Yummy Dijon Dressing
I’ve decided to eat salad more.
I know it’s a little ironic that I don’t eat salad very much and most people think that that’s all a vegan eats. But I don’t eat it that much.
I usually opt to each my veggies in other ways because all salad tastes the same when i make it myself. So I thought I would start making my own salad dressing and maybe it would make me eat...
Kinda Raw Sundae
It’s important that I eat dessert every night.
Every night.
Husband had made chocolate cake a couple nights ago and I found this recipe for banana ice cream and chocolate sauce on tofuguru.net. It was a match made in heaven!
The ice cream and chocolate sauce on their own are low in sugar and high in protein and healthiness. The ice cream is cashew butter and bananas with a little agave....
Killer Vegan Lasagna
Yes- my photography skills need to improve. My problem is that I want to eat the food too badly to take time to stage a picture… especially this meal because it was HELLA GOOD!
Ever since buying Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s Appetite for Reduction, I’ve been dying to make this cauliflower-tofu ricotta. Tofu ricotta is a surprisingly awesome cheese substitute because the texture is...
Sunchokes.
These little babies are my new favorite thing. They look like ginger but taste like HEAVEN! Also known as jerusalem artichokes, these rooty things pack some serious flavor. They grow up here in the north west and are actually not related to artichokes at all but daisies… weird, huh? The taste like the love child of a red potato and an artichoke- amazing. My favorite way to eat these is...
Oatmeal Chocolate Date Cookies
I’ve been doing pretty well on my sugar intake these days. I’m trying to hold out until this weekend when my WONDERFUL husband is taking me to southern California for my birthday. There will definitely be treats on this trip so I’m glad I’ve behaved myself.
These cookies do have some sugar BUT they also have a lot of fiber because of the wheat flour, oats and...
The Glory of New Cookbooks.
One of my BFFs came to visit this weekend and it was wonderful. We went to a bunch of Portland Coffee shops and walked around downtown together. One of the fun things we did is go to Powell’s books- we could have been there for hours. I bought 2 cookbooks and am pretty stoked on them!
The first one is Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s Appetite for Reduction. This book is full of yummy recipes...
Vegan Kick Start Health Plan
OK so I’m a little late on this but O thought I’d post anyway.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) are encouraging America to get fit on a 21-day vegan kick start plan.
This plan looks awesome -it has recipes and even emails you with updates and encouragement. It’s only 21 days and most of the ingredients are things you already have in your pantry.

Creamy Cauliflower Soup
On New Years Eve, my ::super hot:: husband and I drove up Seattle and enjoyed a romantic evening filled with beautiful fireworks, friends and food. We went to a great dinner at Sutra. Five courses of the best food EVER! One of the best dishes was a roasted cauliflower soup. It was so so SO very good! I believe Jeremy’s words were “I want to bathe in this”. So yeah- we had to...
Anonymous asked: you know vegans still kill animals google earth satelite a map of your state and look at the fields of crops, think about how much space they take up, you starve and fence out thousands of small animals like mice .
Resolutions and Raw Carrot Cake
Happy 2011!
This year I’m going to try to eat less sugar. Try. That is no simple task for me, mind you, but luckily there are a lot of really great recipes to get me started on my sugar free journey. This is a recipe from Tofuguru.net. I love this site because she posts super cute videos of her cooking process. I picked this recipe because I’ve really been wanting to familiarize...
