Milestone Meatless Ribs

The Chefs: Abby and Frankie

The Menu: Yes, those are Frankie's Falsies ribs. Yes, they are just as delicious as we remembered them. Abby roasted these babies up and doused them in Frankie's barbecue sauce, which was absolutely perfect. She also made her signature biscuits—Abby can whip these up in about 10 minutes flat, and they are so, so good right out of the oven—with the surprise addition today of Daiya and an absolutely incredible cashew gravy. Oh heck yes. Also, there was a salad. But really, Daiya biscuits!!

The Goods: In case you were wondering what milestone we're celebrating today, it's the 500th post on Café VegNews! Yes, our first-ever blog is still running strong, and we're so happy to be able to share our weekday meals with everyone on these here interwebs. In honor of the event, Colleen made a fantastic apple crisp and Frankie made a delicious peanut-butter-chocolate pie from Alicia Silverstone's new book, The Kind Diet. Since we couldn't share the pie with everyone, we made a crazy, one-day giveaway for you! Just leave a comment with your favorite Café VegNews post by midnight tonight, and we'll randomly draw one winner, who will receive an enormous tub of Sjaak's Peanut Butter cups. They are, in a word, incredible, as you can see below.

    I live in a city which has no Soul Vegetarian restaurant. So far, their Mac n Cheese is my favorite, but now that I saw my favorite post, http://www.vegnews.com/web/articles/page.do?pageId=40&catId=10, about Mac n Cheese, and that recipe looks great...I think I'll have to pull out my Soul Veg cookbook and make both...Ooooh, what a yummy challenge. I also make my own mac n cheese...I'll have to make all 3 in one day and have a taste test fest, hehe

    I am so proud of VegNews, the little mag & the little blog that could. It changed my life, and every friend I gift it to falls in love as well. But enough with the vegan-buttering you up.

    My favorite post is http://cafevegnews.blogspot.com/search/label/chickpea%20flour - mostly because it resulted in a meal my husband loved and asked me to make again less than a week later. It also was the final push - the final moment of synchronicity, if you will - that pushed me into studying the Ayurvedic arts in relation to daily food practice. This has been a gift in my life, so this is my favorite post - so far!

    Cheers & Congrats,
    Kristen

    Breakfast Bonanza..being from the south..this breakfast ensemble makes it easy to adapt to the abundance of hearty foods that I was once accustomed to in my former life.

    I have to agree with "Birdfeed", the French toast with fruit will get me everytime. Thanks for the great ideas.

    I really love most of the posts, sometimes wish you shared recipes (hint, hint)... the post that sticks out most recently is the one regarding Daiya on pizza... really anything Daiya lately...have been really wanting to try it! I think your pizza post may have given me the nudge I need to just go ahead and buy it! Thanks!

    The recipes posted are awesome! I especially like the gluten-free and soy-free recipes or ones I can easily make gluten-free and soy-free. I wish you would post more of those, at least the soy-free recipes. The chocolate chili recipe, which I made with Quorn crumblies, earned me a first prize placing in a recent chili cook-off! Keep up the good work.

    My very favorite ones are anything with cashew butter or cashews in them. But then again, the Mashed Potatoes, etc. blog did it too and so did the Hurry Up Alfredo. It's been forever since I've had Alfredo! Can't forget the Portobello Perfection with the aioli .......... ok, so they're all good! Thank you for all of them and contrats on 500. We'll celebrate at 1000 too!

    Today's pic...I make biscuits but never put gravy on them. But cashew gravy? Oooooh that has to be made TONIGHT! Yum!
    I went to Alicia Silverstone's book reading in Danville, CA, ( the recipes are great FYI )and a culinary student made the carob cups in her cookbook, they were good but the cups you are giving away look great! AND my weakness. Yummy!

    When my and I first became vegan, I wondered whatever would we do without mac and cheese. So, "ta da"! Now we can have it whenever we want!!

    There's not much that I don't like to cook and eat, so I'd say that whatever I'm in the mood for that night is my favorite recipe.

    Any of the blogs about Daiya cheese are the most intriguing, as we have yet to try it! And we are waiting to get it in our area!!! (or order it form Vegan Essentials!)

    We would really love winning the peanut butter cups, though I do make them myself, but rarely!
