Vegan Lemon-Thyme Braised Short Ribs + Tangelo Saffron Scallops
Lemon-Thyme Agave Braised Vegan Short Ribs + Seared Tofu Scallops with Mineola Tangelo Saffron Sauce
Sweet Sally Sassafras, I have been cooking up a storm lately. Let me impress upon you that the typical amount of time I spend in my kitchen already far exceeds normal. No, I do not own a dishwasher. Yes, my hands are softer than a baby's behind that smells consistently of garlic. An avid home cook really cannot do wrong by indulging in fine moisturizers, liniments & oils.
On the downside, I have finally concluded that my POS oven is inadequate in every way. I have given it many chances. When I want to boil, it burns. When I want to simmer, it shuts off. When I want to roast, it chars. Enough is enough. I am breaking open my Carrot Bank (vegans can't have Piggy Banks, right?), and splurging on something I deserve. I have intimate nighttime visions of me growing hot and sweaty as I show this beast who's boss:
Unfortunately, my credit card limit tells me I'll just have to keep my pants on for now. I will have to settle for the hand-holding, schoolyard puppy love oven of my day dreams, which I believe will be satisfying in it's own sweet way:
This little beauty performs every function I could possibly desire. It even has a "Chicken Nugget" button, which means I will immediately buy some Vegan Nugs to make a bold statement.I had to remove this week's recipes. You can find them in my Cookbook. I left the photos here to entice you...

ps - i'm so bummer i can't get the caesar salad recipe anymore. boohoo. i should have printed it!
The vegan surf & turf looks tempting! I'm holding out for vegan Brie and vegan pain au chocolat, though... ;)
The short ribs, tofu scallops, and french toast all look amazing - perfectly perfect!
(i keep staring at the tofu scallops, that is a trip!)
And a chicken nugget button on the oven?! Please tell me America hasn't come to that...
The new oven will be a dream come true, trust me. I nearly had a heart attack of bliss the first time I baked tofu in the oven I get to use this year. Good ovens are the jam!
By the way, I thought about you the other day...I don't know if you ever read my comments about your book, but I found jackfruit in my new grocery store last week! Very exciting!
Your food looks incredible, as always! Turf never looked so good.
I love the surf and turf. Yum!
Those Vegan short ribs look so incredibly tender and Yummy, and Vega scallops what a neat idea, the sauce sounds so yummy!! You always come up with the most interesting things to Veganize.
