Party Food!

Summer is here and you know what that means... party time! Heat up those barbeques for some veggie burger madness. It is my goal to have a wine and cheese party at some point this summer with the most amazing cheeses ever, Dr. Cow and Ste Martaen.

Below is a list of some Vegan Miss party food recipes:

• Animal Shaped Chick'n Nuggets
• Baked Crab Rangoon
• BBQ Seitan
• Cheese Sticks
• Coleslaw 
• Eggless Egg Salad
• English Muffin Pizzas
• Fried Pickles  
• Herb Roasted Macadamia Nuts
• Jello Mold
• Mystery Cheese Ball Spread
• Pickled Fried Green Tomatoes
  
• Potato Skins
• Raw Kale Salad
• Salmon Mousse Mold
• Shaved Golden Beet & Mustard Green Salad
• Shrimp Canapes
• Sonoma Chick'n Salad
• Spinach Artichoke Dip
• Stuffed Zucchini Cups
• Stuffed Bacon and Cheese Veggie Burgers
• Tempeh Crab Cakes 
• TSP Burgers

For the burgers and crab cakes, I would make them small in size so they are like sliders.

Looking for some retro cocktails? Check out this book, Highballs High Heels: A Girls Guide to the Art of Cocktails. I have it and it's divine! If you need some fancy, vintage invitations to send out (you know, by snail mail like they used to), you must get them from Fenderskirts Vintage Imagery & Stationary. And, of course, there is always Etsy for all your other needs. xo

Eggless Egg Salad

This was a request from my friend, Pam. It turned out pretty good! I've never had real egg salad (never ever liked eggs before I was vegan), so I don't have much to compare it to. But, I'd say it's awesome! 

Eggless Egg Salad

* Prep Time: 10 minutes

* Ingredients:  

• 3  tbsp onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tbsp dill relish
• 3 tbsp stone ground mustard
• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp agave nectar*
• 1/2 tsp dried dill
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 package medium grade tofu (14 oz.), pressed and drained, mashed*
• 3/4th jar vegan mayonnaise*

* Recipe: 

1. In a bowl, mash the tofu well.
2. Add the onion,celery, parsley, and dried dill to the tofu. Mix well.
3. Next, add the dill relish, mustard, lemon juice, agave, salt, and pepper. Combine well.
4. Lastly, add the mayonnaise. Combine well.

* Note: Agave nectar is a natural sweetener that is used to replace honey. You should be able to find it at your grocery store with the jams and honey. I used medium tofu in this recipe. If you wish, one could try this recipe with soft (not silken) tofu. Let me know how it turns out! I am not sure if it would be too "runny" which is why I opted for medium. For vegan mayonnaise, I prefer Vegenaise. 


Once you combine all the ingredients, if you feel the salad needs a little bit more of one of the ingredients, feel free to add more.
