Meat Swap - Hidden Fruits and Veggies

Zucchini “Crab” Cakes

Kelly — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:00:25 +0000

Pathetic confession: I never got a garden planted this year. I prepped the area, fertilized, made a plan of what I wanted to grow… and then nothing. I had a busy first month-ish of summer and by the time it was A. not pouring on the weekend and B. I actually had the day free, […]

Apple Cider Vinegar Tempeh Salad

Kelly — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:24:02 +0000

One of the main complaints people have about soy (tofu, tempeh, etc.) is that it’s always trying to be something it’s not. That’s a complaint I hear about vegetarians a lot, too — why try and make something taste/feel like meat when it’s not meat? To me, it makes sense. You would season chicken or […]

Reuben Dogs

Kelly — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 11:00:17 +0000

I probably say a lot of sandwiches are my favorite, but if we get rid of the basics (PBJs and grilled cheeses) then I can pretty confidently say that a Reuben is my most requested, most ordered sandwich. I always forgo the meat and occasionally swap in sauteed mushrooms and peppers or even just slices […]

Veggie Pot Pie with Biscuit Crust

Kelly — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:40:47 +0000

For 25 years, I thought I hated pie. Turns out, I hate pie crust. Crumbly top? Sure, I’m all about that. Graham cracker crust? Sure thing. But dry pie crust I’ve just never been able to get into. I would eat pumpkin or coconut cream pie and leave behind the bottom and edges (or pawn […]

Loaded Turkey, Avocado, and Mushroom Sandwich + Lightlife Giveaway

Kelly — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:00:37 +0000

There’s very few times I feel deprived as a vegetarian. There’s a meat sub for this, a better version of that, so really there’s no reason to feel deprived. Until I see someone’s meaty sandwich stacked mile high. While I’m a HUGE fan of a cheese sandwich (like seriously cheese + mayo/mustard, maybe some lettuce […]

Tofu Bacon

Kelly — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:00:27 +0000

I’ve been on a mission for the last year or so, and I’m happy to say I’ve finally met my goal. My tofu related goal. Everyone has tofu goals, right? I’ve been trying to recreate the BLT from my favorite (err, well, the only) local vegan restaurant, and I finally have the bacon down. Crispy, […]

Cheesy “Chicken” Ranch Casserole

Kelly — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:00:46 +0000

I go back and forth with Josh almost every week about how he needs to contribute to the meal plan, and every week he claims he has no idea what kinds of foods can be made vegetarian. Let’s ignore the fact that there’s a meat substitute for almost literally every kind of meat in the […]

Check out the cheese in those photos and get excited for this Skillet Eggplant Parm, conveniently gluten free because today’s guest poster doesn’t eat the glutens.

Vegetarian “Chicken” Philly

Kelly — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 04:09:35 +0000

Oh, you were expecting Thanksgiving foods so close to Thanksgiving? Ehhh, I gave you two kinds of gravy and an appetizer, what more could I possible have came up with? Truth is, I have a hard time making holiday foods several weeks before the holiday. I’ll be making a full Thanksgiving meal (minus the turkey, […]

Butternut Squash Gravy

Kelly — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:00:34 +0000

I sit here writing this while enjoying my first Chestnut Praline Latte of the season. Somehow, Michigan was randomly selected as one of the places to product test last year, so I drank approximately 8 billion last year and have been impatiently waiting 9 months to be reunited with my one true love have another […]
