Spicy Chipotle Blackened Tempeh Wraps

February 7, 2013 by Cara

The strike continues. I am in a no-bake zone currently. I refuse to create another cupcake batter after 5 recent failed attempts so my Valentine will be getting this Spicy Chipotle Tempeh Wrap instead. We both have been looking for ways to eat more vegetarian meals anyway and despite the fact that I have strayed from…

Raw Vegan “Goat” Cheese Dip

January 22, 2013 by Cara

I was inspired by the idea of a raw vegan “goat” cheese dip from a recipe on Pinterest (now, for the life of me, I cannot find it–grrrrr) a while back. It was in its original cheese form and I have been brewing on an idea of how to translate it into a non-dairy version but without the soy….

Vegan Cranberry Cheese Crumble

December 11, 2012 by Cara

Julia Child said to never apologize for what you put on the tableĀ for your guests. Always smile and never give away that you made a mistake. Chances are, they will never know anyway… I’m breaking herĀ rule right now by admitting that as I attempted to duplicate Brooke’s Cranberry Bars, I wanted to make them fancy…

Vegan Sweet Potatoes with Candied Pecans

November 16, 2012 by Cara

  I will be the first to admit that this dish doesn’t necessarily look all that appetizing. Part of the problem was I made this recipe with canned yams and omitted the egg yolks from my stepmom’s famous Thanksgiving recipe–and a bunch of mush is what it turned out to be. However, might I add…

The Best Gluten-Free Vegan Waffle

Gluten-Free Vegan Waffles - Fork & Beans

      My roommate’s eyes widened as the brilliant idea came to her mind as we stood in the kitchen. “I have THE best idea! You know what we should do Cara???” Okay pause right here; allow me to first interject a little backgroud knowledge. I am learning that anytime my roommate uses the word “we”…

Frozen Peanut Butter and Jellies

June 25, 2012 by Cara

The funny thing about my connection to peanut butter & jelly is my mother’s perfume: Estee Lauder’s Cinnabar. A rather strange connection, yes, but one that is completely etched into my memory none-the-less. Back in grade school and junior high  my mother used to make my lunch. A standard lunch: an apple (or some form…
