To many readers excitement or dismay, my half-assed recipes are back.
Though I have fake-a-tarian status, I was craving beef stroganoff for dinner. Luckily I had some of the leftover egg noodles and Boca beef crumbles (a prop for my Sh*t Green People Say satire) and took a trip to Whole Foods. I played off the Vegetarian Casserole Queen’s recipe and made my own half-assed twist.
Here’s what I did:
Disclaimer: I’m not a food blogger nor a food expert. But I do have a newfound love for vegetarian cooking. And promise to relay this recipe as I created it, errors and all.)
So I knew I officially turned old/domesticated/boring at the ripe ol’ age of 28 when my parents gave me 2 casserole dishes for my birthday… And for Christmas I received (after asking for) a 9-cup, Kitchen Aid Food Processor. I was so excited to use it, I processed all 4 veggies in my house on Christmas day!
The rest of my recipe was impromptu, so feel free to experiment on your own for the veggies, cheese & portions. Enjoy!

I snubbed sweet potatoes (or yams as they’re often called) for far too many years of my life. Luckily, over the past few years I’ve become 
acquainted in a big way.

Here are three of my favorite ways to enjoy sweet potatoes:
Hot Cocoa is the perfect Christmas treat in my opinion. It brings me back to my childhood and puts me in a festive mood while I’m wrapping presents (or watching It’s a Wonderful Life for the 50th time.)
This year I decided to put an eco-friendly twist on an old classic by making a vegan version (no animal products used.) It was even better then the original!
Plus, sometimes it’s just soothing to make something from “scratch” rather than use a prepackaged food.
