Tonight we had bean burritos with home-made guacamole and Tofutti Sour Cream. Yum. Jane puts black beans, an onion and a few drops of liquid smoke in the food processor, and voilia, vegan "refried" beans. It's a pretty quick and easy meal for her to get together, and we both really enjoy it. She always uses whole wheat tortillas too, so we feel good about our healthy "fast food."
Tonights version had a little brown rice, some diced tomatoes and a healthy dollop of Cholula brand Hot Sauce, which we get at Costco, of all places. And, as usual, the tortillas were accompanied by a large green salad. Dinner was filling and quite satisfying. Thanks Jane!

NY Vegan Pizza, aaah!Boy do I wish I was going to be in New York in October. In addition to still missing autumn after all these years, you probably know from reading this blog that I miss real NY Cheese Pizza. Admittedly, I don't miss it as much as I did...
KFC Canada Puts Cruelty Free On The MenuI seem to be writing a lot about fast food lately, which is somewhat ironic since Jane and I really don't eat a lot of fast food. The notable exception here is Taco Bell. They've been our lifesaver on the few road-trips we've taken since we've...
Why We've Got Salmonella In Our TomatoesAfter feeling all smug and superior about eating vegan these last few months (meat recall here, meat recall there), wham! tomatoes are infected with Salmonella. I wasn't planning on writing a post on this topic because it's all over the place, but...
PETA's List of Animal By-ProductsI stumbled across a list of animal ingredients and their alternatives as compiled by PETA. This list is a great reference point, and I wanted to share it with you, we've added it to our vegan resources page as well. Animal ingredients are used not...
Vegan Asparagus SoupI've been going to the farmers market to get my produce ever since I moved to California. Over the years I've noticed a change in the "seasonality" of certain produce, notably strawberries and asparagus. They used to be available only in the...

Hi! I just found out the other day that liquid smoke wasn’t some awful chemical sludge but was actually naturally made. Now it’s time to experiment– any other suggestions?
Hey, did you catch this “naturally” eggless cake on Culinary Bazaar?
Tanya,
You are a font of helpful information! The naturally eggless cake looks even better than the chocolate cake.
As for the liquid smoke, I emailed you a recipe I got from one of the books we’ve been reading for the last few months.
I’ve successfully used it in place of bacon in a few recipes. I don’t think I’d try it in a quiche (if I still ate eggs), but it works wonderfully with beans or in soup.
My only complaint is that it tends to drip out of the bottle and I always wind up with some on my fingers. Then I’m craving bacon for a few hours.
