Cookbook Week: Roasted Vegetable Frittata

The Chef: Liz

The Menu: A bevvy of breakfast goodies from 1,000 Vegan Recipes!

Savory and filling, breakfast for lunch might just be one of our all-time favorites.

  2. Roasted Mixed Root Vegetables - sometimes plain with just salt and pepper, sometimes jazzed up with a little mustard or maple syrup or spices. Letovers make a fantastic base for a soup too!!

  8. I'd have to say I love making an entire Tofurky roast with friends although when I'm home with omnivore family members, no one will share with me :( So, I whip up a sweet poatato~turnip~carrot mash with maple syrup, a cranberry citrus relish and brussel sprouts with a balsamic reduction. Plus of course, vegan gingersnaps and my new found creation, chocolate cinnamon shortbread, all veganized versions of my grandmother's cookie recipes. My first vegan cookbook ever was Vegan Planet; I've gifted many a copy over the years and still default to it for the best ever shepherd's pie. Love her work!

  28. My favorite holiday dish used to be my mom's chicken pot pie, and this year I wanted to try making something similar with seitan. Well, no later than this morning, mom told me she wanted to cook some vegan stuff with me for the holidays. That means that my new favorite holiday dish will be my mom's brand new seitan pot pie! Yay!
