Now I'm not saying my best friend Mandy is an alcoholic, I'm just saying that if she can take any given recipe and add a sufficient amount of booze to it, she's pretty excited. Needless to say, when we were planning her second annual 29th birthday party, and I was the one on dessert duty, I decided to create a batch of these beauties! This Margarita cupcake recipe has a lot going for it. It's completely vegan, has the natural flavor of fresh lime, and uses an entire mini bottle of tequila. It's pretty magical. The garnish, like margaritas themselves, is completely up to you! I put pectin lime gummy slices on top of mine (see picture 2), but I would also recommend trying out course cocktail rim sugar or even bright paper umbrellas! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Vegan Margarita Cupcakes To Make Cupcakes: 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest, freshly grated 1 cup soymilk 1/4 cup canola oil 2 tablespoons tequila 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt To Make Icing: 1/4 cup margarine 1 tablespoon soymilk 3 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon tequila tiny drop green food coloring 2 -2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 1 pinch kosher salt or 1 pinch coarse salt 1.

Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 5. Transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack and cook completely before frosting. 6. To make the icing, blend margarine until soft and fluffy; stir in soy milk, lime juice, tequila and food coloring. Use only the tiniest bit of food coloring. 7. Sift in 2 cups confectioners sugar and blend until smooth and creamy. Add additional confectioner sugar if the icing appears too liquidy. Refrigerate until ready to use. 8.

Meatless Monday Recipe: Chipotle Black Bean Tortilla Soup
One full week into June means that we're well on our way to Summer! But I'll be honest - the weather has been a little bit strange here in San Diego. With Tropical Storm Blanca coming up from Mexico, the month so far has been unexpectedly cool and overcast - a bit dissuading for those of us who want to reach for our flip-flops and head to the beach! However, the wonky weather of Southern California's late Spring and early Summer always has me looking to make some unconventional soups. For example, I might go for some matzoh ball soup with a side of sauerkraut pirogi or sprinkle some Follow Your Heart cheddar shreds on a hearty potato soup. But perhaps my favorite soup for this weather is a bean-based tortilla soup garnished with a couple corn tortilla chips for an added crunch, so I can enjoy the flavors of summer while beating that untimely chill! Try this recipe with a number of different garnishes. Top it with a dollap of Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream or chop up some fresh slices of avocado.

Low-Fat Spinach Lasagna with Roasted Cauliflower Ricotta & Spinach
Who said that being vegan means you have to skip out on your favorite Italian? This lasagna recipe is not only highly customizable (I sauteed some mushrooms and added them right under the spinach in mine!), but the handful of olives across the top gives this dish the right amount of salty kick without kicking up the amount of sodium in a serving. One serving of this lasagna (1/6 of the recipe) is only 300 calories, but switch that standard pasta out for something whole wheat, and you've got the ultimate diet recipe! --------------------------------------------------- Lasagna with Roasted Cauliflower Ricotta & Spinach To Make Ricotta: 1 medium-size head cauliflower (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pound extra-firm tofu 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Several pinches of freshly ground black pepper For the Red Sauce: One (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes with basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt To Assemble: 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken in half, cooked in salted water 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach 1/4 cup chopped black olives 1. First, we’ll roast the cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; that way the cauliflower won’t stick. Place the cauliflower on the sheet and drizzle the oil over it. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Toss it with your hands to make sure everything is salted. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes, then flip it with a spatula. You don’t have to flip each and every one, so don’t get OCD about it. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned, tender, and toasty. 2. In the meantime, crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mash the tofu, squeezing it between your fingers, until it has the consistency of ricotta cheese. Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, pepper, and remaining salt. Use a fork to mix well. 3. When the cauliflower is done, transfer it to the mixing bowl with the tofu mixture. Use a potato masher to mash it really well, for a minute or so. If it doesn’t seem to be mashing enough with the potato masher, a few pulses in the food processor should get it nice and crumbly. Set aside. 4. To prepare the sauce, mix all its ingredients together and set aside. 5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour a thin layer of red sauce on the bottom of an 8-inch square casserole. Line with a layer of noodles. Spread with one-third of the cauliflower ricotta. Layer with 3/4 cup of spinach leaves. Pour on about a cup of sauce. 6. Repeat the process one more time, creating another identical layer, starting with the noodles. For the top layer it’s just a little different: Layer with noodles, pour the sauce on first, then layer with ricotta. This layer doesn’t get any spinach. Sprinkle with a layer of olives and press it into the the tofu. 7. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is browned. Let it cool down before serving.
