Vegan Crunk

Back in December, I posted a sad goodbye to Memphis' most-beloved Vietnamese restaurant, Pho Binh. After 20 years, the family who owned this very vegan-friendly spot decided to call it quits, as...

Slider Inn is one of my favorite places for vegan options, and they've recently added another vegan item to their already-big menu. These BUFFALO CHICKEN SLIDERS with vegan cheese are SO GOOD. I ...

Molly's La Casita has been around for ages, and it's long been a favorite spot of mine for a margarita. But I recently discovered their new-ish, massive vegan menu. I say "new-ish," because they ...

I made another winner from Tabitha Brown's Cooking from the Spirit book last week. These SWEET POTATO AVOCADO TOASTS use baked sweet potato slices in place of bread, and they're topped with avoca...

The Spring Equinox, also called Ostara, was Tuesday, and it's a holiday traditionally celebrated with eggs. But that's a no-go for me. Thankfully, Just Egg is back on shelves after a brief shorta...

I got a Llewelyn's Witches' Datebook Calendar for Christmas, and it has fun and seasonal recipes every month. For February, there was a WHITE BEAN & BACON SOUP that wasn't vegan. But it was super...

Memphis is now home to a fully vegan cheese and wine shop! Vegan cheese-maker Julie Piatt (who is married to ultra-athlete/podcaster Rich Roll) moved her SriMu cheese shop into Crosstown Concour...

A couple Fridays ago, I met up with my mom at our Native Brew Works , out favorite meeting spot in Jonesboro, my hometown. Neither of us live there anymore, but my me-maw still does, so we meet u...

I do the Little Rock Marathon — either the half or the full — every year. It's my favorite road race, and the medals are amazing. This year, I just did the half because I'm not getting back i...

On my last Trader Joe's visit, I picked up a box of the frozen Tofu Sheets everyone has been talking about. They're really just yuba sheets, and I can get those at my local Vietnamese market, whi...

I've been reading Tabitha Brown's Feeding the Soul, which is her self-help book filled with Tabisms, but it also has a few recipes, including one for a VEGAN TUNA MELT. Now, I never liked real tu...

Paul worked late on Valentine's Day this year, so we pushed our Valentine's dinner to Sunday, his only day off. And I waited too late to try and make reservations. Most of the places we usually g...

I didn't plan it this way, but all three of today's food pics are in the same bowl. I only have one of these pasta bowls. It's shallow and wide, and I love it, so I use it all the time. Last nigh...

Tuesday was Galentine's Day, so 16 of our Memphis Hash House Harriers harriettes (aka the lady hashers) got together for a big girl dinner at the Beauty Shop. Because we had such a large group, t...

This past weekend, I traveled with the Memphis Hash House Harriers to Birmingham, Alabama, for the Birmingham Red Dress Run. Hash groups across the country have red dress runs for charity, and so...

Last week, I made a rare trip out to the Trader Joe's in Germantown. It's about 35 minutes from my house in Midtown Memphis, so I don't get out that way much. And in rush hour traffic, it ended u...

The pagan celebration of Imbolc was Friday. It's the cross-quarter day between the winter solstice and spring equinox, so it means we're now more than halfway done with winter. Yay! On Friday, I ...

Last Saturday was a Memphis Hash House Harriers hashing day, which meant I spent several hours running through the city in the cold drizzle with about 20 of my friends. Afterward, I was very hung...

One day last week, I was feeling creative in the kitchen, so I decided to turn a planned Impossible-burger-and-fries dinner into an Indian fusion feast. I created a CURRY BURGER by mixing curry p...

Last week, Memphis got a rare snow, which was cool for, like, one day. And then that snow lingered for a week! Oh, and on top of that, there was sleet mid-week that added a solid sheet of ice to ...

As I mentioned yesterday, I wrapped up two weeks of the Plant You Revitalize plan — a whole food-based meal plan from a free e-book that came with my preorder of Plant You's Scrappy Cooking. It...

Technically, I'm done with the two-week Plant You Revitalize plan, but I'm behind on posting pics. So I'll be sharing those in posts early this week. Now that it's over, I'm hoping to find better...

Since last Monday, I've been making recipes from Carleigh Bodrug's Plant You Revitalize e-book. It's a freebie when you order her new Scrappy Cooking book ! I'm feeling good and working on trying...

I'm all caught up on sharing December meals, so here's an update on how I'm eating in January. I typically do some sort of reset plan, where I focus on whole foods. And this year is no different....

Starting next week, I'll share how I've been eating on the Plant You Revitalize plan, but first, here are the last of my recent meals before I jumped on the whole foods wagon for a bit. Last week...
