What Vegans Eat – Day 293

Breakfast: Hurray for oatmeal! We are craving it after days of Thanksgiving food and leftovers. Pecans make this oatmeal still seem festive since we don’t have them in the house on a regular basis. And I am now asking myself why that is. I think pecans will be on the shipping list more often. They…

What Vegans Eat – Day 292

Breakfast: Working our way through the Thanksgiving leftovers, I thought the Kabocha Squash stuffed with Creamy Risotto would make a nice breakfast.   Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Cabbage, Celery, Carrots, Lime   Dinner: There was so much food leftover from Thanksgiving I moved everything to the freezer. When we came home after a long…

What Vegans Eat – Day 291

Breakfast: It’s Thanksgiving week and that means pie for breakfast! This raw pecan pie is made with nuts, dates and spices. It’s real food and real sweet. A breakfast treat.   Lunch: The leftovers continue: Baked Tofu, Tempeh In Crosta, slices of La Baguette, and Olive Bread, Carrot Sticks, assorted homemade vegan cheeses.   Dinner:…

What Vegans Eat – Day 290

Breakfast: With a belly still a little full from Thanksgiving I went for a variation on the Super Green Power Smoothie. Instead of the nuts, seeds and nut and seed butters I used a piece of Raw Pecan Pie from Thanksgiving. Why not? It was made with pecans, walnuts and dates. I sipped and chewed…

What Vegans Eat – Day 289

It’s Thanksgiving Day! Since eating will be the main event of the day we naturally skipped our early meals. I got up and began baking bread.

What Vegans Eat – Day 288

More cooking! One day until Thanksgiving and lots more to do. I wasn’t hungry until lunch time. Lunch: My 89-year-old neighbor gave me a box of arugula. I tossed the entire contents with leftover brown rice, chopped black olives, raw onions and apple cider vinegar and ate it all. It was delicious and energizing.  …

What Vegans Eat – Day 287

Breakfast: Got into the Thanksgiving swing of things with a festive oatmeal made with dried cranberries, pecans, apples, bananas, cinnamon, allspice and coconut milk which prepared us for the big day of cooking ahead.   Lunch: No time or desire to make anything complicated when hungry and preparing food for the big holiday meal in…

What Vegans Eat – Day 286

Breakfast: Our Fruity Waffles recipe makes a lot of waffles and they are great the next day. I made a peanut butter cream, peanut butter blended with water to pour over my waffles.   Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Carrots, Lime   Dinner: It’s Thanksgiving week and we are preparing a big meal for…

What Vegans Eat – Day 285

Breakfast: I made a variation of our Fruity Waffles. Have I mentioned that this is our best waffle recipe yet? Gary created it and I keep modifying it based on what ingredients we have in the house. I used 2 oranges instead of one orange and a pear. The results are basically the same –…
