The Pantry Pocket |
The Pantry Pocket is a small blog inspired by myself and my friends' love for all kinds of food whether its vegetarian, vegan, snacks, desserts, or what have you. we post anything from food we come across, to the food we make or even just what we've heard about. hopefully we'll make a tradition out of featuring local restaurants we love on a regular basis. tell your friends, and enjoy! contributors: christina. chase. |
vegan ramen!
you’ll need:
1 5 oz. package of curly soba
2 cups of broth (I used Better Than Bouillon’s No-Chicken broth)
Seasonings, to taste. (I used salt, pepper, thyme, red pepper flakes, and curry powder)
Dash of tamari
bring the broth to a boil, add the soba and seasonings. cook about 4 minutes until noodles are soft. enjoy!
“Roast beef” style seitan in brown gravy over spiced mashed potatoes and a fried salad with broccoli, onion, snow pea, toasted almonds, and bac’n bits.
Vegan fortune cookies dipped in a ginger glaze.
I love making Chinese food!
Vegan Asian feast from the Wild Cow and BE Hive. I could eat this every day.
boiled cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions and cauliflower with tvp jambalya!
First meal at the new house! Veggie burgers topped with hummus and cayenne on toasted onion buns with a side of spiced sweet potato steak fries.
I love hummus pizza! Italia in East Nashville just can’t be mached!
I tried pressing and “dry-frying” tofu for this stir fry dish because it apparently it’s supposed to taste restaurant quality. It was okay but not close to what I’ve gotten from other places. I may try and cut the slices thinner or press it longer.
Chocolate chip and walnut pancakes with strawberry syrup.
I stopped by Heart and Soy in Louisville the other weekend and got some pad Thai and spring rolls. I think you can order just about anything on the menu to be vegan. Honestly, I was a little let down on the food because Thai Phooket in Nashville has spoiled me but they also sell an assortment of vegan baked goods. I got a large black forest cupcake and it was well worth the $4 I paid for it.
Breakfast cravings brought me to make this awesome meal. Pancakes with strawberry butter, tofu scramble with soysage and spiced hash browns.
Super Spicy Sweet and Sour Knotted Tofu
I finally found knotted tofu at the Asian supermarket in Nashville. Soaked it in a cayenne, hot chili and pineapple juice marinade and fried with green and red peppers and pineapples over rice.
Probably the hottest thing I’ve ever made. My roommate washed the pan I cooked it in and tried to cook potatoes and complained because the hot spices had soaked into the pan.
Chocolate pomegranate brownie bites. So rich.
Mediterranean food madness
The Wild Cow and BE Hive came together about two weeks ago with an awesome vegan Mediterranean style buffet. One of the best they’ve had yet.
