What has vegan lady eaten lately?

Vegan lady finds herself too busy to write here more often than not now that she's back in grad school, and I can't keep up with all of the great stuff we eat on my own. So here's a quick sampling of some of what we've been eating lately. Sorry there are no recipes, but leave a comment if you want one and we'll see what we can do.


Seitan braised in red wine mushroom sauce (incredible):

with some kale added for health:

tempeh tacos w/ Mexican slaw (the tempeh used the marinade recipe from "fajitas" on http://food.veganjon.com):

Simple Thai salad (nothing fancy, just a way to use up some leftover peanut-coconut dipping sauce from our spring rolls):

Roasted cardoon, jerusalem artichoke, and parsnip:

If you have never heard of cardoon before (we hadn't), it's a relative of the artichoke which looks like celery but tastes like a bitter artichoke:

Raw parsnip beet salad with pineapple-mint dressing:

Bonus points for making the salad with striped Chioggia beets:

But still good if you make it with normal beets (we liked it enough to make it twice):

and finally, pumpkin parsnip kale lasagna (with parsnips FINALLY at the farmer's market, I just can't help myself):
