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:
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
This idea was stolen from Marla over at the Vegan Feminist Agitator (who also runs Chicago VeganMania [free vegan festival] which everyone in Chicagoland should go to on November 5th, 10-5pm, Pulaski Park Fieldhouse). She tagged me in a photo of the mummy pizzas she made last year as I love me some cute looking vegan food. I decided to recreate them for a kid-friendly Halloween post. They're very simple, yet tasty, to make! The serving here is just for one English muffin (which makes two mummy pizzas). Replicate the instructions per English muffin to make more.
Mummy Pizzas
* Prep Time: 5 minutes
* Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
* Ingredients:
- 1 English muffin, split in half
- 6 tsp pasta sauce
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 8-10 thin slices vegan mozzarella*
- 1 Kalamata olive, sliced
* Recipe:
- Spread 3 tsp of pasta sauce over each inside part of the English muffin. Add half the Italian seasoning on each and evenly spread.
- Layer the vegan mozzarella in "mummy-like" fashion. Leave spots peaking out where one can see the pasta sauce.
- For "eyes", use sliced Kalamata olives.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees, then broil on high for another 30-60 seconds to get the cheese to melt thoroughly.
* Note: For vegan mozzarella, I used Follow Your Heart because it is in a block shape and it was easiest to make strips for "mummy wrapping". If your kids don't like olives, one could get some vegan pepperoni and cut holes in the middle of the slices for eyes.
One of the Vegan Miss Facebook fans asked me to post a kid-friendly healthier recipe. This is pretty basic, but replacing pizza dough with English muffins is a nice health switch-a-roo. I used whole wheat muffins to up the health factor ante. To make it more adult-like, one could replace the pasta sauce for vegan pesto or an exotic oil (porcini mushroom oil with added spices is divine).
English Muffin Pizzas
* Prep Time: 5 minutes
* Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
* Ingredients:
- 8 tbsp pasta sauce*
- 4 tbsp Daiya mozzarella cheese*
- 2 tbsp vegan Parmesan*
- 2 English muffins, split in half
* Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Put two tablespoons of pasta sauce on each piece of English muffin.
- Top with half a tablespoon of Parmesan on each piece of English muffin and then one tablespoon Daiya.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the Daiya is golden brown.
* Note: I used organic mushroom pasta sauce. Pick whatever you fancy in a sauce! Daiya is found in most health food stores nowadays. For vegan Parmesan, I prefer Galaxy brand. Make sure your English muffins are vegan!
