Chik'n Seitan Bites [Vegan Mofo]

Vegan Month of Food marches on.

I need to pick up the pace for the last week of mofo! I've got more pics from last weekend, and I am happy to say that I was able to finally get more groceries to fill my empty fridge, haha. I hope to make some cool stuff for this last week of Vegan Month of Food!

This was Sunday's concoction: Chik'n Seitan bites. I used the same technique and similar ingredients as I did with These Chik'n style bites and with these seitan strips.

Roughly, my ingredients included: vital wheat gluten, a LOT of Montreal Steak Seasoning, Old Bay Seasoning, steak sauce, a little canola oil, and some water. I kneaded everything for several minutes, then tore off chunks and lined my toaster oven pan with foil and put the chunks down on the pan. I baked in the toaster oven for about 15-20 mins on 350F, flipped the chunks to the other side, and baked another 10 minutes or so.

They were really salty but also pretty tasty. I ate them with BBQ sauce.

Broccoli Fried Rice [Vegan Mofo]

Vegan Month of Food continues...

This is what I made on Sunday. I used up the rest of the brown rice we had, and sauteed it with onion, garlic, and mixed veggies. I also added broccoli to give it something more. It was tasty. I mixed in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sriracha.

My Fridge [Vegan Mofo]

This post is for the Lightlife Products giveaway over on veganmofo.com. The giveaway is a fridge full of Lightlife products.

This is my sad, empty fridge. We're going grocery shopping tomorrow, thankfully. Our pantry isn't too much better.

More shots of the fridge & freezer.

Lots of frozen fruit!



Broccoli and a frozen banana:


Lots of condiments...


Random things in the fridge - lots of nuts, miso paste, water, rice milk, salsa, yeast, Smart Balance Light, and a block of tofu.



So that's all, wish me luck!

Taco Rice & Beans with Limes [Vegan Mofo]

Vegan Month of Food continues...

This was something made over the last few days. Just 2 cans of black beans, half an onion, frozen corn, brown rice, and taco seasoning. Served with lime wedges and hot sauce. Yummy!

Mango Parsley Raspberry Smoothie [Vegan Mofo]

Smooooooth sailin' into the last 2 weeks of Vegan Month of Food!

I made this on a whim, because why not? I am running low on food supplies, and it's been interesting to see what I can come up with. The other morning I was trying to figure out what to make and fell into a black internet hole of reading about green smoothies and staring at all the delicious recipes...could I make one?

I had a ton of frozen fruits and a ton of rice milk, and my parsley needed to be used STAT. So....Voila! Mango-Raspberry-Parsley smoothie. It was...interesting. Not great, not bad. I think it could have benefited from a more creamy non-dairy milk with more fat: coconut milk, almond milk, even soy. It would also be better with some mint and/or other greens. All the same, I think I want to see what other smoothie-flavors I can make so I can use up all the frozen fruit I have.

Cornmeal Crusted Tofu with Coconut Curry [Vegan Mofo]

Over halfway through with Vegan Month of Food!

I've recently discovered cornmeal to coat tofu and other items I want to fry or bake. It's great and makes things really crunchy! I don't have exact measurements, but I've been mixing cornmeal, salt, pepper, old bay seasoning, and other spices/seasonings until it tastes decent to me. I've used red pepper flakes, garlic salt, onion powder, seasoned salt...you get the idea.

For this dish, I think I baked the tofu bites, but I could have pan-fried them, I can't remember. I served with broccoli and a mix of brown and wild rice. I served the whole thing with a coconut curry sauce: coconut milk & curry paste or powder.
