We all come home from work/school some days feeling completely exhausted and hungry. You’d love a fancy vegan meal from your favorite cookbook but the idea of spending more than ten minutes on something (especially since you’re about to lash out at the person closest to you due to your hunger and bad mood) is [...]
Thanks to my Dad for emailing me this amazing recipe from Mark Bittman’s “The Minimalist” in the NY Times. He sent it on Saturday. On Sunday morning I went to Whole Foods, picked up the ingredients and made it for my husband and our good friend for lunch. Perfection! Here is a list of ingredients [...]
I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting for this for quite some time. It’s finally here. Lauren Ulm’s vegan cookbook. And if it’s anything like her fantastic blog, it’s going to be awesome. I’m ordering my copy right now. Here my dears are some of the recipes you will find inside: Blueberry Waffles [...]
I’ve been seeing blogs rave about Daiya vegan cheese for months now. Apparently it melts like real cheese, the texture is good, the taste is good. Everything you could ever want. I mean, look at that pizza! How much do you want to eat that right now?! The only problem: it’s not available many places. [...]
I couldn’t decide which to blog about today so my choice was to blog about both. Fried green tomatoes and a feel good elephant story. Vegan Yum Yum has posted a brand new recipe for fried green tomatoes. I’ve seen the movie. I’ve heard of the dish. I’ve never eaten them. Nor do I know [...]
Do you love a chocolate fix but don’t always want to have all the sugar and extras added to it? Lately, I’ve been eating cacao nibs. Tiny little chocolatey crunchy bits of cacao – the substance that chocolate is made from. It’s not that great on it’s own. It’s a little bitter, and a little [...]
Vegan Yum Yum just posted a new pancake recipe. Now she has two. I tried the last one and it was delicious. I can’t wait to try this one – she claims it’s even better. I certainly have a weak spot in my self control when it comes to pancakes. Actually, any breakfast food. But [...]
Saturday is the 4th and today is the start of a three day weekend. Hooray! And what is great about the 4th being on Saturday? Answer: Farmers markets are often on Saturday mornings. That means when preparing your yummy vegan dishes, you can get fresh fruits, veggies breads, and other treats to bring home with [...]
The vegan world has been buzzing with some upsetting information. Quarrygirl.com did an undercover investigation on 17 vegan restaurants in LA to see if they were as vegan as they claimed. 10 passed. 7 did not. NOTE: They just did a follow up blog. Totally worth reading. Click here. Winners and good guys: Flore, Vinh [...]
I happen to love tofu. I think it’s a really versatile food. Between stir fry, tofu scramble and tofu egg salad, the options are endless. My only gripe is that, in order for tofu to be good, you have to press the water out of it. I won’t use paper towels because I feel bad [...]
