Lasagna fresh out of the oven, which slice are you taking? I’m a 9 man, myself...clearly. Tomorrow, definitely an 8. Or 7 and 8. What? Don’t lasagna shame me. If you could taste it you’d take an 8 tomorrow too! #veganlasagna (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIylQt_pJdP/?igshid=455nzjusgpir

Vegan breakfast doesn’t mean raw kale only - get creative! Try making the things you had as a kid that you still have cravings for. That’s what helps you stay on a plant powered diet! Here we used @followyourheart VeganEgg, @daiyafoods Cheddar, and @gardein sausage patties, all on a @brobagel everything bagel with @miyokoscreamery butter. Rich, delicious, and satisfying; and for me, a native New Yorker, it makes me feel nostalgic as hell. Thanks to all the companies making such good products, the taste hits a bullseye right in my memory🎯🤤 . . . #chicagovegan #yesitsvegan #veganbreakfast #bagel #bagelsandwich #justegg #sausageeggandcheese #egg #breakfastsandwich #vegan #thrive #fortheanimals #bodegasandwich #veganegg #gardein #sausage #seitanists #Veganfoodie #plantbased #plantpowered #Veganjunkfood #daiya #followyourheart #Veganinspiration #Veganiseasy #Thrivemags #Veganvultures (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIyQzTkpFpU/?igshid=9mfhj77trrol

That’s not chicken... we’ve lucked out, and with a generous gift from @chefsspecialchicago while closing doors for quarantine, beyond chuffed to make a plate of lions mane mushrooms, with a snow pea tip salad and botan calrose rice. Lions mane mushrooms are very rare, and usually foraged. They are also prized by eastern medicine for having strong respiratory rehabilitative properties.

Today’s mission: vegan Caldo de Res. It’s basically a Mexican beef soup with lots of tasty veggies, but I swapped in a house made seitan and ramped up the vegetable quotient, and added jalapeños and citrus! Fellow chicagoans, and likely people all over the world, you can likely find a prepared container of this in any latinx grocery store all ready to go! It should have onion, celery, carrot, corn, zucchini and/or chayote squash, potato, and maybe cabbage lime and cilantro. Take it home, cook the carrots celery and onion with some good oil first, add your stock and potato, bring it to a boil and add your squash and cabbage, cook another 10 mins or so, then serve with citrus, jalapeño, and cilantro! Suddenly you’ve got a killer, homemade, and healthy soup in less than an hour! If you’re healthy and can make it to the store, or can get vegetable delivery, give it a shot. . . . . . #caldo #caldoderes #vegan #caldovegano #veganmexicanfood #lockdown #lockdowncooking #firsttime #quarantinecooking #quarantinelife #quarantined #coronacooking #coronacookingchallenge #quarantine #quarantineandchill #quarantinedcook #coronacook #coronacooks #corona #coronavirus #covid_19 #morefood #morefoodplease #fatandsassy #fatnsassy #tasty #delicious #fresh #soupciety #soup (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-LMsmpoKI/?igshid=1b36asmx4n8fg

There's no great way to photograph curry without covering it up with pretty garnishes. So I'm just going to leave this here and say THE UGLY FOOD ALWAYS TASTES THE BEST 😻😻😻 . . This "orange" Dahl is no exception; a Peazy Riff between Thai yellow curry and Indian Red Dahl and the space between them. It's got rich coconut to balance out green chile heat, huge aromatic hits from my own Ras El Hanout spice blend, some extra extra cumin and coriander, plus a huge helping of Thai yellow curry paste with Kafir lime and fresh turmeric. Oh, the smells! The flavors! It almost makes you forget this is crazy healthy! And eating well tastes GOOD y'all. (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B14kw4IJg9m/?igshid=l0q0chzo9tvq

Had a great time at the @jeffandjudes popup yesterday at @fancycocktailbar. Here's their "basic bitch" avocado toast, with pickled carrot, watermelon radish, and pea shoots on housemade everything rye bread, and served with a shot of rosé. Killer. Thanks for making a vegan option y'all! Can't wait 'til the next one! 📸: @allison_june #chicagovegan #popup #testbed #brunch #jeffandjudes #vegan (at Best Intentions) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwnn-5ugcDH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kanvsv6s9m5x

Hey Chicago! I'm playing an all vinyl set, Songs about Elevation, at @logan_arcade this Saturday 4/20. There will ALSO be some really special @halfacrebeer beers on draft for the 10 year anniversary of Daisy Cutter Pale Ale, which is extra special to me because I'm also a brewer for Half Acre, and I literally started working there because I love that beer. So let's celebrate! Come shimmy, sway, and play, and have a beer or 11 while I mix in a few hymns to the devil's lettuce. Party starts at 10! See you there! . . . #party #🍁 #🌲#420 #records #celebrate #craftbeer #chicagocraftbeer #beer #supportlocal #craftbrewery #recordsonly #allvinylset #allvinyl #funk #soul #reggae #doom #chicago #loganarcade #hightimes #vinyljunky #vinyllover #unitedcratesofamerica #cratedigger #vinyljunkie #cratedigging #cratediggers #recordlover #recordsandbeers (at Logan Arcade) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXk_cpgPK_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jd5sbh0zhg5u

