I'm moving!!!!

I love blogging all my vegan recipes, but I have gotten accustomed to using wordpress for blogging purposes thanks to evilgeeks.com, so will be moving my vegan blogging there as well. The new website: http://crunchyvegan.wordpress.com/

Hazelnut Vegan Chicken Pesto Pasta

The recipe from tonight was used almost identically from Meettheshannons, my favorite vegan food blog. I used TJs chickenless strips for my fake chicken. http://www.meettheshannons.net/2012/03/hazelnut-pesto-with-vegan-chicken.html

buffalo chicken pizza and another mexican pizza

I made this extremely unhealthy pizza once before, and made it again for pizza night this last week, it was a huge hit as always! Basically I mixed together my favorite ranch dressing recipe (all vegan naturally-http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2009/04/vegan-ranch-dressing-and-dip.html) and spread this over the bottom of the rolled out pizza dough. Then I cooked 1 package of TJs chickenless strips in some olive oil, and then soaked it in 1/2 a container of vegan buffalo hot sauce. This was then spread out over the pizza and it was cooke at 450 for 15 minutes. Hot but delish!

I also remade a previous mexican pizza recipe for pizza night- rinse one can black beans with 2 cans diced tomatoes. Spread over a pizza dough. Top with daiya pepperjack cheese. Cover with roasted corn and vegan beef crumbles (fried up in a little olive oil first). Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

tofu and kale breakfast scramble

This was my attempt to make enough breakfast to last me a week, but sadly I did not eat it for breakfast, it became dinner. Super easy to make though: just mix together 1 package crumbled firm tofu, 1 bag kale, two chopped red bell peppers, 1 can rinsed black beans, and 8 small chopped white potatoes. I boiled the potatoes first, then fried all together in some sesame oil. I also mixed in a little paprika and onion powder. It went well with a little daiya pepperjack cheese on top. Can also be served as tacos if you want.

drunken "eggy" noodles

This was a new combination of recipes: For this one I fried up a package of TJs vegan chicken, one package chopped green onions, 2 red bell peppers, 2 TBsp garlic, and one chopped bok choy in a small amount of vegetable oil. Once the mixture seemed to be well cooked I added a sauce. The sauce was a whisked together combo of 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 tsp basil. This was timed to add the noodles as well to fry with the veggies in the sauce for a couple minutes. I also cooked a package of vegan rice noodles while working on the fried veggies. This was all placed in a large bowl and the "eggy sauce" was then added. The eggy sauce was a puree of 1 package silken tofu, 1 tsp tumeric, 1 tsp salt, and 1 TBsp sesame oil. Pretty tasty! Those are TJs sesame sticks on top!
