In our last email newsletter, you may have seen the announcement of our upcoming 7-Day Plant-based Challenge. In a nutshell, we’re going to make it super simple to eat a 100% plant-based diet for one week. Here’s what to expect. If you’re new to plant-based, we’ll help ease you into it by removing a lot of…
Manly Vegan Overnight Oats
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: making it vegan doesn’t mean making it wimpy. Kayli came up with a great way to drop the dairy from one of our favorite breakfast staples – overnight oats. We love the simplicity of this breakfast- throw some stuff in a bowl the night before and when you…
Vegan Philly Cheesesteak
I once had an authentic Philly cheese steak in South Philadephia. It was incredible… but the timing was questionable. It was the night before a college soccer game. Nice pregame meal, eh? This version brings the healthy along with the tasty. 5.0 from 1 reviews Print Vegan Philly Cheesesteak Author: James Recipe type: Dinner Prep time: 45…
Buffalo Tofu Sandwich
When it comes to buffalo sauce, the actual food is really just a vessel for delivering buffalo flavor to our taste buds. While most choose chicken wings, my meaty vessel of choice was always a buffalo chicken sandwich. Kayli and I were passing through Nashville last week and stopped by Wild Cow. When I opened the…
Creating a Healthy Eating Routine
We all have pieces of ourselves we want to change. I have a long list- and I often find myself analyzing what’s holding me back from making certain changes. Here’s the problem: It’s so damn hard to find the time and space for change in our day-to-day lives. We’re busy. On top of that, the tasks and appointments and…
Chipotle Brown Ale Tacos
St. Louis is home to some amazing taco joints – Mission Taco, Gringo, and Seoul Taco to name a few – and they’ve inspired me to mess around with new flavors, techniques and ingredients. This recipe is the latest result of weekend experimentation with slow-cooked vegan taco filling (check out last time: Portobella Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Cream)….
Mushroom Beet Black Bean Burger
A few months back we shared our go-to veggie burger recipe: the Basic Bean Burger. They are simple and quick to make. Another great thing about that recipe is that it is endlessly adaptable. Here’s one version we dig: Black Beans + Beet + Mushrooms. The combo of these three ingredients creates a burger that looks and…
Spring Man Salad
Happy spring! We’ve had spring showers the last few weekends in St. Louis, and the weather has been reminding us of a certain spring 2014 weekend. Last May, we gathered our favorite people and jammed them into a little gazebo for a wedding in the rain. Let me tell you – it was the happiest thunderstorm we’ve…
Lemon Mint Aioli
At a certain point in the late middle of my life I made the unexpected but happy discovery that the answer to several of the questions that most occupied me was in fact one and the same. Cook. -Michael Pollan, Cooked Kayli and I have been reading Cooked together over the last few months (aloud to eachother…
Man Sandwich Blueprint
A few months ago I let you in on my workday lunch salad routine. While a “Man Salad” might make you stick out like a sore thumb, their virtues have me hooked. Since I started prepping a week’s worth of salads on the weekends, I’ve freed up valuable time during the workweek and I save a…
