Gluten-free Soy-free Oil-free Vegan Sausage Crumbles

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I was possibly a little too excited to receive an advanced copy of Kathy Hester’s latest book, OATrageous Oatmeals: Delicious & Surprising Plant-Based Dishes From the Humble, Heart-Healthy Grain. Oats are one of my favorite ingredients because they’re cheap and versatile, something demonstrated with gusto in Kathy’s new book where oats are transformed into anything from cream cheese to sausage crumbles. Oh, and Kathy &OXO have formeda very tasty partnership so be sure...

Mouthful O’ Midwest Sandwiches

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Just in case my“midwest” knuckle tattoos (complete with a tiny ear of corn on one finger) and the tattoo of a Chicago style hotdog on my shoulder didn’t tip you off, I would like to officially disclose my status as a Midwesterner right now. I grew up in good ‘ol Channahon, IL, a town I lovingly referred to in a previous recipe post about Vegan Taffy Apple Salad. Some of my fondest memories involve hopping on my grandpa’s Honda motorcycle and riding (with him driving,...

The 1999 Alloy Spring Catalog

From BakeandDestroy.net:

Gather ’round, children, grannie Natalie is going to spin you a tale of a time long before Amazon,Zappos and Nasty Gal. A time when teenaged girls acquired cool clothing through a now-antiquated system called mail order. The Internet did exist then, but our moms would never let us put their credit card information into the computer! And so, we saved our pennies and once we had enough for tax and shipping saved, we’d beg our moms to write a check for us, then steal a st...

May Favorite Things Giveaway

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I am obsessed with “favorite things” posts from the bloggers I love. When blogs likeEveryday is a Holiday and Twinkie Chan post round-ups of ridiculously cute things I simply cannot live without I’m a goner. And it’s not like I don’t already sit in the bathtub and favorite things on Etsy, because I certainly do! So I thought it would be fun to give a favorite things post a whirl and see if you guys feel the same way. Oh, and some of the sellers I love have even kicked...

Donut Salad or Droutons or Something Equally as Stupid

From BakeandDestroy.net:

First came the cronut. Then the donoli. I just heard about wonuts here in Chicago. Earlier this week on my Facebook page I wondered what the next donut hybrid might be. Dalad, perhaps – donut salad?

So how does one make a donut salad?Make a mixed greens donut, top it with some tomato and olive mini donuts, some French dressing donuts on top of that… But seriously, how are you supposed to eat that? If I’m going to create a nonsensical donut salad I intend to eat it. So i...

Vegan Crepe Recipe + Vegg Giveaway

From BakeandDestroy.net:

I had a chance to check out Vegg, the plant-based egg yolk replacer that’s been simultaneously sweeping and weirding out the vegan community. Yes, there are lots of whole food options for egg replacement in your recipes (click here to download my handy egg & dairy replacement sheet), but none of them give that rich, yolky flavor chicken eggs do. Vegg does. So much so, that it might freak you out a little bit at first. In fact, you can actually make “egg yolks” with Veg...
