15 Sneaky Foods That May be Hiding Animal Ingredients. They are lurking in places you’d least expect. Just when you think you’re in the clear, sneaky animal ingredients like gelatin, bone char, casein, shellac and carmine find their way into foods where they have absolutely no business being. Bread can contain milk and animal-derived shortening such as butter and lard. A quick glance at the ingredients label should help you identify the sneaky bastards!

Don’t be fooled by these colorful, stretchy candies. Cream gummies obviously contain milk, but even fruit-flavored gummy bears can contain gelatin. This means that they’re not even vegetarian! Gelatin is extracted from the boiled skin, bones, ligaments, tendons, hooves, and cartilage of animals. Shiitake Mushroom French Style Green Beans Recipe. How to Make the Perfect Loaf of French Bread. Wednesday, April 18, 2007 Baking the Perfect Loaf of French Bread Usually, my stand-by recipe is the No Knead Bread (because its so darn easy) but it does require you to mix the dough at least 12 hours prior. When I only have a three hours, this is my recipe which is based on trial-and-error from baking over 40 loaves in the past 8 months. The techniques are a combination of things I learned from Pamela Anderson (no not arm candy, the chef Pam Anderson!) , the original No Knead Recipe published in the NY Times and Rose Levy Beranbaum (author of the Bread Bible) Secret #1: Knead dough with dough hook for 2 minutes.

Secret #2: Pinch! Secret #3: Use a pizza stone, cast iron dutch oven or my favorite Pampered Chef Covered Baker. Secret #4: Steam = thin, crunchy, beautiful crust. -> Pizza stone or baking sheet: Once you put the bread in the oven, throw 1/2 cup of water on the oven floor (electric oven) and immediately close the door. Secret #5: Timing and temperature: How about No Knead Bread?

Golabkis (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls) Oh man, I can’t believe that I forgot to share this recipe with everyone! I know quite a few of my readers got really excited when I posted a preview on my instagram (@veganyackattack), but now, it is finally here. I made these Golabki for a guest post at Vegan Miam, run by the wonderful Rika!

This also works perfectly with Month of Grains theme, because I used some oats in this recipe. See! There are other ways to use oats, rather than oatmeal. But, you really wouldn’t be able to tell anything different from that judging by how many oatmeal recipes that I have on here. Let me tell you a little more about Rika so that you can check out her blog and possibly envy her as much as I do. I’ll leave you with a description of the dish that I made for her blog: I was inspired by Rika’s travels on Vegan Miam to recreate a dish that could transport you right into the heart of Eastern Europe, as this dish has similar variations through Ukraine and other countries.

Kale Market Salad Recipe. There's a small restaurant in our neighborhood known for great pizza. And yes, the pizza is on point. But, really, it's their salads I crave - substantial, always changing, made from whatever looks great at the market.

I'd tell you the name of the place, but scoring a table is already enough of a wait. It's Ragazza. I ordered a ringer of a salad the other night, and have been making a version at home in the days since - kale, farro, lots of avocado, carrots and fennel tossed with a creamy green garlic dressing. It's as good as it sounds. The version I've been making is down below, or you can check out the version Sharon makes with little gem lettuce here (scroll a bit). To prep the fennel and carrots, it's worth using a mandolin if you have one. It has been a bit wild around here and this sort of thing is nice to be able to throw together on somewhat of a whim.

(I know, I’ll just give you a minute for the staggering profundity of that sentence to kick in.) What I mean is, it’s one thing to turn banana bread into a crepe, that crepe into a cake, that cake into a vehicle for walnut butterscotch, drooling, diet-postponing, and seconds, and it’s an entirely other thing to find yourself at the playground at 5:15 p.m. and realize a) you don’t actually have anything in the fridge that you can turn into dinner, b) you, in fact, barely feel like cooking, in fact, your interest in cooking is only a single degree stronger than your desire to order in, so this better be easy, and c) the adjacent farmers market which you have heard from others boasts ramps and asparagus and spinach and other new!

Spring! Delights! In fact, at the tail end of the day, boasts few things aside from a straggler of a single bundle of broccoli rabe. Or, I didn’t before last Wednesday afternoon.
