What Vegans Eat – Day 10

Breakfast: We like waffles and we have them at least once a week. We have a bunch of different waffle recipes on this website and lately I’ve been making the Buckwheat Waffles.

What Vegans Eat – Day 9

Breakfast: You are not still eating cereal out of a cardboard box, are you? As the artist Tom Lieber said when I interviewed him on my IT’S ALL ABOUT FOOD SHOW,   “How uninvolved do you want to be with your life?”   Why grab for a box, even the “healthy” “natural” ones, when you…

What Vegans Eat – Day 4

Breakfast: We finished up the cornbread that we made the day before and served it with apricot butter. I also had an organic pear. For tea, I had Organic Genmaicha Extra Green Tea. I love this tea not only for its light but complex flavor, but because it is indeed extra green.   Snack/lunch: I…
