Vegan Chesapeake Tempeh Cakes

Posted on September 11, 2012 by peppertree

I made these last week and they were really good. The only problem was that they were very delicate and some fell apart! I followed the directions and made everything the day before. I am assuming that this is to … Continue reading →

Green Island Fritters over Rice & Verde Guacamole

Posted on August 30, 2012 by peppertree

I thought this would be so much better than it was. Maybe if I had fried the fritters instead of baking them? I think that would have helped. Liam and Toby really liked this dish, and had several fritters each. … Continue reading →

Seitan and Mushroom Stroganoff

Posted on August 27, 2012 by peppertree

This dish was really good, but next time, I think I will double the gravy. We needed more sauce! I served this on egg noodles, and we all cleaned our plates. You could serve this on rice and make it … Continue reading →

Whole-Grain Mustard and Cornmeal-Crusted Seitan

Posted on August 15, 2012 by peppertree

Oh my! This was wonderful! And so easy! Toby took one bite and asked “Is this faux-catfish? It’s great!” It isn’t faux-catfish, but yeah, I could see where he could assume that. I bought the seitan strips instead of a … Continue reading →

Little Potato and Sweet Potato Pancakes

Posted on August 14, 2012 by peppertree

Man, it’s hard grating potatoes! Especially sweet potatoes! Whew, I got a good workout! These potato pancakes tasted great, but really fell apart. I wasn’t sure how they would taste with banana in them, but they weren’t too sweet at … Continue reading →

About 20 years ago, I was student-teaching in Boone, NC. The high school I was in had two art teachers, and I was taking over for one of them. The other one, Shelton Wilder, would bring in this rice dish … Continue reading →

Roasted Red Potato Salad with Parsley-Pine Nut Pesto

Posted on August 8, 2012 by peppertree

Every now and then I throw ready-made items together for dinner, and we call it “Fesper” (German word) or “Ploughman’s Lunch” (English, and yes, it’s dinner and not lunch). We usually have a really good cheese or two, good crusty … Continue reading →

Broiled New Potato Puffs

Posted on August 1, 2012 by peppertree

I served these as a side dish to the open-faced sandwiches we had the other night, and let me tell you…these were awful. No taste, and they were barely cooked. Blech. I will take my crash hot potatoes any day. rating: … Continue reading →

Herbed Potato Salad

Posted on July 17, 2012 by peppertree

Oh Martha. My potato salad did not look like Martha’s potato salad. It was OK, but was kind of bland. She said to keep it chunky, but the pieces were just too big for me so I mashed things up … Continue reading →

Black Bean and Brown Rice Cakes

Posted on July 12, 2012 by peppertree

This might be the first time Martha has let me down. These were ok, but nothing special, and actually were a little bland. Could a jalapeno make that much of a difference? My son liked these, but he really likes … Continue reading →
