Awkward Food Photos: Seitan

Oh heavens! What horror is this? A delicious batch of simmered seitan, straight from that must have cookbook Vegan With a Vengeance. But the flash! The brownness! The lack of any color whatsoever. The 50 year old Revere Ware (for life, baby) instead of a Fancy Pot from Fancy Store.

This photo needs help!

Look at that! Just throw on some random filter you find in your Photoshop and now it looks like a fun pot o' good times. Hell yeah!

I'll be here every Tuesday with more Awkward Food Photos.

Mofo Monday: Food I Eat

Mondays are reserved for random food I make and eat. These are a baked seitan burger that I tested for Joni over at Just the Food. I make these a lot but since acquiring a metric tonne of Daiya I decided to use her original suggestion with these and stuff them. The first picture shows the burger mixture being divided into top and bottoms and getting a sprinkle of Daiya in between.

And here is the finished product, covered with the amazing Bar B Cutie sauce and a side of sauteed kale and carrots. Served up on 50/50 burger buns from American Vegan Kitchen. The buns will make a few appearances this month.



A side note for the day: The good man at I-40 Vegan has posted a picture of the scalloped corn and okra casserole I blogged about last week. Get your okra on, my friends. Also, send some of those rolls he made for today. They look fab.
