Podcast: Masters of the Obvious
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I read a tweet somewhere that joked about all the podcasts mediocre white men were going to launch during quarantine, but luckily there are plenty of cool new pods like Masters of the Obvious to counter them. Cynthia Rose and Kirsten Bosio are hilarious, nerdy, and really fun to listen to. And, as I found out on their premiere episode, they’re also fun to talk to!
You can listen to my episode below, and be sure to subscribe so you can hear their chats with other ...

Vegan Buffalo Jackfruit Dip Recipe
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Just in case you thought I was exaggerating when I called my house “Dip City” in my previous post, here comes another hot dip recipe for all those parties you better not be having right now. Apparently Buffalo Chicken Dip is a big deal in the Midwest. I have an ear of corn tattooed on my finger, so I thought I was pretty Midwestern, but I was not aware of this phenomenon until recently. So I challenged myself to not only create a vegan version, but to skip most of the s...

Vegan Spinach and Jackfruit Dip
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Mid-July probably seems like a weird time to make a hot dip, but as some of you might know, I head up marketing for Upton’s Naturals and one of my jobs is working with our PR team on items to pitch to the media. Right now they’re working on their holiday and Super Bowl pitches so it’s been Dip City at my house lately.
Since this recipe was going to be gluten-free without any effort on my part, I decided to add the challenge of making it nut-free as well. Not onl...

Vegan Nachos Rule Pizza
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Two years ago I had a great time participating in the Paulie Gee’s Dough Down Throw Down IV Vegan Edition. I made FOUR GALLONS of vegan nacho cheese for my entry, Nachos Rule, and ended the night in the best way possible – tying for the win against my friend.
Outside of the occasional series of Instagram Stories, I never make cooking videos. I just don’t have a good set up for it in my apartment, and I kind of started recipe blogging in a pre-YouTube age so I ju...

Podcast: Coarse Grind
From BakeandDestroy.net:
I recorded my first episode of Coarse Grind podcast many, many years ago so we were due a catch-up. What better time than in COVID-19 quarantine?
Free Download – Bake and Destroy: Good Food for Bad Vegans
From BakeandDestroy.net:
Ive been saying for years ever since I regained the rights to my cookbook that Im going to do something with it, but I never seemed to get around to it. I had dreams of updating the recipes, which are now nearly eight years old, adding new ones and re-releasing them as zines as a nod to the vegan cooking zines I grew up on.
But, I drug my feet and now here we are in the middle of a global pandemic. People are hunkered down in their homes, and if social media tells...

Friday Five: Five Things That Made Our Road Trip to Florida Not-Hateful
From BakeandDestroy.net:
There are probably some SEO experts that would have a lot to say about that title, but whatever forever. Because we are Midwestern, we decided to drive from Chicago to St. Petersburg, FL over Christmas break – with lots of stops in between. We’ve made this drive once before, so this time we packed for SURVIVAL and despite spending nearly three full days in the car, we made it! Here are a few things that made the long, long drive a lot less hateful than it could have...

Friday Five: A Crash Course in Seed Cycling
From BakeandDestroy.net:
OK listen, I drug my feet about writing this post for like, two years. I’d casually mention seed cycling on social media, people would Google it and get overwhelmed, want more info from me – the person who brought it up in the first place – and I’d be like “eh, Google it.” There is a ton of info about seed cycling already on the internet – some of it written by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, some by popular, formerly vegan bakers, and some by naturopathic...
