Bookmarked Recipe: Bacon-Topped Mac Uncheese (Veganize It!)

Hi everyone! During last year’s Vegan MoFo, Susan of Kittens Gone Lentil did a recipe round-up from Veganize It! by Robin Robertson. When I saw the bacon-topped mac uncheese, I knew I’d have to make it! So I borrowed the cookbook from the library (after paging through it, I think I’m going to have to buy a copy for myself; there are so many additional recipes that I’d love to try) and made the mac uncheese for lunch today, using Lightlife vegan bacon to keep it simple. The sauce is so, so good; I’ll definitely make this recipe again soon, but until then, I have some leftovers to enjoy! 

Here’s Leela stopping by to say hello! 

Peace. :)

Parsnip Bacon

Hi everyone! This week I tried a new vegan bacon recipe, inspired by the parsnip bacon post on Lisa’s Project: Vegan. I used canola oil instead of sunflower oil, and liquid smoke and a sprinkling of salt instead of smoked salt. 

The parsnip bacon had a very nice crunch to it, and even though it mostly tasted like a parsnip chip to me, I still really enjoyed it in a bagel BLT (I also crumbled up some of the leftovers and added them like bacon bits to a salad, which was pretty good, too).