Records, coffee, brekkie. My absolutely favorite way to spend a morning with Ms. Peazy. Doesn't hurt to have a @revbrewchicago Little Crazy beermosa to sweeten the deal. . . . . Breakfast sammie with @fieldroast breakfast sausage, @followyourheart egg, @daiyafoods cheddar, garlic and butter sautéed spinach and fresh tomato on a hearty biscuit. I'm telling you, if you could taste all this right now you'd never leave our house.

It's -21 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago right now. I'm not complaining, but it sure would be better with more of this pizza from last night. But then again, what situation isn't improved by good pizza? . . . . @violife_foods parm and @daiyafoods mozz, fresh hothouse grape tomatoes, red pepper, locally grown greenhouse basil and marinated kalamata olives. And your boy Peezy's secret red sauce recipe 😉. Killer slice! SHOW ME YOURS! Snap a pic of your homemade pizza, tag me in it, and I'll repost it here. We could all use a little pizza in our life when the weather gets ugly, let's spread the love! . . . . . #🍕 #plantbased #hungry #whatveganseat #veganpizzalover #veganfood #veganfoodlovers #foodblogger #veganblogger #eeeeeats #meatfree #dairyfree #feedfeed #bestofvegan #veganpizzagram #peazydoesit #chicago #chicagovegan #veganfoodlover #veganpizza #itsvegan #vegan #veganvultures #letscookvegan #vegetarian #veganuary #vegansofig #veganfoodporn #veganeats #eaterchicago (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRNng9gkfb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n5yu8a309cah

Another day, another biscuit and gravy recipe tweak. Someday, it'll all come together for the perfect ratio, but honestly, I'm okay if I have to keep practicing for a while as long as the experiments are this tasty 😍😍😍 . . . . . #seitanist #plantbased #veganbreakfast #whatveganseat #brekky #veganfood #veganfoodlovers #foodblogger #veganblogger #eeeeeats #meatfree #dairyfree #feedfeed #bestofvegan #breakfast #peazydoesit #chicago #chicagovegan #veganfoodlover #veganfoodshare #itsvegan #vegan #veganjunkfood #letscookvegan #vegetarian #veganuary #vegansofig #veganfoodporn #veganeats #eater (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOUlvZgppu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y6829tewtd9z

2 words. Vegan. Quiche. Goddamn, @fancyplantscafe ! First visit to this new Chicago spot and I am impressed. Spoke to the owner for a bit and found he's an alum of Millenium restaurant in San Francisco -- a place I had one of my all-time favorite meals and drank too much good wine to remember. Of course I had to try this beautiful and flaky quiche in the case. And I'll tell you, it delivers! They've also got killer coffee and a whole stacked case of sweets, but you've got to visit between 7a-3p to catch them while they're open! Go support a new venture, see what they've got to offer, and tell me what you like on the menu. I expect a full report! . . . . . #quiche #plantbased #hungry #whatveganseat #veganquiche #veganfood #veganfoodlovers #foodblogger #veganblogger #veganaf #meatfree #dairyfree #feedfeed #bestofvegan #veganfoodie #veganchicago #chicago #chicagovegan #veganfoodlover #veganfoodshare #itsvegan #vegan #thrillist #veganrestaurant #vegetarian #veganuary #vegansofig #veganfoodporn #veganeats #eater (at Fancy Plants Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtML4pTgyGC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ghyrs9uazwly

Makin' that good good potatoes au gratin with @violife_foods parm and homemade cashew sauce. Adapted from @minimalistbaker and tweaked with that Peazy style, I.e. Doubled, dipped, and dosed with even more flavor -- things like adding smoked paprika, white wine, fresh chives, and roughly 3 times the garlic (because when a recipe calls for garlic, it's more of a guideline 😉). Next time I want to try with bacon seitan! Check out their recipe and let me know how you'd put your own tweak on it! . . . . #scallopedpotatoes #plantbased #potatoes #whatveganseat #potatoesaugratin #veganfood #veganfoodlovers #foodblogger #veganblogger #veganaf #meatfree #dairyfree #feedfeed #bestofvegan #foodgasm #peazydoesit #chicago #chicagovegan #veganfoodlover #veganfoodshare #itsvegan #vegan #fresh #letscookvegan #vegetarian #veganuary #vegansofig #veganfoodporn #veganeats #minimalistbaker (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKX7LxgMlj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vh4ws8rpjhf
