Biscuits are probably my favorite kind of quick bread. I have mentioned before that my grandmother is not one for much cooking, so our biscuits came from the can. As did much of our food. I think that mainly speaks to her 1950’s housewifery. But even for biscuits out of the can, Pillsbury did a [...]

Who knew that Paula Deen’s Southern Brown Rice was not brown rice at all? I must admit that I was immediately suspicious, given the chef. This rice, no matter how white it is, is still flavorful. I think it is a healthier alternative for those heavily seasoned box rices that I lived on at university. [...]

I loved stuffed mushrooms. The recipe that we a vegan-izing from Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible is for Bacon and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms. While I could make or by a vegan bacon, I decided to spare up all and just play up the spinach. For starters, I have replaced the frozen spinach (which I believe [...]

I was never a fan of hot or buffalo wings, more a lemon pepper girl, so it does not even break my heart to demolish this chicken wing recipe. I learned early in my vegan journey that it was the taste of the sauce that most people love, not the meat. Especially kids, they love [...]

Peach Cobbler has always been and will remain one of my favorite southern desserts. I remember our household famous 1-cup cobbler. It was amazing and simple and really sweet. That was our go to dessert for my entire childhood, so I am so excited to vegan-ize the Peach Biscuit Cobbler Recipe from Paula Deen’s Southern [...]

Peach Fritters are fried pancake pies by my definition. For awhile now, I have not been able to peacefully eat fatty fried foods. I usually get sluggish or stomach achy shortly after consumption, not to mention I am gaining weight. But when Paula Deen says fry, you fry! Or at least I will give these [...]

Peanut Soup? I had never heard of it. But it is in the Paula Deen cook book, and since we have to veganize every recipe, why not today. It has been really rainy and gloomy in Atlanta too, so I was craving soup anyway. Serves 6 Vegan Creamy Peanut Soup Recipe Ingredients: 1 tablespoon [...]

Fried Cabbage reminds me of the Sautéed Collard Greens recipe I posted right before the project started. Like Collard Greens, Cabbage is traditionally stewed to death. But Paula calls this new way of cooking greens frying, instead of sautéing. I can only guess it is because of the amount of oil. But, I am excited [...]

Perlow was a dish that I first heard of during my stint in South Carolina. My roommate was from Orangeberg, SC and she always craved Perlow. She said it was nothing special, but rice cooked in Pork juice, basically. I was never enticed enough to try the dish. Paula Deen says in the Southern Cooking [...]
