It’s the first day of Vegan MoFo, and I’m making it in just under the wire. I promise I won’t procrastinate like this the rest of the month, if you promise not to actually hold me to that.
My post today is brief, mostly because I’m tired (I just got home). Nonetheless, this is Vegan Month of FOOD, so let’s get to the goods, shall we?
Last night I made another tester for Isa’s upcoming weight loss cookbook (expect a lot more posts about testers for this book in the coming month). Probably one of my favorite meals to date – once the book comes out and you make it, you’ll see why. Easy and full of flavor, it was worth the time I spent tracking down the delicata squashes, which seemed to be impossible to find for a while. I was actually about to settle for butternut yesterday, stopped to buy one at a store I don’t usually shop at on the way home from the gym, and what do I find? Delicatas! How fortuitous.
Lettuce Wraps with Hoisin Mustard Tofu
If just reading “Lettuce Wraps with Hoisin Mustard Tofu” doesn’t make you drool, then you’re either a robot, or dead.
Unfried Fried Rice
You read that right. Fried rice, that isn’t fried. Impossibly good.
5 Spice Delicata Squash
Oh yes, the elusive delicata. Roasted to perfection with Chinese 5 spice and maple syrup.
Are you drooling yet, robot zombies?

That tofu looks lush. I am so excited for this cookbook.
I’m drooling! That tofu doesn’t look like it could be healthy!
Yum! I’ve never had delicata, but it looks great! is the rice baked?
Hollar on the unfried rice! I make it all the time, its a Dr. McDougall fav recipe, sounds like Isa’s new cookbook is going to be a hit!
Hoisin Mustard Tofu!?!? That looks AMAZING! I really need to make this.
wow that hoisin mustard tofu is a great idea. My hubz loves hoisin i will have to attempt to make it sometime soon
Gotta say, it does look delicious, but I’m really curious to know how fried rice can be un-fried.
I’m drooling, so I guess I am not a robot zombie. I can’t wait for that book to come out. All of the tester pics I have seen so far look delicious!
oooooh, you’re got me wanting some lettuce wraps AND delicate squash awesomeness! delicata squash is my absolute favorite squash – so buttery, so delicious, soooooo mmmmmmmmmmm! hooray for vegan mofo!

Oh my those look great. I have them on my to do list. Your pictures are gorgeous.
