Vegan MoFo, Day 23 – Fancy AF

It is time to go gourmet as we start off cheese week! Today, I’m here to show off our haute cuisine – something that will make you say, “Now that’s some fancy business!”

I’ve said it in just about every post this MoFo, but it always seems to be true. This meal started at the Farmer’s Market! We found some black garlic at Garden Treasures, one of our favorite vendors. We’ve never cooked with it before, so we asked the proprietor how to use it. He told us that it didn’t need to be cooked – just peel it and eat it, and boy was he right. Let me tell you how that small idea turned into a fancy AF dinner.

Vegan MoFo, Day 22: Unconventional Grains

I know, there’s no post for day 21. There will be – I hope to make it up tomorrow. This weekend has had many things, most of them wonderful but one of them heartbreaking. I’ll tell you all more about them when I have more time tomorrow. For now, let’s talk about unconventional grains – well, one specifically.

Vegan MoFo, Day 20 – Deconstructed Dish

Deconstructed?

That’s not really a word we’re used to throwing around in these parts. I mean, why take apart a perfectly good dish?! We’re far more likely to build a casserole than to neatly arrange small bits of food in a semi-circle. But, you know what? Sometimes, it pays to try something new.

Vegan MoFo, Day 19 – A Dish with Five Ingredients or Fewer

Picture it! Seattle, 2012.

All stories are better if you read them in Sophia Petrillo’s voice

Our intrepid bloggers have been dating for just four weeks. Everything is new. Everything is terrifying. Despite the anxiety, Mike doubles down on the terror and invites Sarra to his house for a home cooked meal. Now, you have to keep in mind that at this time, Mike was still an omnivore. So, what does an omnivore that is falling madly in love with a vegan do about cooking dinner? Well, in this case, he selects the most easily veganizable dish he can think of!

Vegan MoFo, Day 18: CHOCOLATE!

Not just chocolate, friends. Chocolate and pumpkin!

It’s October. Pumpkin is mandatory.

Vegan MoFo, Day 17: Let’s Get Boozy!

Booooooooooze!

We’ve both cooked with alcohol a fair bit (Mike probably more than I), but when it came down to it, there was only one choice for this prompt.

We’ll make heaven a place on earth.

 

Vegan MoFo, Day 16: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!

Listen, friends. If there’s no pizza during the zombie apocalypse, well, just let the zombies eat me first.

Vegan MoFo Day 15 – Spicy!

We love spicy foods! We wanted to do spicy right, so we took soup week into the soup-adjacent category, and made chili. Not just any chili, mind you, I made my famous chili verde. Read on!

Vegan MoFo Day 14 – Repurposing Food

Since last week was taco week, we have no shortage of leftover tortillas in the house. When you’ve got leftover tortillas and it’s soup week, you make tortilla soup!

Vegan MoFo, Day 13: Sell Yourself!

If you were going to market a food  you make, what would it be?

When I first read this prompt, I knew exactly what I was going to talk about: canned goods. Mike and I started canning farmer’s market produce a few years ago, and I’ve spent most of the past few summers preserving foods (this summer has been the exception). Here are just a few of the things we’ve canned:
