Vegan Artichoke Lasagna
Time to revisit my vegan lasagna recipe. Lately, I have been high on Daiya cheeses, mostly because they really do melt. They don’t exactly taste like cheese but they don’t NOT taste like cheese, if that makes sense. I got … Continue reading
Macaroni and Mimolette
OK, to be literal, it’s penne and mimolette, but there are parts of New Jersey where they call all pasta “macaroni” and red sauce “gravy.” Jersey Strong! I don’t eat much cheese since I don’t tolerate the lactose, and even … Continue reading
Gratin Un-Dauphinois (Lactose-free)
The weather turns cold and a young girl’s fancy turns to gratin. Even the cat “occupies” his own bed in this weather, showing solidarity or simply hogging the heater? Theories can be found here. But back to the gratin. I … Continue reading
Vegan Lasagna with Daiya Cheese and Crimini Mushrooms
I saved some tomato sauce from the purple carrot soup and bought my first bag of Daiya cheese in order to make another vegan lasagna. It was quite different with the Daiya, which Mattie of Veganbaking.net finds a little “mayonnaise-y” … Continue reading

Dairy-free “Cheesy” Shepherd’s or Cottage Pie
There’s nothing local about either of these fruits — I think the pears are from Peru and nobody grows bananas in this hemisphere, but I have recently visited the Chicago Institute of Art and I was in the mood for … Continue reading
Vegan Lasagna Take Two: A Spring Affair
I was taken with these wee cute organic zucchini in the market, plus Wichita Sims found a casserole I used to make lasagna in all the time when she re-organized my cupboards, so I was inspired to do another variation … Continue reading
Scalloped Potatoes — Vegan, Lactose-free, and otherwise
Mattie at Veganbaking.net (straight out of Brooklyn, yo) did this awesome comparison of some vegan cheeses and it got me thinking, could I make a decent scalloped potatoes with vegan cheese? Scalloped (or escalloped!) potatoes are an essential comfort food … Continue reading
Vegan Lasagna Can Be Beautiful
I might have mentioned that I am intolerant of lactose — even when it comes from sheep and goats. I also adore Italian food, unfortunately, because it is one of the most cheese-centric of all cuisines. Therefore, I have had … Continue reading
