Cheesecake is a Privilege, Not a Right
Do any of you parents have wrestlers? While I’m pretty sure I’ll pack on an extra fifty pounds before this cookbook is done, I feel super-sorry for The Dude. He’s borderline for his weight bracket and Mr. Wright (former state wrestler) has been training The Dude hard and serving as the food police. So sad… … Read more

Sexy Vegan Mama was getting a bit big for her britches over here – and I don’t mean she was packing on pounds from all the desserts over the holidays. Even if she was, it’s really not my place to point out her widening rear end. *ahem* No… What I mean is she’s outgrown her … Read more

Chocolate crinkle cookies are a childhood favorite of mine, and I hadn’t had them in years so I set out to create a vegan recipe I could make and share with my friends.

Sexy Vegan Mama: Frangelico Shortbread Cookies
Last Christmas, I gave you my hearts… As the mother of seven kids, I tend to adopt the philosophy that just about anything can be helped or made better by a shot or two of booze. That’s why I created this veganized, booze-ified shortbread alternative. I’ve been terrified of shortbread ever since that unfortunate communion … Read more
Sexy Vegan Mama: Amaretto Sugar Cookies
For all Mr. Wright’s crazy mad skills, one thing he is not is a baker. Perhaps that’s why, when he used the last of my vanilla extract making pancakes Sunday morning, he didn’t put “Run to store immediately to buy more vanilla before Mama tries to bake something and turns into a vegan Betty Crocker … Read more
Let’s Get Ready to RUM BALL! Recipe: Sexy Vegan Mama’s Rum Balls
I’m heading over to Spokane for a book signing tomorrow. The event has promised not only my stellar wit and dramatics, but also cookies. Now, cookies are all well and good, but I find if I’m desperate for a good turnout, the promise of booze is much more effective than my sparkling personality. That’s why … Read more
Sexy Vegan Mama: Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
My family loves cinnamon rolls, but I think they’re sort of… *yawn.* When I was shopping for ingredients for my pumpkin pie, I picked up a 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie filling instead of a 15-ounce can, like the recipe called for, because it was cheaper. I figured I’d think of something to do with the … Read more
Sexy Vegan Mama: No-Tofu Pumpkin Pie
Around October of each year, I begin developing a strong, intense craving for pumpkin pie, and it doesn’t subside until I break down and actually buy silken tofu (which I rarely use) sometime in November and find a recipe for pumpkin pie. This year, I was determined to find a recipe that didn’t call for … Read more

Sexy Vegan Mama: Perfect Pie Crust
It’s a learned skill, making the perfect pie crust, but it’s really the key to making perfect pie. I learned the basics by watching my mom in her kitchen, and developed my vegan baking skills later as a young adult, working in her bakery. It’s not as hard as you might think to turn out … Read more

It’s a Vegan Thanksgiving, Sexy Mama! Recipe: Apple Almond Stuffing (or Dressing)
While everyone is carrying out the “stuffing” vs. “dressing” debate (click over to participate in the poll and make your preference known!), I’ll state for the record we call it “stuffing” in our house, even though it’s not shoved into a bird’s butt. I happen to think it refers to the manner in which it … Read more
It’s a Vegan Thanksgiving, Sexy Mama! Recipe: Roasted Garlic & Basil Mashed Yams
This recipe is part of my VeganMoFo posting. I know what those Skinny Bitches say about olive oil… They say don’t use it. They say to use coconut oil, instead. For the record, I’m not a skinny bitch, a doctor, a dietitian or even a nurse. I’ve taken a few vegetarian nutrition courses, studied vegan nutrition independently, … Read more
I’ve Been a Lazy VeganMoFo
My beloved mighty, mighty Goats were ousted from playoff action yesterday. I don’t wanna talk about it. Let’s talk about VeganMoFo, instead. What is VeganMoFo? It’s a celebration and collaboration of vegan bloggers, who celebrate Vegan Month of Food (VeganMoFo) by blogging and writing about vegan food – making it, eating it, discovering it, remembering … Read more
It’s a Vegan Thanksgiving, Sexy Mama! Recipe: Oat, Seed & Vegetable Loaf
Always late to the party… I’m just getting my VeganMoFo on, but I’m doing it with gusto. I think it pretty much goes without saying I won’t be shoving my dressing-filled hands into the butt of a dead turkey this year. Or any other year, for that matter. So, what does a sexy vegan mama … Read more

Sexy Vegan Mama: Chai Balsamic Pasta Salad and No-Rise Tomato Herb Bread
Let me apologize for the poor photo quality, folks. My digital camera was stolen (stolen!), and I’ve resorted to taking photos with my kids’ crappy cell phone camera because I’m rockin’ an old-school Blackberry World, which doesn’t have a camera.Feel free to send me gifts of new cameras, or pass the word on to the … Read more
