Sometimes the eternally upset redditors get mad at me for calling things by their meat-based names when there’s no actual meat in the ingredient list. I thought about changing the name of this dish to “mockballs” but something doesn’t quite seem appetizing about that, does it. I don’t feel too guilty calling them meatballs, either;…

Spiced Black Bean Burgers (a.k.a. the Instant Classic)
In all my years as a vegetarian, I have never made a veggie burger this good. It held its shape when cooking, tasted amazing, it’s high in protein and nutrients, and it stands its ground in the burger game. From now on I’m going to use this as my base for burgers and go from…

A lot of people have the notion that vegetarians always eat healthy. WRONG. We like greasy bar food just as much as the next person. I’m doing a double-shot of fried food posts because a few friends and I decided to get together for lunch and experiment frying different foods. I got this recipe from…
Avocado Fries
These are going to be the next big thing. I mean it. A few years ago sweet potato fries exploded, and now you see them on bar menus everywhere. Next, it’s going to be these avocado fries. Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Since you cut the avocado shortly before coating and frying…
