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 >

A is for…

Arame. Welcome to the first day of Alphebruary.  [In case you missed the description of this month’s little game, see this post] Arame is a species of seaweed.  I’ve used it to make seaweed salads before (as well as wakame), but seaweed is something I often forget about until I am at a sushi restaurant.  It’s ridiculously easy to make, which is why it immediately came to mind when I was brainstorming “A” words for the first day of Alphebruary.  So tonight I was set on making a delicious seaweed salad centered around arame.  Here… Read more >

What a Monday

I didn’t leave the apartment all day.  I didn’t get a WINK of shut eye (I’ve been up for over 55 hours straight).  I ate half the bag of cereal (I lost track after bowl number 4).  I watched the entire first season of 30 Rock. I attacked a jar of peanut butter with nothing but a spoon. I rocked sweat pants the entire time.  Oh, and I polished off the last few slices of vegan cheesecake.  The crust was still perfectly moist and crumbly (CoverMate what whaaaat). Tomorrow starts Alphebruary :)
