A bit of Back Burner Marinara was thickened in a separate pot with a little Instant Mashed Potatoes.
Cook Rigatoni, slightly overcooked, and rinse/cool. Cut Rigatoni in half (or leave intact) and stuff with Super Ⓥausage.
Clobber your (Ⓥ) Pizza Dough or Crust with thickened Back Burner Marinara. Weight that Pizza Sauce down with generous amounts of Capers. Excellent Sauce tends to want to float up to where its level of greatness actually is:)
Daiya needs to be a word already so my Mac doesn’t continue to try to correct the spelling. Daiya slices to contribute weight upon the Sauce. Stuffed Rigatoni is the next density to trap the ingredients together. Unfortunately, plant murder is my lifestyle. And after enough heat, the Sauce will not try and escape anymore.
Splash with more Back Burner Marinara after baking. Enjoy a Good Beer and have a great day!

Seitanish Ⓥeef & kraut Pi
Happy Sunday, y’all. Yet another spin Ⓥegan spin on “corned beef and cabbage” was on the agenda today. In commemoration of a recent Pi Day, let’s take this Irish cow murder staple and adapt into a plant-based pizza pie. But, first, how’s about a heavily headwind induced mixed surface bike hike with a couple of refreshing Beers.
I am a Potato addict.
A literal Spud Web ever expanding and ever spudful is my life. This adaptation was made oil-free with Veggie Broth, Garlic, Plum, Thyme, Sugar, Sea Salt, Pepper, purple and white baby Potatoes, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Seitan and faux chicken – Cheican? The plant-based protein does start to basically shred after a little while. Ⓥ-Thou Island is simply Vegenaise, Cucumber, Red Pepper, Scallions, Garlic Powder, Pepper and Cayenne mixed together all wonderful like. The pizza pie was Whole Wheat crust, Ⓥ-Thou Island, baby Potatoes, Seitan & Cheican. The Pi was baked, slightly, before adding Daiya and slightly baking more. Sauerkraut garnished this comforting Ⓥegan delight.
Jamo Tofurked Corno Cabbo
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
To some, it means eating corned beef and drinking green bud light. Which might be fun, but that does not fit my lifestyle whatsoever. I am an extremely stubborn person and I do what I want and what feels good to me. I will never eat meat, of any kind, ever again in my life. Now, minor dairy and egg exceptions will be made by me when it feels right to me. Label me as a bad person, but I will never purchase cheese, dairy or eggs. I will not stress about small amounts of these ingredients already in something.
The stress and letdown is not worth it in my mind. My boss made blueberry muffins for me and I do not care what was in them, I ate two. That shows respect and also ease of mind. And they were delicious. Yeah, she could’ve put just blueberries in a cupcake wrap and given me that… Anyways, 97-98% Vegan is great, in my book.
Let’s try something different….
Jamo Tofurked Corno Cabbo
Open a beverage and also open your mind. Heat a saucepan and add slight Avocado Oil. Brown Minced Garlic and continue adding Plum, Serrano Pepper, Carrot and Celery – diced. Generously add Jameson Irish Whiskey. It is absolutely essential, whenever cooking with alcohol, to sip on it a tad.
Add Veggie Broth with Thyme, Capers, purple Potatoes and Onion. Let the cook down process happen. Add Cabbage. And I added Tofurky lately last. Seasonings used were Sea Salt & Pepper. Served on a toasted Pretzel Bun with Corn and a purple Potato.
SⓋanish Rice
Originally, a simple Spanish Rice concept was created ultimately delicious, but consisting of too much oil. In the last few years, I’ve depleted my oil intake drastically.
Unfortunately, I used the last of my Back Burner Marinara on the oiled version, but it was extremely edible. We won’t get into it any further.
I softly cooked Jasmine and Brown Rice with Carrots, Onion and Potato before roasting/broiling Lightlife ‘beef’ pinches, Garlic and Rice on parchment paper. In a pot, Veggie Broth was brought to a strong simmer with GarlicPowder/OnionPowder/Pepper/ CrushedRedPepper/SeaSalt, a Corn Blend (Corn, Beans, Onion, Peppers) and Salsa Verde. Very delicious and better edible, if you ask me. Not to mention the health perks compared to a Rice with Oil. Pictures were taken, Beers were drunk and a bicycle ride was had. How can you make your food healthier? How can you make yourself healthier? Will you be happier if you’re healthier?
Happy Healthy Hump Day
Avocado Cucumber Rigate
Spontaneity can make for awesome food and can also make for great rides. Partaking in both in the same day is my continuous goal, day-in and day-out. VeggHead BeerCyclist is all for hydration, but recommends good Beer and cold water to help overcome any muddy paths, colder temperatures or longer rides. And then there’s food. I bought a jar of pesto the other day. Going to prepare Pasta last night, I noticed some ingredients in the pesto that I did not wish to consume. A Mexican-American Pasta masterpiece was discovered instead.
In light Olive Oil, chopped Garlic and Shallots were browned in a pan. Chopped Jalapeños were added with Lime Juice, Lemongrass and Tofurky ‘chorizo’.
Later, Almond Milk was added with (cooked) Beans, Sea Salt and Pepper. Penne Rigate was cooked al dente and strained without rinsing to be added to my sauce. The Noodles finished cooking and absorbed outstanding flavor in the sauce before adding chopped Cucumber, Cilantro, Guacamole and Tofutti’s Better Than Cream Cheese. Basil was my garnishment.
This Pasta truly hit the spot. Now to further contemplate my Gran Fondo today. Have a great day!

Build Nothing Out Of Something
Best Speech You Will Ever Hear
Aldi Veggie Patties
Aldi has always impressed me with their prices and their quality. I have finally tried their Veggie Patties and I need to talk about them. They have two versions. One is advertised as Vegan on the package. The other is also Vegan according to the ingredients, but a Black Bean Chipotle burger with the additive, Cellulose Gum.
Other than that one additive, the ingredients are stated to be mostly Organic and Wholesome. These patties were baked in the oven. I noticed the quality of these patties immediately while placing them on my parchment paper. The Black Bean Chipotle burgers were a bit more flavorful, but not as healthy as the other Veggie burger. It is a funny game with the different levels of “healthy” foods. Both of these Patties are given two thumbs up and I am sold. At only $2.49 per four patties, with their quality and deliciousness, these are a no-brainer. I’ve been eating the Vegan Boca burgers for years now. They are delicious, but more expensive and with more additives. Methylcellulose, Caramel Color, Artificial Flavors, Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate do not sound appetizing and quite frankly is BULLSHIT to be added to food. Boca burgers are usually $3 + and basically a joke, if you ask me. (someone asked me, but it was myself:)
That’s one thing I have learned immediately after choosing the Vegetarian Lifestyle off was that the quicker easier non-meat options are filled with SHIT additives. I, as well as many of you, do not always have time to prepare wholesome food. This Aldi discovery is Euphoric. Not to mention, Aldi doing away with pesticides. I’m a bigger fan of Aldi, now, than I ever have been before.
More Wholesome food at a lower price, Aldi is attempting to change the world for the better with their own hands. THANK YOU.
