What Vegans Eat – Day 38

Breakfast: We don’t eat a lot of bread. We typically keep a loaf of Sprouted Grain Bread in the freezer and it lasts a long time. But when one has Corned “Bean,” you have to make sandwiches. So I had bought a loaf of rye bread the day before. And it called me this day…

What Vegans Eat – Day 37

Breakfast: We always have frozen organic blueberries on hand. I like to take a few out in the morning and while the water is boiling for tea and the oatmeal is being tossed with raw nuts, seeds and coconut, the blueberries defrost perfectly. By the time they reach the cereal and are mixed in with…

What Vegans Eat – Day 36

It was St. Paddy’s Day, which for us means a day to do fun things with food. It’s all about Ireland and the “wearing of the green” – or eating of the green… and orange of course. The Irish flag is symbolic of its history with green representing the Gaelic tradition of Ireland, orange representing…

What Vegans Eat – Day 35

Breakfast: I’ve heard people say they get bored with oatmeal. We don’t! I think there are a number of reasons for this. We always buy organic rolled oats and use them quickly. They are as fresh as possible, not stale. We refrigerate all of our grains so that they stay fresh and don’t get that…

What Vegans Eat – Day 34

Breakfast: I often crave something savory rather than sweet for breakfast. That’s when leftovers come in very handy. This morning’s breakfast was easy – grilled polenta and spicy tomato sauce from the day before, along with Genmaicha tea.   I visited the Seed Market at the Altman Building in Manhattan. This is a pop up…

What Vegans Eat – Day 33

Breakfast: Gary talks a lot about Original Joe’s in San Jose. I remember going there when I lived in the Bay Area, late at night after performing in a show. They had huge plates of pasta, which was the best way to calm the post-performance adrenaline and get a good night’s sleep. Gary’s favorite dish…

What Vegans Eat – Day 32

Breakfast: Rolled Oats with blueberries, bananas and a little cashew cream served with Jasmine Green Tea.   Lunch: I was invited to lunch at Sardi’s. I met Carole Hamlin (pictured on the left) about 11 years ago at Vegetarian Summerfest and we became fast friends – not only did we share a love for good…

What Vegans Eat – Day 31

Breakfast: This was a grab and go morning. I had an appointment for a blowout with stylist Evilina at Sera Salon to get ready for our last day of filming episode 3 of the REAL Good News in Review. I grabbed an apple, filled a glass bottle with Jasmine Green Tea, filled a bag of…

What Vegans Eat – Day 30

    Breakfast: Since going to sleep very late or early in the morning the day before, Gary said that what I posted for dinner yesterday was really our breakfast. So I’m including it as breakfast in this post too. Late night or early morning lasagna, either way, it’s gooey good food.      …
