The Vegan Butcher

A few weeks ago I did a guest post on the food blog of a friend of my Winnipegger cousin. I am posting it on my site as well, because this has become my reference guide for my own recipes. If I don’t post it here I will undoubtedly lose track of it and then where will I be? Recipeless and sad. Are you ready? This is how I would have posted this post. Let’s get on it.

My name is Tracy Butcher and I am vegan. On my website, my Twitter feed and my Facebook page I go by the moniker The Vegan Butcher, but you, my friends, can call me The Vegan. Welcome to my guest post on Mizz Laura’s Comfort Food blog! (more…)

I went over to my darling bestie Jerri’s house the other day. The days are getting shorter, the nights chillier, and the summer is clearly dying. Before it gives its final death rattle we wanted to have one last BBQ hurrah. Jerr Bear had a supply of mini hamburgers and mini buns and was going to make mini sliders.

NEEDLESS TO SAY (but you know I’m gonna say it anyway), I got very jealous. I wanted to have mini burgers too! As I sat there grumping Jerri and I came up with a plan: mushroom sliders! If we couldn’t find vegan mini buns we would make our own with cookie cutters and bread! IT WAS ON! (more…)

I was sitting around one evening last week doing a whole lot of nothing when I was struck by a sudden and unyielding urge to eat a churro. What are churros and when have I been exposed to them in the past? I know you’re dying to know these things. Let’s back this story train up to the last station, shall we? (more…)

Y’all ready for this?!? It’s time for my first posted recipe! These are my favourite cookies of all time and have been since childhood. They have, of course, been altered and veganised, but they still tastes just as good! These bring back a lot of memories… (more…)

…guess I’ll go eat worms! This post is purely for the kids, or anyone else you enjoy tricking and feeding sugar to.

When I was a Girl Guide and in grade 6 (the summer I was 12), I went to a provincial GG camp and it was a Big Deal for kids from Cape Breton. I was driven about 3 hours off the island and got to camp with girls from all over Nova Scotia. I made friends at that camp that I still have today. One of them just got married last weekend. That is frightening because it means I am officially growing up. (NO! You can’t make me!) (more…)
