Vegan MoFo: 5-Ingredient Vanilla Ice Cream

Published by

The lovely Vegan MoFo folks have declared today’s prompt as: “What [insert well known person] would eat if they were vegan”. I am curious as to what the other MoFo-ers will be posting for today, as I know that I was stumped by this. I guess I can see some folks recreating meat dishes for famous carnivores, but other than that, nothing really comes to my mind. That is why I have adapted the prompt to be “What Maggie would eat if she were vegan”, since I am vegetarian. Obviously I am well known 😛 My boyfriend and I are ice cream maniacs. It’s a dessert that we both enjoy sharing together (which is rare, given that I am a chocoholic and he is a vanilla-and-fruit guy. We compromise by usually getting one scoop chocolate and one scoop fruit. Or both scoops coffee, since we both like that. Weird, I know). I’ve had this ice cream maker gathering dust in my closet for a few months now, so I thought Vegan MoFo would be an …

Vegan MoFo: Harvest Bake with Basil Alfredo Sauce

Published by

Gather, round, folks. Today’s Vegan MoFo prompt is: Make a dish using all seasonal produce. My Harvest Bake with Basil Alfredo Sauce is made utilizing the best of local late summer / early fall produce. Before I delve into the recipe tutorial, I figured I would speak a bit abut some relevant nutritional thoughts that have been on my mind. Lately, I have been doing some research into the diet’s relation to acne (Dr. Danby has produced some interesting articles). I’ve battled with acne since my teen years and can never seem to obtain clear skin. I’ve tried many types of cleansers (Proactiv, Neutrogena, some prescription cream that turned my face red, etc…) and nothing seems to work. I have been thinking about going dairy-free for a month to see if that helps. Does anyone have any complexion success stories with removing dairy? Anywho, today I will be sharing a luscious dairy-free, vegan alfredo sauce with you all. It’s creaminess comes from the cheesiest nut of them all, cashews, and dijon lends a bit of …

Vegan MoFo: Beet Hummus

Published by

I have a thing for beets. There’s just something exciting about the possibility of turning your recipe completely fuschia. The earthy taste is intriguing, too. For today’s Vegan MoFo post, I have incorporated these staining beauties to work their magic in the vegan staple, hummus. The prompt is: “Lunch on the go.” This hummus is inspired by Trader Joe’s all-too-addicting beet hummus (of which I may or may not have eaten the entire container in 2 days…). It is creamy from the tahini and white beans, earthy from the beets, and zingy and sweet from the balsamic vinegar. It’s pure heaven is what it is. I imagine you could make a mighty fine hummus sandwich with this beet hummus, some sprouts, shredded carrots, and sliced cucumber. Or you can just take a small (large?) container of this and bring along your favorite dip-worthy veggies. Or you can fix a salad and put a hearty dollop of this in the center for some staying power. Hummus invites so many quick lunch ideas. Beet Hummus Ingredients 1 …
