Vegan diablos

Vegan diablos: handmade corn tostadas topped with "scrambled tofu," seitan chorizo, beans, rice, and chipotle sauce. From the Handlebar in Chicago. My only peeve: cubed tofu does not = scrambled tofu, no?

tofu scramble, homefries, banana nut pancakes

North American brunch in Argentina, homestyle:
- Tofu scramble with tomatoes, basil, and sweet red pepper
- Homefries with mushrooms and peppers
- Banana nut pancakes (sauce pictured, pancakes not)


Plus juices, fruit salad, buena onda...

ethiopian brunch

The brunch combo from M&B Yummy vegetarian Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto. Clockwise from the top:
- Ful: fava beans served with tomatoes, onions, and green chili
- Injera and "beef" stew
- Butucha: vegan scrambled "eggs" made from chickpea flour
- Kita fir fir: bread fried with vegan butter and spices
- Kinche: sweet cracked wheat
And all of this for one person, allegedly!

Coconut Pancakes with Pineapple Sauce

From Vegan With a Vengeance.

sweet potato hash & veggie chorizo

Brunchtime: sweet potato hash with red onions, garlic, chives, and green chilies, alongside veggie chorizo from Twin Oaks Community Foods (yay coops!). The chorizo is amazing - chewy and bursting with flavor.

I can't get enough brunch!

Tofu scramble (tofu, spices, mushrooms, onions, garlic, bell peppers, roasted poblano peppers), spicy pinto beans with cumin, homemade corn muffins with Earth Balance margarine. And the requisite juice and coffee, of course.
