Vegan French Mustard Seitan is a terrific dinner dish for special occasions like date night, birthdays, and holidays. It’s easy enough to make for weeknight dinners, too. Mustard Hater Turned Mustard Lover Growing up, mustard was my enemy. I had friends who would add it their bologna sandwiches or hotdogs, but I didn’t want it anywhere…

Top 10 Refrigerator Vegan Essentials
Keep your refrigerator stocked with my top 10 vegan essentials and mealtime will be a breeze! A few weeks ago, I posted a list of my top 10 pantry vegan essentials. The list was full of items that I keep on hand pretty much all the time to make sure there’s always something in the…
Where Do You Get Your Protein?
The one question that I get asked more than anything else is, “Where do you get your protein?” It usually comes right after “You haven’t eaten any of the egg salad or cheese dip. Are you one of those ve-guns?” I’ve been eating this way for so long, that I’m actually kind of tired of…
Praise Seitan
One of my favorite vegan protein sources is seitan. Despite how the name sounds, seitan isn’t food of choice for satanic vegans, it’s actually a tasty meatless food made from wheat gluten. It’s pronounced as it looks – say-tan. As a meat substitute, seitan isn’t quite as popular in mainstream cuisine as tofu yet. Maybe…
Seitan Chimichurri Tacos
Filled with seitan, mushrooms, peppers and onions, these Seitan Chimichurri Tacos have become a Taco Tuesday favorite in my house. If this recipe gives you a sense of déjà vu, it’s because it was inspired by the Seitan Skewers I posted a few weeks ago. I had a hankering for tacos, and I saw that there…
Unicorn Tacos from The Great Vegan Protein Book
“Where do you get your protein?” “I could never go vegan. I need my protein.” “I tried to go vegan, but I felt week. I just wasn’t getting enough protein.” These are all things I’ve heard many, many times. The question, “where do you get you’re protein?” is so ridiculous that the last time someone…
Stop Calling Vegan Food “Fake”
I recently watched a rerun of the canceled-too-soon show Raising Hope, and Cloris Leachman’s character Maw Maw was eating a plastic apple. “This apple tastes awful!” she exclaimed, and her granddaughter Virginia told her she was eating one of baby Hope’s toys. It reminded me of the bowl of fake fruit we had on our…
Vegan Seitan Gyro with Tahini Sauce
Seitan, vegetables, and tahini wrapped in a whole wheat pita – a Vegan Seitan Gyro with Tahini Sauce is the perfect filling lunch! I never had a gyro in my meat-eating days, so I’m not 100% what they taste like. They seemed to me to be some sort of flesh smothered in some sort of dairy-laden…
Soy-Lime Seitan Tacos with Mango and Chipotle Aioli
Taco Tuesday gets a fresh update with Jenna’s Soy-Lime Seitan Tacos with Mango and Chipotle Aioli When Vegan MoFo started last week I said that Tuesdays would be dedicated to book reviews. (And boy do I have a stack of books to review!) But I had a busy weekend and I didn’t have a chance…
