About me: I started cooking in my early teens after going vegetarian and then vegan. Fast forward 15+ years later, and I'm still cooking! I share my life with Mr. Snoopy, and we live in a little old house with a mind/personality of its own.

land and sea soba salad from Blissful Bites: Vegan Meals That Nourish Mind, Body, and Planet

Another great sea vegetable recipe from this book. I was super happy with how this recipe came together. It made a very blissful weeknight meal for me. Very pretty with different veggies, and it had... read more >

The Uncheese Cookbook: Creating Amazing Dairy-Free Cheese Substitutes and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes

By Joanne Stepaniak
Vegan - 1994

Small tofu cubes are simmered in a savory broth and then marinated. This recipe takes some time but works very well as a substitute for dairy feta. As a bonus, the All-Season blend makes a great instant broth; keep some extra powder around to make when sick.

This lowfat fettuccine alfredo uses frozen corn (among other ingredients) to make a sweet, creamy sauce. Mr. Snoopy says it's not quite like the classic, but he'd rather have this given the nutritional profile of the original. The sauce comes together easily while the pasta cooks, so I like this as a fast weeknight meal.

This recipe is very easy to make (just use caution on the amount of pimento or roasted red pepper used -- drain well and use no more than called for or the spread will be runny and more sauce than spread). I also like that it is a whole foods dairy substitute with beans as the base and no weird ingredients. The cheese taste comes primarily from nutritional yeast -- you'll either like it or you won't.

A half recipe of this is usually plenty for me to use up over a week or so.

I have made this a number of times for parties with non-vegans, and it has always been gobbled up. Mr. Snoopy and I like the variation of spreading it on english muffins and broiling -- makes a very tasty dinner, just make sure to eat right away so they don't get soggy.

Mr. Snoopy and I both rated this one as "excellent." I used full-fat vegan mayonnaise; this is not a lowfat dish -- just classic comfort food. I served it with roasted broccoli. It is sweet and rich, so no need for a dessert. I used broken lasagne noodles for the wide, flat noodles. Very easy to make. Will make this again for Mr. Snoopy when need a quick meal that is still special.
