Update: my mistake. vigo rice contains dehydrated chicken. don't know how i missed that the first time around. but i found a carolina yellow saffron rice that was animal and dairy free. the spicy yellow is not vegetarian. but the saffron yellow is vegetarian/vegan. i also learned mahamtma rice is the same as carolina rice. different branding depending on your location. visit their website for more detailed info on ingredients. you can quickly look up the nutritional info and ingredients of any of their products. http://www.carolinarice.com/en-us/products/categories/15/RiceMixes.aspx also go to the mahatma site. http://www.mahatmarice.com/en-us/products/categories/2/RiceMixes.aspx notice how it is the same as the carolina one. one brand for the east coast, the other for the west i would guess. The other day I was browsing amazon for vegan food. Rice mixes in particular because I love flavored rice, but do not love buying lots of expensive spices. What I was really cravi

Hummus Mac and Cheese

-
As I was eating my salad with hummus dressing this afternoon I accidentally discovered yet another awesome way to use hummus. My hummus and salad and some macaroni got all mixed up together with some nutri yeast and vinegar. It was an amazing accident. Hummus is a culinary chameleon! It is a vegan dream. It does so much. Fills so many voids. Mayonnaise, butter, salad dressing, and now mac and cheese. I know it sounds crazy, but it works. I wasn't trying to make this happen. It was just serendipity.

Arugula Sauce

The inspiration for this sauce comes from my love for arugula and its peppery bite. The arugula adds a great deal of depth to what otherwise might be just another run of the mill chili pepper sauce. It also gives it its beautiful green color! Ingredients 1 Cup Arugula 2 Jalapenos 1 Serrano 3 Cloves Garlic 3 Chile de Arbol 2 Cups Water 2 Tbls Hummus 1 Tbl Canola Oil 1 Tsp Dry Thyme 1 Tbl Salt 1 Tsp Black Pepper Instructions In a medium sauce pot sauté the jalapenos, serranoes, garlic, chile de arbol, salt, pepper and thyme in the oil. Get a little bit of color on the peppers and garlic. Allow some brown bits to accumulate in the pot. Then deglaze with the water. Scrape the brown stuff off the bottom and let it simmer and reduce by 1/3.  Stir in the arugula and allow it to wilt for a few minutes.  Remove to a storage container and allow to rest in the fridge overnight.  Next day, remove the chile de arbol and discard. My blender won't puree them. If you have a strong enough blender,
