Baked Eggplant Sticks

Well the post title says it all, doesn’t it?  The letter of the day was “e” and so I chose to hack up an eggplant.  I was trying to make fries, but they came out a bit on the mushy side, so I feel like a phony passing them off as such.  Frites they were not.  All I did was chop up the eggplant into matchstick shapes (aka “fries”). Then I did a little shake ‘n bake with Lawry’s seasoning.  I believe this photo accurately sums up my ghetto fabulous method. Then I lined them… Read more >

A “soul sistas” Superbowl

A little background:  Kyle’s parents are fabulously open-minded when it comes to food.  My veganism has never been an obstacle when dining with them, and has in fact been embraced with open arms.  It’s always a blast eating with them.  Whether we are feasting out or cooking in, they go above and beyond to make sure there are delicious vegan options available at all times.  Much to my delight, they kicked off 2011 with the Daniel Fast, a plant-based eating plan (combined with the spiritual component of prayer).  After 21 days, the results from this… Read more >

Delish durum

Last night I went to bed at 7:45.  Yeah.  Guess my body was trying to tell me something, huh?  I just went with it.  I had “dinner” at 5, just after posting about my cashew cheese. For those who asked, here’s the recipe I used.  [It’s a combination of a few I’ve seen throughout the blog world and my RFD cookbook] Vegan cashew “cheese” Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup raw cashews (I soaked mine before) 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp onion powder 1 lemon, juiced (approx. 2-3 tbsp) 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 1/2 large orange… Read more >

The Big O, the Big V, the Big C

Curious about day 3 of alphebruary?  Here’s a teaser. But before I get into that, I wanted to hear people’s thoughts on the way Oprah discussed veganism on a recent episode of her show.  I was talking whining about it to my mom yesterday and she brought up some good points.  So, I’m not going to be the bitter vegan that brings up all the issues I had with it because after some consideration, I’m just happy veganism is getting the spotlight at all (regardless of the reasons The Big O is choosing to showcase… Read more >

Barley Irony

Yes, I ate more than my arame-zing salad yesterday. I had breakfast (Alvarado Street sprouted bread with peanut butter, banana slices, and cinnamon). Lunch (wrap). And dinner. My latest batch of log seitan was in both lunch and dinner. I used this same recipe/method but kneaded it longer, which made for a much denser log.  The lunch wrap had Alvarado Street sprouted tortilla, spinach, seitan, and a delicious avocado/hummus spread. One (whole) avocado + one (huge) scoop of roasted red pepper hummus One squeeze of lime juice + one dash of paprika I spread some… Read more >
