A few weeks ago, I had a delicious vegetarian buffalo chicken sandwich at The Remedy Diner, one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Raleigh. I thought that it was very tasty and decided to try making my own version at home. The restaurant version used breaded tofu “chicken” patties, but I decided to use seitan, which is made of seasoned wheat protein. It has a very chicken-like texture and no breading to add extra calories. You can find seitan at most health food stores. I also used a buffalo sauce recipe from food.com. The recipe says to only use Frank’s Red Hot sauce in the recipe, but other hot sauces may work as well. Jason and I agreed that this sandwich was extremely tasty and worth sharing here on my blog!Nutritional Information

I’ve been experimenting with meat substitutes lately, so I decided to try making a lasagna with vegetarian ground beef. You can find it in most grocery stores in the produce section along with the tofu and tempeh. We really loved this lasagna and Jason rated it 5 stars! Serve it with something light, like a tasty side salad.
I made these recently and Jason and I agreed that they are the tastiest veggie burgers we’ve ever eaten! The jalapeno glaze really gives them that perfect extra something… The Pickapeppa sauce can be found with the BBQ and Worcestershire sauces at most grocery stores. You can serve them as a standalone dish, or try them on a burger bun with lettuce and tomato. For an extra special summer treat, try serving them with 
These chiles rellenos are very tasty. The Parmesan cheese adds a lot of flavor, while the Montery Jack melts well, which makes a good cheese combination for the filling. Serve them with a side salad or 
My Mom raved to me about these wraps for weeks and I finally got to try them when I went down to visit my parents last weekend. They are very tasty indeed, and also very unique! The recipe has you mash together white beans, avocado and cheese. It goes well with a side salad.
It’s getting close to that time of year when we start thinking about what fabulous dishes we’ll make for Christmas dinner! Of course, when you’re a vegetarian, the traditional turkey with stuffing or holiday ham doesn’t work. So what do you make on a special day like Christmas? This Vegetable Pot Pie should definitely fill the bill. It’s warm and unusually tasty on a cold winter night! As a time saver, look for pre-peeled and cubed butternut squash in the vegetable isle of your grocery store.
Latkes are traditionally eaten during Hanukkah, but they make a tasty dish that will help you celebrate any special occasion! This recipe makes 3 different types of latkes and each type is a different color with a slightly different flavor. I serve them with braised red cabbage in a red-wine cranberry sauce which I hope to post to my blog shortly, as well as a homemade sweet bread.
I had a craving for calzones the other night, so I tried this recipe. It’s based on a calzone recipe that I discovered when I was in college, but I added a homemade, whole wheat crust and homemade marinara sauce.
I had a craving for Mexican last week, so I made this tasty salad. I also made my own 
Jason and I recently visited a nice little restaurant in downtown Cary where I ordered a truly delicious quesadilla. It was made with goat cheese instead of the more traditional Mexican cheeses and it also contained lots of tasty veggies. I liked it enough that I made a mental note to try and recreate it at home. This version tastes great and doesn’t take too much time to make.
