Fig Friday

I’ll fly through the beginning of this post and get the part when (part of) my family is in town!! So tired I couldn’t even scoop my oats into the bowl.  They were made with oats, buckwheat, apples, cinnamon, and vanilla stevia.    Lunch was shake ‘n bake.  Minus the bake.  I just love using tupperware with lids to get dressing in every nook and cranny.   This is especially important when it’s a delicious dressing like Follow Your Heart’s vegan caesar. It helps if you sing while you do it: shake shake shake, shake… Read more >

Another maoz meal

So my last post left off with us wandering the Latin Quarter attempting to locate the Pantheon.  Well, we did eventually find it. Pantheon means “every God,” which is weird considering it’s (now) a secular sight.  But originally it was a church, built for and dedicated to St. Genevieve (the patron Saint of Paris).  This Genevieve chick was quite the good luck charm for the French.  She protected Paris from the Barbarians in 500 AD and was then buried at the Pantheon.  Thousands of years later, Louis XV credited her for his recovery from serious… Read more >

Tal Ronnen

I just read this article and I think it’s fantastic.  Tal Ronnen is a chef, dubbed “the best vegan chef in America” by Oprah.  And let’s be real, she knows America.  He also catered Ellen’s wedding.  And designed the vegan meals for all 22 of the Wynn and Encore restaurants in Vegas.  Some favorite quotes: "If I could get one point across, it would be this: Being a vegan is not about depriving yourself. If you sit around eating lettuce and carrots all day because that’s what you think vegans are doing, you’re doing it… Read more >

It may not be summer, but I’m still roasting

Ok, I know.  It’s semi-odd to be roasting winter squash in June, right?  But I had a butternut and delicata squash hanging around the kitchen and figured I better seize the day. So I hacked my way into them, lubed the skin down with coconut oil, and popped ‘em in the oven at 375. I made sure to salvage the seeds to roast too.  They are loaded with iron and (quite frankly) delicious.  Those didn’t get coconut oil though.  They were sprayed with PAM and sprinkled in salt.  Nada mas, nada less. I took the… Read more >

day trois, part deux

This post turned out to be mostly anecdotes, and really only covered a few hours of the day (oops!).  I have writing ADHD.  Enjoy! Based on the title (and previous Paris posts), I’m sure you’ve gotten the sense of how awful my French is.  And so the fun continued…with a post-lunch tour through Notre Dame.   What I’m pointing to above is how Eglise minus the “g” is Elise…I realize I’m a dork for being thrilled over this, but I still get excited when I see my name on things.  I guess that’s because I… Read more >
