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 >

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 >

Unbelievable

I forgot to share this earlier.  Look what I came home to yesterday!   Marinara tofu baked with veggies.  Ummmm…my husband isn’t vegan or vegetarian, but he has been getting awfully friendly with the ‘fu.  I swear I had nothing to do with this dinner.  I was in complete shock when I got home from work and Kyle was digging into a block of tofu!  He was so proud of his creation that he had even taken photos with my camera!    Amazing.  He said there were a few changes he would make (like splitting… Read more >
