Vintage Chop O Matic Infomercial


1950's Chop O' Matic




One of my favorite tools is this awesome 1950s Chop O Matic that I found for a $1 at a thrift store.  I love the design and I love the way it chops my onions.

Idea! Veggie Burger "Meatballs"




Spaghetti with "Meatballs"



I found this awesome vintage Aladdin thermos at Savers for a buck!  Perfect for hot lunches.

I had a great idea yesterday.  I took my favorite veggie burger recipe and instead of shaping patties, I shaped little meatballs.  I browned them in olive oil and then added them to spaghetti sauce and had a huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs.  Yum.

I'm thinking meatball sandwich next . . . . .

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

I've been trying to find a quick peanut butter smoothie, without bananas, that I could make from ingredients I almost always have on hand.  After some experimentation I came up with this baby.  I'm not too careful with my chocolate, but if you are more careful, use vegan chocolate powder.

Mini Veggie Burgers and Tofunaise

I am in love with this veggie burger.  So far I have had it with guacamole and tofunaise, lettuce, and tomato.  Divine.  And, I have a lot more plans for this veggie burger . . . . 

I halved the recipe and made these into 8 mini burgers using Father Sam's mini whole wheat pita pockets as buns.

But first a recipe for tofunaise, a very important condiment for my vegan lunchbox.
