Pin it From the archives for the quickly dwindling World Vegan Month, a brown rice and French lentil salad and a little TMI about some self-help thing I did for like three days. Why god why am I reposting this one? Story and recipe here.

Pin it From the archives for World Vegan Month, key tips for making good vegetable stock at home. (Hint: don’t forget the potato peelings.) Find the story here on Serious Eats.
Pin it I am a gravy drinker. WOW, that feels good to get off my chest. On my hips, maybe — but off my chest. I should probably be a little bit sorry, but I’m not. Remember in elementary school, how some of the kids who went on to peak in high school used to [...]

Pin it From the archives for both Thanksgiving and World Vegan Month (take that, uni-tasking!), hop on over to Serious Eats for a chat about stuffed squash. It makes vegetarians feel loved on Thanksgiving. Turkeys, too.
Pin it In all the time I’ve been sharing little pieces of my world with you, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned how much I like to sing. How from sixth grade through college, I was always in at least two choirs at a time, and it was always my favorite part of the day. [...]

Pin it I’d love to pretend that I once had a meaningful relationship with Paris. Hemingway had one. Woody Allen had one. Carrie Bradshaw managed to have one, and she’s not even a real person. I think we’re all meant to feel hopelessly dull if we haven’t shone brightly in the City of Light. But [...]

Pin it From the archives, farro with broccoli and shiitakes makes an outstanding vegetarian main dish on Thanksgiving. Just leave out the parmesan cheese, and it’s vegan (and still totally savory). Find the full post and recipe here, and don’t forget to check out all of the World Vegan Month posts. Happy Friday!
Pin it There are two types of people in this world: those who lead with their best material, and those who save the best for last. Let’s not mince words — I kind of hate them both. But that’s totally not the point here. The point is that nobody, anywhere, ever, would bury their best [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what I feed my family for dinner on a mostly plants diet. So I took a picture of our dinner tonight. Look, there it is.

Pin it From the archives, it’s another of Umami Girl’s most-popular posts that just happens to be vegan. My friend Layla’s humble lentil soup, made with red lentils and only a handful of other simple ingredients, pleases just about everybody and will quickly become a staple in your repertoire. It’s certainly a staple in mine. [...]
There’s alchemy in the combination of onions and vinegar. These bright, gently perfumed pickled onions lend tremendous character to vegan meals and wildly carnivorous ones alike.

Pin it In the crisper this week, a homey mid-autumn meal that doesn’t like to be pinned down. Call it a salad or a warming main dish, as you wish. Recipe here on Serious Eats.

Pin it The bacon here in the U.K. makes me want to cry a little bit. Not a full-on heaving type of cry, but definitely at least a few stifled sobs. The traditional bacon choice here is back bacon, which is, in a nutshell, not bacon. It’s not very fatty, and it often isn’t smoked. [...]

Pin it This week in the crisper, a pizza that was clearly devised in the mind of a Jersey girl but (and now I can vouch for this) tastes equally good no matter where you are. Recipe here on Serious Eats.
Pin it Right. So it’s T minus 13 days until the movers come to pack up all of our hopes, dreams, and other non-electronic possessions to be shipped over the Atlantic to London. With any luck, they’ll arrive intact, and not too long after we do. With any luck. We were sitting down to dinner [...]

Pin it My undying love for garlic scape pesto means that I rarely consider eating garlic scapes any other way. But I think I’ve finally come up with a worthy alternative — a ricotta tart perfumed with gently cooked garlic scapes and lemon thyme in a hearty yet delicate teff crust. This is the way to [...]
In the crisper this week, a healthy and delicious vegetarian brunch dish that won’t send your guests careening into diabetic coma. And don’t look now, but it even doubles as a light dinner. No job is too big or too small for Ratatouille in Buckwheat Crepes.
I used to think of falafel as one of those salacious street foods that you don’t bring home to your family. But making your own falafel at home is much easier and more satisfying than you might think. Click through for the full story and recipe.

In the crisper this Thanksgiving week, let me begin by saying this: If you’re a squash, you’d better start sleeping with one eye open. Learn why stuffed squash makes an ideal vegetarian main for Thanksgiving or any day and an equally enticing side dish.
Some days I get a little jealous of vegetarians, with their conscientious objector status and their shining cholesterol levels. Thanksgiving has never been one of those days. But at least with this umami-packed farro recipe on the Thanksgiving table as a vegetarian main dish, I won’t feel too sorry for them anymore.

Where chiles rellenos are concerned, nothing beats the real thing. But if you’d rather spend a lovely spring evening on the patio, these chiles “resemblos” are a delicious, satisfying and somewhat leaner alternative.
Easy, healthy recipe for roasted acorn squash filled with a sweet and savory farro stuffing.
