Ok, I know you’re trying to figure out how on Earth something called Texas Hash would be inspired by Seattle! But it’s true…Texas Hash is one of my Grandma Grace’s recipes that I’ve veganized.

The prompt for today’s VeganMoFo19 is all about getting a hearty breakfast before a day of pounding the pavement in a new city.

I grew up in the 70s. I survived: Real, sharp, lawn darts Riding in the way back of a Ford Pinto without seat belts Running all around the neighborhood with other kids on our bicycles (without helmets) from sun-up to sun-down without adult supervision Shag carpet Pong Black and White TV without a remote…

One of my favorite things to do is to go browse the book sections at thrift stores and antique shops, looking for old cookbooks. I’ve found some fantastic books, even some really old ones, like the White House Cookbook from 1899! These old books are great resources for time-forgotten recipes and ideas. One of my…
