HAAAAA HA HA. GET IT??! NUTS!!!!! Yeah. OK. So finally, there’s vegan cheese that doesn’t gross me out, and it’s made out of nuts. But it’s also super expensive, so I usually just make some vegan cheese. Cashew ricotta is quick and easy for a creamy filling/topping; nutty nooch is just nuts/seeds of my choice–usually…
#VeganMoFo Day 5: I Don’t Believe in an Interventionist Veganism
But I know, darling, that you do. Seriously, though – making a lifestyle change based on one meal is a bit much to ask. So maybe let’s focus on that thin pie slice of maybe-could-be-vegan-but… sorts. You know, the ones who say things like “But I love cheese too much.” Yes, I realize that’s tomorrow’s…
#VeganMoFo Day 4: Don’t Order Me a “Vegan” Option, I’ll Go Ahead And Brown-Bag It
Ugghhh…the dreaded veggie wrap tray. Cold, moist, bland, barely edible. Crudites. The shittiest hummus you’ve ever bothered to eat. Cookies that definitely aren’t vegan but you might sneak a bite because you just want something that might taste OK, but then they taste like nothing. Anyway. I made that kind of stuff, but not so…
#VeganMoFo Day 3: I Read an Article About Protein-Packed Vegan Foods So You Don’t Have to (But You Probably Will Anyway If That’s Your Thing)
A.K.A. I Am Not A Nutritionist, But I Know How to Google Listen, if you’re here, you probably already know that getting your protein as a vegan, like, ain’t a problem. That shit’s in everything. It’s B12 you gotta look out for, but let’s not get into that. But I went ahead and looked up…
#VeganMoFo Day 2: I Didn’t Get Fat Eating Kale
OK, to be fair, I was fat before I went vegan, but I also didn’t experience any kind of miraculous weight loss after I did, because god dammit, I LOVE SUGAR and I WON’T BE SHAMED. Anyway, among my favorite homemade junk foods is any kind of cookie, period, which I sometimes just make into…
#VeganMoFo Day 1: Reinventing Beans & Rice
One of the most basic vegetarian dishes is beans and rice. It really gets around: all kinds of beans, all kinds of rice, all kinds of seasonings and regional styles. You’ve got your Hoppin’ John with black-eyed peas, black beans and lightly seasoned white rice accompanying Costa Rican cuisine, Spanish rice and refried pinto beans…
HELLO! THIS BLOG LIVES! Mostly for VeganMoFo, coming soon to a corner of the internet near you. After last November – that terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad election; breaking my foot; not getting to finish all my awesome planned VeganMoFo projects – I pretty much abandoned this platform in favor of just posting shit on Instagram,…
#VeganMoFo Day 16: You Can’t Reinvent the Color Wheel
Let’s keep this real simple: purple cabbage linguine (one of my favorite monochromatic easy meals, from Color Me Vegan), plus some slices of roasted ‘carnival’ squash, which as a nice yellow flesh and edible skin. I s’pose I could’ve arranged the plate so it was rah-rah my alma mater, University of Washington, whose colors are…
#VeganMoFo Day 14: Chim Chiminey, Chim Chimichurri
For today’s ONE COLOR challenge, I cooked an all-green dinner. Look, I know there is a SIMILAR prompt on the 20th, but I am gonna go with the OTHER meaning of “green” then. Stay tuned. My all-green platter includes: green seitan, kale, avocado, chimichurri, pepitas, and jade green rice. How do you make seitan green?…
#VeganMoFo Day 13: Aliens Dream of Noodle Soup?
Honestly, who knows what aliens would like. Who knows what their taste/smell/other senses prefer, or what kinds of limbs they’d use to eat it with! Maybe they don’t “eat” in a way we recognize at all. But let’s say it’s a very Star Trek-like alien visiting, the kind that looks basically human with funny ears…
