What Vegans Eat – Day 29

Breakfast: Big day of filming ahead. Big days need to start with oatmeal! It went well with Bai Mu Dan White Tea.   Lunch: We were filming the next episode of the Transition Kitchen and that means BIG FOOD! With Gary’s spicy tomato sauce, he put together the best eggplant parmesan EVER!! Who needs dairy?…

What Vegans Eat – Day 28

It’s been 4 weeks of What Vegans Eat. What have you learned? What surprised me is how we continue to come up with new recipes, new ways to eat plants, deliciously. Many are simple modifications of our typical meals and some have been amazing, beautiful masterpieces.   Breakfast: It’s oatmeal again and that’s good. We…

What Vegans Eat – Day 27

Breakfast: Our leftover buckwheat crêpes from the day before became new again, filled with roasted banana cream and strawberries with a Brandied Apricot Butter and Berry Coulis. Served with Sliced Oranges, Kukitcha tea and the Sunday New York Times. That’s a Sunday Brunch!   Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Carrots, Black Radish, Lemons  …

What Vegans Eat – Day 26

When you work from home, it is hard to differentiate between weekdays and weekends. Our marker for the weekends is the arrival of the New York Times. It is a wonderful opportunity to have a lovely breakfast, drink tea and read the paper.   Breakfast: Buckwheat crêpes, served with homemade syrup and Apricot Butter, Genmaicha…

What Vegans Eat – Day 24

The day began with news headlines I never thought I’d read: Indian State Bans Possession and Sale of Beef and Elephants to Retire From Ringling Brothers Stage. While nowhere near perfect: the Indian State of Maharashtra’s ban is on the slaughter of bulls, bullocks and calves but still allows for the slaughter of water buffaloes…

What Vegans Eat – Day 23

As I write this blog my head is reeling with my long list of things to do. We are planning for our April 22 fundraiser and working on securing sponsors and underwriters. That tax date of April 15 is fast approaching as I think about what I need to do well before that date, for…

What Vegans Eat – Day 22

Breakfast: The day began with a treat! One hamentaschen cookie. Why not? It’s like a breakfast pastry and the modification I made to the recipe gave the dough a bread-like texture. I had it with Genmaicha Green Tea and an orange. It went well with the book I was finishing for my interview later in…

What Vegans Eat – Day 21

Breakfast: This was a simple breakfast and get-to-work-as-fast-as-you-can kind of day. We had vanilla tea and hot oatmeal with apples and dried apricots that I topped with nothing-but-the-flax, 2 Tablespoons ground flax. Got to keep those omega-3’s up. And speaking of nutrients, here’s what vitamins I take at breakfast: Vitamin D3, the vegan version and…
