Miss Rachel’s Pantry: Make It Vegan – Cheesy Dip (Velveegan!)

Velveegan! When I dip, you dip, we dip. Thanks to Taylor who submitted Velveeta-ish cheesy dip as her suggestion for the Make It Vegan segment of my blog. It’s like the suggestion was meant to be since I had been thinking about cheesy dip already that day (I mean, when do I not think about that sort...

Miss Rachel’s Pantry: Another One of My Favorite Things

The takoyaki – little crepe balls filled with yummy things – at Maru Global can be made vegan!  We got some Maru Global takeout not too long ago, and I think their takoyaki makes the perfect dinner when you want to try a lot of different things and are kind of tired of the same...

Miss Rachel’s Pantry: My Favorite Things

About six months back, I did a post on a vegetarian restaurant called Thoreau. While Thoreau is no longer in existence, the owner’s original spot, Blue Sage, is alive, well, and amazing. Blue Sage was a saving grace for me as a teenager. As a vegetarian in the Philadelphia suburbs, there weren’t many options around. When Blue Sage...

How to Bake Potatoes in a Microwave, So they Turn out Great!

I was in the store the other day and was thinking about baked potatoes.  There is nothing like a baked potato! I like them wrapped in foil off the grill or baked for a long time in the oven.  I generally don’t like them cooked in the microwave.  It seems they never come out...

The other night was no different than any other. After a long day at work and a long drive home on the turnpike, I did not want to make dinner. To add to that, my son had a friend over. So the answer was obvious. Order pizza! My wife was not only feeling hungry...

Quick Suggestion: Ice Coffee that is NOT Watered Down!

A few years back I was in a fancy restaurant and I ordered an iced coffee!  It was delicious and I noticed that it was like drinking coffee, straight coffee.  It was cold, but not watered down!  I then looked more closely and the ice cubes were dark in color!  They, too were made...
