So I’m here in Portland, Oregon.  I already checked into the Vida Vegan Con and picked up my awesome swag bag which is wicked heavy and needed to be stashed back at my hotel so I can walk around unencumbered.  Now I have a little time to kill and I’m starving. I considered digging intoContinue reading “It’s really just oatmeal, and it’s awesome – Viva Vegan Con day 1”

This is my 3rd round of homemade bagels in recent weeks, but I’m just getting to posting this time round.  I made bagels many years ago that turned out more like flagels than bagels.  I’m not entirely sure what possessed me to try again, but I’m really glad I did.  King Arthur Flour makes aContinue reading “Bagels! Who knew they were so easy?”

I was sent a sample of the Kaeng Raeng 3-day beginner detox.  I ended up doing the cleanse during a busy time at work, so mixed them up when I was hungry and drank them before remembering I should take photos.  So I’m using a few stock pics from Kaeng Raeng.      I mixedContinue reading “Rockin’ Detox – Kaeng Raeng”

I occasionally work from the office in NYC so I thought I’d take a walk up to Candle Cafe for lunch today. It’s a little over 20 blocks each way so I got in a good 2 mile walk to boot. I was hungry, so I went for the seitan burger and added daiya and tempeh bacon. Continue reading “Weekday lunch at Candle Cafe”

One of my favorite local restaurants in Tarrytown, NY, Sweet Grass Grill has a weekly Meatless Monday tasting menu, so I’ve been setting up monthly meet-ups to take advantage of it.  Lately, they’ve had even more vegan options and sometimes a whole vegan Monday menu including dessert.  Woo-hoo! The Beet Sliders were amazing.   WhatContinue reading “Meatless Monday Meet-up at Sweetgrass”

Here’s my contribution to St. Patrick’s day. Romaine lettuce, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, green apple, green grapes.

I read the Engine 2 Diet awhile ago and recently watched the Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue which features healthy kitchen ingredient make-overs for 2 families and some great looking recipies.  One of the “recipes” I never got around to trying before was “Rip’s Big Bowl” for breakfast. I mean, it’s just cereal, right?  But now that I’ve made it, IContinue reading “Grapefruit on cereal? Rip’s Big Bowl”

Some beans, little bit of this, little bit of that, and voila, million bean soup! A Crock Pot makes this easy soup a no brainier. There’s a recipe, but most of the point is that there is no recipe! I didn’t have a bag of mixed dried beans to I took all the open bagsContinue reading “Million Bean Soup from Robin Robertson”

The Reuben just might be my favorite sandwich.  Toasty and tangy, it always satisfies.  This version features the Mushroom Tomato Slices from Tami and Celine’s Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day!  The Reuben is basically a grilled sandwich with a protein, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing.   Traditionally a Reuben is made with corned beef and swissContinue reading “There’s no denying, Vegan Sandwiches Save The Day!”
