Buckwheaties

I first made and tried Buckwheaties when I was eating an all-raw vegan diet and I was looking at recipes in Juliano’s Raw, The Uncook Book book. It was one of the few recipes in the book that wasn’t smothered in olive oil and nama shoyu. I loved them! But I seemed to forget about…

What Vegans Eat – Day 631

Breakfast: We couldn’t wait for breakfast! I had made Buckwheaties and we wanted to try them. I had soaked some almonds overnight and blended up some Almond Milk. Yummy! This was a fun breakfast. I haven’t eaten boxed cereal in a long time, Buckwheaties have that crunch and they hold up in your favorite nondairy…

Chickpea Tomato Stew

Here is an easy recipe that works well, especially if you cook a lot of beans every week and use them in different ways. It’s even better the next day when the flavors have had time to blend. 3 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed (2 15-16 ounce cans) 3 medium organic Yukon Gold potatoes, cut in…

What Vegans Eat – Day 630

Breakfast: I was really motivated this morning. I started a pot of chickpeas cooking since they had soaked over night. And I had soaked some raw buckwheat groats because it was time to make Buckwheaties. I hadn’t made this delightful, crunchy cereal in over ten years. Why did I let so much time go by?…

What Vegans Eat – Day 628

Breakfast: We slept in as late as we could. We had no fresh produce and we were out of oats. But we had Corn Thins. Gary whipped up a fresh batch of Apricot Butter. It’s so good when it’s warm, it’s like caramel. I made a big pot of English Breakfast tea. It’s always lovely…

What Vegans Eat – Day 627: Special Travel Edition

Brunch: For our last day in Fort Lauderdale we promised Laura and Bret that we would make pancakes at their home. Laura’s friend Adele had just arrived the night before and they were going to do some volunteering for the presidential campaign later in the day. Rather than make one of our many pancake recipes,…

What Vegans Eat – Day 626: Special Travel Edition

Breakfast: Did you ever wonder why some oatmeal is creamy and some it chewier and chunky? If you heat up the oats and water together you’ll get a creamy cereal. If you boil the water then add the rolled oats, the result will be chewy. Normally I cook everything all at once because it is…

We got our Green IVs again with…