Meatless Monday Recipe: Vegan Olive & Mushroom Stromboli
Stromboli is one of those foods you can't really find all too often here on the West Coast, and yet it is also one of the foods I tend to find myself craving the most when I'm getting a little too nostalgic for my East Coast upbringing. I remember my father had a friend named George who would so often come to our house with large loaves of stromboli to share. My mother, as she was a dietician, seriously hated how often he did that because while stromboli is delicious, it is certainly not something you should let your children eat every single day! (It's essentially a baguette-length calzone, traditionally filled with meats and a whole lot of gooey mozzarella.) I wish I had this recipe for vegan stromboli back then. I feel like my mother would have found it to be the perfect compromise between the stromboli concept and her habit for keeping good nutrition in mind. Unlike traditional stromboli, it is completely cholesterol free and kicks out all the ham and pepperoni for an equally savory vegetarian filling. With that being said, you could easily add your own vegan pepperoni to this. Yves makes a great pepperoni that would work well in this. Also, Tofurkey deli slices or Veggie Garden meatballs would probably make a fun alternative filling too! Either way, this is a recipe your children are going to love, and you can honestly feel good about making. Vegan Olive & Mushroom Stromboli (Makes 1 loaf) INGREDIENTS: To Make the Dough - 1 cup warm water 1 7-gram package (or 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more to coat the dough and bowl 1 tablespoon agave nectar Healthy pinch of salt 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the work surface For the Filling - 1 tablespoon cornmeal 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced Another healthy pinch of salt Black pepper to taste 1/4 cup kalamata or black olives, sliced 1 cup marinara sauce 1 cup Daiya mozzarella shreds (Follow Your Heart Mozzarella works well too.) 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons vegan parmesan-style topping, divided 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon plain soymilk (as an egg wash) 2 tablespoon fresh parsley Extra marinara sauce for dipping DIRECTIONS: 1) Preheat oven to 475 F. If you have a pizza stone, heat it with the oven. 2) To make the dough, combine water, yeast, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, agave nectar, and salt into a bowl. Gently mix it all together and let it sit for 5 minutes, until it starts to froth. This ensures the yeast is active and has not expired. 3) Add 2 cups of the flour and mix it up. You can do this by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook. Continue to slowly add the rest of the flour until you have a slightly sticky ball. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. (This will take about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes on medium speed with a stand mixer.) After kneading, form it into a ball. 4) Coat a large bowl with olive oil. (The dough is going to double in size, so make sure the bowl is big enough.) Also coat the dough in olive oil. Put the dough in the bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and stash it someplace warm for 90 minutes for its first rise. 5) After the first rise, give the dough a couple of light, open-handed slaps to make it collapse so that it's flattened out. Then let it rise for 40 more minutes. Now your dough is ready to use and is the equivalent of 1 pound of store-bought dough. [Note: If you have a favorite store-bought pizza dough that you would prefer to use instead of making your own, make sure it is a pound's worth. Also, start your recipe from this point once you have preheated your oven to the above temperature.] 6) First, you want to begin by lightly dusting your work surface with cornmeal. Then, roll out pizza dough into a 10-by-14 rectangle. 7) In a skillet over medium heat, warm up some olive oil. Add your mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are softened and have released some of their liquid, about 5 minutes later. Remove from heat and stir in the olives. 8) Spread your marinara sauce evenly across the bottom 3/4 of the pizza dough, leaving margins of approximately 1 - 2 inches on the other 3 sides. Sprinkle both cheeses, onion powder, and garlic powder evenly on top of sauce, reserving 2 tablespoons of the parmesan topping. Next, spread the mushrooms and olives over sauce and cheese. 9) Starting at the long edge on the bottom, roll the dough as tightly as you can into a log. Pinch and fold the two ends and the seam to seal. With the seam side down, lightly brush the rolled up dough with the tablespoon of soymilk. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan topping. 10) Using a sharp knife, cut 3 or 4 slits in the dough. This will prevent your log of deliciousness from ending up as an exploded log of non-deliciousness in your oven. Transfer to preheated oven and cook 10-12 minutes, until top is golden-brown. Remove and sprinkle with parsley. 11) Cool 5 minutes, slice, and serve with extra marinara.

