One of my favorite things to do for an easy dinner is to get a simple can of tomato soup and beef it up with lots of yummies.

This was a lovely can of organic tomato and basil. To it I added sauteed spinach and red peppers, chickpeas, and nutritional yeast (this stuff is really impressing [...]


So, as promised, here are my thoughts on my week of lots of posts…
I am so posting once a day or at least once every other day from now on. This has been such a good week for me. I feel 500% more involved in this little section of the blogosphere now… and I knew [...]


Cake Oats

30Mar09

I bet you could see this one coming… What does a girl do with morning after cake? Put it on oats, of course…

I’m out of peanut butter (shock! horror!) but this was the perfect substitution… Got my veggies in for the morning!
I know I promised a long post this morning, but I’m running very very [...]


So in order to celebrate the end of my week blogging every meal, I decided to make a cake! At first I thought of carrot cake, but I didn’t have enough carrots… What to do?
Make a Carrot-Beet-Sweet Potato Cake, of course!

Working from a basic recipe for vegan carrot cake, I just did 1/3 carrots, 1/3 beets, [...]


Using Up Food

29Mar09

I finally finished that gosh darned eggplant! I put him on a pita with some tofu and tomatoes (also finished!) and served it up with strawberries and a side of kale (finished too!). Finally, my supplies are diminishing and I can get new and different things to eat. I’m sure other single people have this [...]


I pretty much threw everything into this smoothie that I had on hand… 

I started with a ton of ice cubes, added a banana, two dates, lots of coconut, some flax, a dash of cinnamon, a tad bit agave, hazelnut almond rice milk… I blended that all up and it tasted weird and way to0 cinnamon-y, [...]


Sunday Brunch!

29Mar09

Actually it’s just the regular old oats… But it was more like brunch to me this morning because time changed last night and I lost an hour! Hate that… I felt like I was waking up so late! Ah well, what can you do?

I was tempted to add a banana to these oats, but I [...]


To forget about the cold and wind, I snuggled up in bed all afternoon with a book I’m reading for class: Crash by J. G. Ballard. It’s, um… interesting, so far. If anyone knows what it’s about or has seen the movie, you know what I mean. I find I have to take a break [...]


My food so far today has been sort of boring — I’m still using up the same old produce, so I feel like my meals can’t be guided by my tastes but by necessity. Good thing I like the fruits and veggies I buy!
I stayed at Gary’s last night, so I had no oats this [...]


So I didn’t really have lunch today — a bit of bran here, some carrots with hummus there — because I was holding out for Jonelle’s birthday linner at Jo’burger in Rathmines. I’ve been there twice before and every time it’s beyond excellent — they even have two (!) kinds of vegan burgers, one chickpea [...]
