I realize certain things are not meant to be photographed. Stew is one of those things. [Same goes for certain angles of my pregnant body. And the spider web situation we have going on in the front yard. And Kyle’s closet. No seriously, it’s out of control.] Maybe Ansel Adams could make this look tasty, but I am working with an iPhone at 5 am in a poorly lit kitchen. Natural sunlight, what?? Just trust me. It’s good.

I got a HUGE head of cauliflower at the farmer’s market. I think it’s going to provide enough for multiple meals – I’m thinking this soup, these “steaks”, and/or some kind of recreation of this appetizer. I didn’t get any squash while there, but found these guys amusing. I made this loaf the same way I make every other loaf and it somehow ended up all squat? It tasted the same, so I’m not sure what happened. I used a different kind of yeast (organic Rapunzel was cheaper than Red Star when I went shopping… Read more >

Since I previously posted this week’s prep and my game plan, I figured I might go into the specifics for a few of the meals that I mentioned. And show how the rest of the week turned out in terms of the schedule. Monday As planned, I made Emily’s miso sweet potatoes (which we had with vegan chili) for dinner. As part of the pre-week prep, I had roasted 4 huge sweet potatoes, which was more than enough for the two of us. Needless to say, we had a ton of leftovers for the rest… Read more >

My ability to sleep normally is gone. And I’m fairly certain it’s going to be that way for the rest of my life. Despite my state of perpetual exhaustion, this weekend was f.u.n. We ate out twice on Saturday. For lunch we went to Seed Bistro in Venice, which is rapidly becoming my favorite vegan spot on the Westside. I’ve never had a mediocre meal there – only the best. I finally branched out and got something that wasn’t the Asian Kale salad. This is the Creamy Caesar, with romaine, croutons, and a… Read more >

Since I returned to eating eggs…a while ago…I no longer consider myself vegan. I’m basically a dairy free vegetarian. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like vegan food. I love it actually. I eat it often. And seeing as October was vegan mofo, I decided to recap some of my daily vegan eats. October 1: Spaghetti Squash with Marinara & Tofurky October 2: Quinoa & Seitan with Red Almond Sauce October 3: Mexican Layered Casserole October 4: Blue Plate’s vegan white bean soup and gardenburger salad October 5: Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie October… Read more >