Meatless Monday Recipe: Quick & Easy Pad Thai Spring Rolls
Making pad thai at home is deceptively easy, but making spring rolls is ridiculously fun! Combine both, and you have the pad thai tofu spring rolls below - a quick and creative meal you'll definitely find yourself making more than once. You should be able to find spring roll paper, tamarind, and chili garlic sauce in the ethnic food aisle of your local supermarket and most Asian grocers. 10-Ingredient Pad Thai Spring Rolls (Adapted From Minimalist Baker) MAKES 8 ROLLS INGREDIENTS: For The Spring Rolls - 14 ounces extra firm tofu 8 ounces white or brown rice noodles 8 - 10 white or brown rice spring roll papers 2 cups thinly sliced carrots 1 large handful fresh cilantro For The Sauce - 3 tablespoons tamarind concentrate 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce + more for tofu 3 - 4 tablespoons coconut sugar, agave, or maple syrup 1/2 lime, juiced 1 - 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce + more for tofu For Serving (Optional) - Peanut sauce (Check out my Vegan DIY: Thai Peanut Sauce recipe card.) Sriracha Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap tofu in a clean towel. Set something heavy on top - such as a cast iron pan - to press out liquid for 15 minutes. Then cut into 1/2-inch wide rectangular strips. 2) Arrange tofu on the baking sheet, giving each piece some space so it can firm up. Bake for 28 - 30 minutes to dry and firm the tofu. For softer tofu, bake for 20 minutes. For firmer, bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Set aside. In the meantime, prep carrots, cilantro, and cook rice noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside. 3) To make the sauce, add tamarind, tamari, coconut sugar, lime and chili garlic sauce to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once it begins bubbling, lower heat to low and cook for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring frequently.Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more tamari or soy sauce for saltiness, chili garlic for heat, coconut sugar, agave, or maple syrup for sweetness, or lime for acidity. Remove from heat and set aside. 4) Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add baked tofu and 1 teaspoon each chili garlic sauce and tamari or soy sauce, plus 1 tablespoon of the Pad Thai sauce. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 1 - 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. 5) Add cooked noodles to the still-hot pan over medium heat and add remaining Pad Thai sauce. Use tongs to disperse sauce and toss noodles. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside. 6) Assemble a station for preparing the spring rolls with a shallow bowl or plate (for dunking the rice paper), bring a kettle or pot of water to a boil (to cook the rice paper with), and a clean work surface (such as a large cutting board). Gather all ingredients and add hot water to the shallow bowl or pan. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes, then add 1 rice paper at a time and cook/soften for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Lift and let excess water drip off, then transfer to your clean work surface. 7) Top with pad thai noodles, tofu, carrots and cilantro, then roll over once, tuck in sides, and continue rolling all the way up. Place seam-side down on a serving plate or baking sheet and cover with a damp, room temperature towel to keep fresh. Continue until all spring rolls are prepared - about 8. 8) Serve as is with a bit more chili garlic sauce or sriracha! Another great addition is the aforementioned peanut sauce posted above. Best when fresh, though leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
