquid because I wanted it to be thick, but liquid is always welcome.
Sometimes I will add no chick stock and then use my potato masher to mash some of the beans which thickens the the soup a bit, then top with baco-bits. That presentation reminds me of ham and white bean soup from a can.... one of my childhood favorites.

This was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing ...

2010-03-24T07:28:35.575-05:00

This was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Should there be a liquid in the ingredients? (I added around two cups of stock. Was that close?)

2010-03-12T15:01:10.724-06:00

I believe it was Lightlife, but I cannot find it on their site so it may be Yves. It is like the "ham" only a bit thicker and smokier.... It was vegan... I always double check!!!

Canadian bacon? Is that a meatless bacon? I've never seen such a thing on the market. What stores sell it?

This looks yummy. It must taste very much like tabbouli, which is one of my most favorite things in the entire world!

Beautiful bunnies!
I love that you say garlic "teeth". I always do a double-take when I see it, but it's a great description.

Sounds absolutely delicious!
