There are just some sandwiches that I cannot forget.  Some sandwiches that I cannot get off of my mind.  At one point in my life, one of those sandwiches was a barbecue pulled pork sandwich.  Now I have not eaten pork in over two years, but what I have eaten is my own take on [...]

Looks meaty, eh?  But don't let the picture fool you.  This pizza is vegan all the way. On occasion, the recipes that I share here on CEVG are rather elaborate.  This recipe?  Not so much.  I think you appreciate that now and then though, am I right?  If you can turn on your oven, chop [...]

Not very pretty, eh?  I am going to be honest with you.  I had zero intentions of sharing this recipe with all of you after I attempted to take pictures of it.  I have said it before and I'll say it again.  Soup and I are not friends.  Now don't get me wrong.  I love making and [...]

This is my version of a buffalo "chicken" salad.  It has all of the goods: Chickpeas, buffalo sauce, celery, carrots, and ranch dressing.  Oh, and it is vegan!  Serve this up in hearts of Romaine lettuce or on toasted bread for lunch, or eat it with crackers or rice cakes for a snack.  No matter [...]

It is Friday and we are more than halfway through the month of January.  Both of these things are very, very good.  I already mentioned that January and I just do not get along.  This is the month where I am still feeling some of the holiday blues, and it is also one of the coldest and [...]

A lot of my creative (or some may think "weird") recipes come about when I am lying in bed at night and cannot sleep.  This is great and all, but it is also a little bit inconvenient since it a) interrupts my sleep and b) causes me to have to get out of bed to [...]

I have a confession to make.  As a meat-eater, I never liked chicken salad.  In fact, the idea of it totally repulsed me.  Now, as a mostly plant-based eater, I eat some of the strangest things.  Well, they are really only strange to my former meat-eating self.  I hate regular mayonnaise, but I love vegan [...]

I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  And now that New Years is on the brain, it would not be right if I did not share a 2013 wrap-up post focused on one of my favorite topics and the main topic of this blog: FOOD!  This was my first year following a [...]

Tofu Banh Mi Salad

in Other, Salads

Tofu, anyone?  No?  You don't like tofu?  Tofu scares you?  Tofu intimidates you?  Well, it is about time that we change that, don't you think?  With just a little bit of practice, you will come to find that tofu is actually super simple to prepare and it is also super delicious.  I love tofu baked by [...]
