Some of last week’s dinners included my recreation of NYT’s Baked Romanesco Broccoli with Mozzarella and Olives, where I turned it into a vegan pasta dish by adding extra wide yolk-free ribbon pasta, all vegan cheeses (Violife Mozzarella, Feta and Parm) and a little cashew cream before baking it. It was phenomenal! I still want to try a couple more tweaks, but once I get it just right, I’ll type up the recipe and share it. Because, honestly, who doesn’t love romanesco?! LOOK AT IT!! 😍I also made “traditional” vegan maztzo ball soup which is a household fave, a Buddha Bowl featuring baked tofu and broccoli over rice then slathered with the delicious cheese sauce from Veggie on a Penny (thanks, Jenn!) which is incredible! I also made Olive Pasta Even a Toddler Will Love from The Plantiful Table cookbook – another fave around here, followed by another Buddha Bowl, this one with roasted tofu, broccoli and delicata squash over wild rice and slathered in a lemony-spicy tahini sauce with roasted pepitas on top, YUM! And last but not least, I made the Black Eyed Pea Pot Pie from the Sweet Potato Soul cookbook that I gave myself for Christmas. So good and a new way to enjoy black eyed peas in the new year! It’s not super pretty, in fact, it reminds me of many meals I ate growing up in the ‘70s, but trust me, it was great! I added No Evil Foods Comrade Cluck No Chicken in it too for a little more meatiness. It held up perfectly! Ahh, all good stuff. Now I’m hungry. Gonna go get started on tonight’s dinner soon... #vegan #vegansofig #easyveganrecipes #sfvegans #theveganstruggle #meatfree #dairyfree #eggfree #plantbased #veganuary #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan (at Kook Corner) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWcDK0jy4Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3furhzu1vpe4

Just realized I haven’t made a food post in like, a month! Pretty sure that’s some kind of record! It’s been a busy few weeks around here so it kept getting pushed aside. Now, being stuck indoors way more than I’d like because of the fire, I can catch up and post some of the highlights and new dishes I’ve tried since my last post! First pictured is one of my easiest meals to throw together, Taco Pizza! I used cornmeal crusts and topped them with decried pinto beans, vegan cheese, jalapeños and black olives, baked em, then added shredded romaine, tomatoes, more olives and peppers, vegan sour cream, lime and Tajin. So yummy! Next I tried the NYT Roasted Cauliflower with Feta, Almonds and Olives recipe that was fantastic! I used Violife’s delicious vegan Feta, that’s currently my fave vegan cheese. Next is a fave of mine from a couple years back (also NYT), Farro with Roasted Squash, Feta and Mint. Such a great flavor combo — cooking the farro in apple cider is key! Then we have the NYT Spicy Roasted Broccoli Pasta that I’ve tweaked over time to make perfect by adding several dif vegan cheeses and Spicy Italian Beyond Sausage! Then, I tried the Vegan Mashed Potato Bowls from Rabbit and Wolves. Delicious! I used the same method to make tofu tacos (not pictured) as well! Next is ANOTHER veganized NYT recipe, Pasta with Sausage, Squash and Sage Brown Butter! Beyond Sausage was PERFECT in this recipe! I’ll definitely be making it again. Oh! I tried the No Evil Chorizo in a tofu scramble this weekend. It was great! I like the toothiness of seitan-based sausage way better than tvp or soy. Last but def not least is one of my favorite cool weather souped from Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Chickpea and Rice Soup with a Little Kale. It’s almost clam chowder-esque, which is why I love it so much! #allvegan #vegansofig #vegan #sfvegans #whatveganseat #wheredoyougetyourprotein #veganmeat #vegancheese #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan (at Kook Corner) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqI0BO2gTlI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ifchgr3ufnaw

Tried Next Level Burger today for the first time and it was definitely decent for a fast food-type fix! I had the crispy chicken “burger” and Paul had the Bleu Cheese BBQ Burger. We split the spicy loaded tots and a cherry shake. The standout for me was the shake for sure. The burgers were good, but in a Veganburg or Vegan Picnic way. (Meaning you could easily make similar ones by buying some Gardein patties and buns.) That said, they carry Beyond Burgers and Sausages, so I’ll be ordering one of those next time, and they have a meal-sized salads and lots of other sides and desserts. It’s a pretty big menu that gives you the calories for each item, which could be pretty horrifying if you care about that stuff, lol. Overall, I like the idea of it, and it’ll definitely come on handy when I feel like having a shameless calorie-fest. Like, any given Sunday morning... #vegan #vegansofig #sfvegans #nextlevelburger #wholefoodspotrerohill #veganfastfood # (at Next Level Burger San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm_3v5AAH7k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fvvszsam4xq9

GOOD NEWS!! St. Francis Fountain’s open again! Bad news that’s not really bad, they took the Polar Melt off the menu, but you can still order it! 🤷‍♀️ Jeff got that and I got what used to be called the Devil Burger that’s now called something else and has vegan jalapeño aioli on it. Both still super yum! The only visible change to the place is the menu. Whatevs. Glad they’re back, especially since this is their 💯th YEAR!! #stfrancisfountain #whatveganseat #sfvegans #whathungoverveganseat #iheartsf #meatfree #dairyfree #plantbased #theveganstruggle #trumerpilsforbreakfast #centennialanniversary #100yearsofdeliciousness (at St Francis Fountain)
