This is the muffin that I shared with my Facebook group last week (Hi guys!) 🙂 I baked them in a silicone muffin tray: According to the notes on my recipe page, I 1st made a version of these in 1998. I had written “Excellent!” on the top, and I was reminded why when I…
How to Make My Tofu Turkey: Step-by-Step
For many years now, I have made a “Tofu Turkey” for Thanksgiving. It is a vegan version of what is normally served during this holiday, complete with a delicious mushroom stuffing inside, and a crispy, flavorful exterior “skin”. It does require several steps, and the entire process will take a few hours. Two of those…
The Penny Pantry Turns ONE Today – We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!
It some ways it really is hard to believe that today marks one YEAR since I wrote my 1st Penny Pantry website post. Some of you who have been with me since the beginning may remember what it was! (I’ll let the rest of you know at the end of this post!) <3 When I…
Tofu Chocolate Mousse
Don’t let the tofu part scare you! Myself, I love tofu, but I have served this to folks who don’t normally eat it, and “I can’t believe this is tofu” was a popular sentiment. This is really yummy, easy to prepare and only requires a few ingredients. It tastes rich, yet apart from the sugar…
Recipe Review: Miyoko Schinner’s Vegan Caesar Dressing (My Favorite oil-free Dressing)
I have tried MANY oil-free Salad Dressings over the years, and this is by far the VERY BEST I have encountered. I usually double or even triple the recipe when I make it. Although it is a “Caesar” Dressing and super yummy for that, we use it on all our salads at our house. It…
Quick 5-Minute Vegan Cheese Sauce! (oil-free)
This is the cheese sauce I turn to when I want cheese FAST. I have been making this for years, and have tinkered with the recipe to get it to just how I like it. It’s very versatile, too: great for grilled cheese, quesadillas, in casseroles, over pasta, nachos, you name it! Even though this…
The Best Price for Nutritional Yeast
We use nutritional yeast at our house, primarily for making vegan parmesan and cheese sauces. The lowest price in my area to purchase it is actually found at Whole Foods! Prices can be regional, please check the current price at your store. Conversely, I have seen it as high as $25/lb. on store shelves. Do you…
Recipe: Vegan Black Bean & Corn Instant Pot Soup
This was the very 1st recipe I attempted in my Instant Pot many moons ago. We enjoyed it so much, it is now in my regular rotation. Once a week, I make a big batch of soup for the rest of the week. My husband will take some to work every day for lunch (he…
Recipe: Vegan Sausage Patties
This is my family’s favorite sausage patty recipe! The spices are what really make these special. I have tweaked the original recipe, testing out different ingredients over the years numerous times and settled on this one. The 1st time I tried the original recipe, I felt it was too bread-like. It called for more flour….
