Deep dish pizza



Good Morning Lovers,
This mouthwatering pizza is from the other night as a result of the adorable begging of the fiancee. "Pizza? Please? ....insert puppy-dog eyes here"
  • Hand tossed crust
  • Tomato/thyme sauce from scratch (peeling tomatoes is super easy when you boil them for a few seconds)
  • Daia mozzarella cheese and vegan parmesan
  • 'Pepperoni', mushrooms, spinach, tomato, red onion, greek olives.

How to cure the flu...

Good Morning!
At the kind request of my little sister and the fiancee (who had the flu), I was forced to make my famous potato soup!

  • Home-made vegetable stock with plenty of garlic, rosemary sprigs, bay leaves, parsley, and celery seed.
  • Red potatoes, gold potatoes, russet potatoes, yellow onion, carrots, celery, and cauliflower
  • Rosemary biscuits, made from scratch.

How to make a sandwich sexy.

No burger on plain 'ol wheat bread with salad on the side for this gal! The fiancee and I picked up some spicy Boca Chik'n patties and I got down and dirty in the kitchen.
  • Spicy chik'n patty on Rye/Pumpernickel, with spinach, tomato, red onion, mustard, and cracked pepper
  • Cajun sweet potato fries with home-made ketchup (courtesy of my Dad's home-grown tomatoes and culinary expertise)
  • Buttered (Earth Balance vegan buttery spread) brussels sprouts and sauteed turnips and onions, seasones with a generous helping of garlic and Nutritional Yeast.
  • And what is a sandwich without pickles?

....Dark Chocolatey Goodness.....



       I made these dark chocolate brownies last night that are simply to die for! I altered a recipe from "The Joy of Vegan Baking"....one of my all-time favorite cookbooks. Don't make these if you are scared by intense chocolate....each brownie has the decadent kick of about ten boxes of Esther Price!
