Stir-fried Tofu and Vegetables with Miso Sauce by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Nov 2, 2009I don't post a lot of stir-fry recipes because, as I've mentioned before, I tend to make them by feel, adding whatever amounts of vegetables and sauce feel right. Since I usually use the same basic ingredients, most of my stir-fries taste about the s...

Roasted Beet-Tofu Burgers by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Sep 21, 2009High Noon Café, the only vegetarian restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi, where I live, serves the most unusual veggie burgers, bright red with beets and soft in texture from the tofu. The first time my husband recommended I try one, I was afraid t...

Chipotle Barbecued Tofu by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Sep 14, 2009I love barbecue, but I have to admit that I don't always take the time to make my own sauce. The bottled stuff is so quick and easy, though I have yet to find a brand that I really like. I may stop using bottled barbecue sauce completely, however,...

Creamy Zucchini and Basil Soup by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Sep 10, 2009While I personally didn't manage to coax a single squash out of my insect-infested garden this summer, some of you are lucky enough to be reaping in piles of the stuff. So the zucchini part of this recipe is for you. The basil part of it is for me:...

Korean-Style Cucumber and Edamame Salad by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Jul 30, 2009This summer's weird, split-personality weather—first hot and dry and now hot and rainy—has wreaked havoc on most of the plants in my garden. The high heat in early summer kept my tomato plants from setting many fruits, and then when the few toma...

Raw Corn and Black Bean Salad with Avocado by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Jul 17, 2009Ever had corn so fresh that you were tempted to take a bite out of it, raw, and see what it tasted like? Recently I brought home some fresh, organically-grown corn and decided to do just that. I took a little nibble and it tasted good, a little sta...

E's Samosa Wraps by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Jun 24, 2009Like a lot of 12-year olds, my daughter E is hesitant to try new foods—and when I say hesitant, I mean she has to be bribed, threatened, or otherwise coerced into trying them. So when I recently picked up a couple of Amy's Samosa Wraps because the...

Artichoke Tapenade by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Apr 22, 2009When D and I got married, 13 years ago next month, we did the catering for our wedding ourselves. Now before you go and get all impressed, I have to point out that it was a small wedding, around 45 close friends and family, and the menu consisted of...

No-Queso Quesadillas by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Mar 5, 2009I got a craving for quesadillas after seeing a recipe for them in the current Vegetarian Times—which is odd because I don't think I've ever had a quesadilla. Like a lot of popular foods (buffalo wings is another that comes to mind), quesadillas di...

Tofu, Tempeh, and Butternut Squash in Slow-Cooked Peanut Mole by FatFree Vegan Kitchen on Feb 17, 2009"It's spicy and sweet and peanutty all at the same time." From some people, including me, that would be a hearty endorsement, but those were the words my daughter used to express her dislike for this dish. "It's just
