Unribs from The Homemade Vegan Pantry by Miyoko Schinner
I’m really excited to give you a sneak peek into Miyoko Schinner’s new book, The Homemade Vegan Pantry. We loved her Unrib recipe at our house!

There are a few steps, so it’s a great weekend project. First you mix the seitan dough in your food processor. Second you cut and shape it into 4 long pi...

Roasted Beet Burgers from Eat Like You Give a Damn
I’m often just sent vegan cookbooks to review. But when I heard about Eat Like You Give a Damn, I got in touch with the publisher right away. I had to have a copy and mine was provided for free by The Book Publishing Company.
The authors, Michelle Scwegmann and Josh Hooten, run Herbivore Clothing. That’s a vegan store in Portland and online. I have a few of their stickers on my car, including one that reads “Only Kale Can Save Us Now”. Besides selling way too many awesome t-shirts, they have...

Fresh corn has started to appear in my CSA box. We eat it straight on the cob for the first few meals, then once that’s out of our system I can start cooking with it too. This vegan crockpot corn chowder is the perfect meal when you pair it with a hearty salad.
This recipe is from my book, Vegan Slow Cooking for Two and Fair Winds is letting me share it with you today. One of my favorite things about using fresh corn is having the cob itself to flavor broths. It’s awesome...

Get ready for your most favorite menu plan ever. The best part is that all of these with come together quickly or have parts that can be made in advance.

More goodies from The Vegan Slow Cooker for Two or Just You.
This deceptively simple dip fits into the grooviest ’70s fondue party and works just as well as a weeknight meal. You can serve it with steamed veggies, toasted bread cubes, or tempeh. Another great way to dress it up is to mix in some green or puréed veggies, which you can vary each time you make it.
