Let us know what you think!
First Meal: I made a new batch of Cashew Yogurt adding less water to make it very thick and rich. Gary says it’s the best. I like it with Date Paste. I made Hemp Milk, blending Hemp Seeds with Water. It’s pretty simple. I had some Houjicha tea and drove out east to visit…
First Meal: Gary had an audition today. This means getting up at the crack of dawn to get a good audition time. We both got up and I went to work. I didn’t eat until he came home. He stopped at Westerly and brought home Peanuts and Coconut covered Dates. We snacked on them as…
First Meal: Just another day at Responsible Eating And Living headquarters. And it starts like this. With Steel Cut Oats, topped with Cacao Nibs, Coconut, Sunflower Seeds, Blueberries and Walnuts. Second Meal: We’ve got a podcast to broadcast today and Gary knew we’d need to eat first. He made his Asian Slaw with Napa…
First Meal: I had two auditions this morning. Auditions are exhausting. I got up early, went to Pearl Studios in Manhattan, sat and waited until I could sign up for one audition, then I signed up for the other and sat and waited for my times to arrive. Gary had an audition too and then…
First Meal: We eat a lot of waffles. Usually our favorite waffles are the ones we are eating. Today’s Fruity Corn Waffles were the best! I made a Date Paste to serve with it. This was decadent. Second Meal: On Sundays I go to tap class. Afterwards, I visited with my friend Linda who…
First Meal: This morning’s first course consisted of sliced Oranges. We went with the “Hotel Breakfast” again. It’s a favorite. Homemade Einkorn Wheat Bread with Almond Butter and Prune Butter. I am committed to eating two Apples a day. I had one at breakfast. We had a date to meet our friends John…
First Meal: The secret to enjoying Oatmeal day after day is having a big variety of toppings. Today the spelling ingredient was Mango. We also added Raisins, Apples and Sunflower Seeds. Second Meal: Dinner included a Romaine Lettuce Salad with Tahini Dressing. Our main plate featured Mashed Potaotes, Roasted Carrots, Broccolette and Tempeh Filets…
First Meal: Gary and I both had theatre auditions this morning in different locations in Manhattan. We both finished at about the same time and decided to celebrate our lives and treat ourselves to breakfast. We went to a chain restaurant we like a lot: Le Pain Quotidien. They have vegan options and some are…
First Breakfast: This is what I call a Hotel Breakfast. And I mean a European-style quality hotel breakfast with fresh breads. I made bread last week and froze most of it. We toasted some this morning and brought out the Almond Butter and homemade Prune Butter. This bread was made with organic Einkorn flour and…
First Meal: Fresh oranges are so delightful in the morning. Leftover Steel Cut Oats with Apples and Raisins are an easy breakfast. I ate it cold, no need to heat it. It tastes like dessert. Second Meal: I love using big Romaine Lettuce Leaves as wraps. Why don’t we do this more often?…
First Meal: I had an audition in the morning and Gary had acting class. I came home first, starving. We had not eaten anything this morning. I took out all the leftovers and thought I would make Baked Falafel. When the Falafel were almost done, Gary came home and I warmed up the Potatoes and…
First Meal: I did it! I made Soy Foam almost as good as Gary’s this morning. My Soy Foam typically deflates quickly. But today I took the time making it and it came out wonderful. Like Gary makes it. I made Steel Cut Oats too, served with Blueberries, Flax Seeds, Apples, Raisins, Cinnamon and Sunflower…
First Meal: I am having leftovers for breakfast, starting with Corn Chowder. Next up a slice of Ezekiel toast with Gary’s “Tuna” Salad, made with Garbanzo Beans. Second Meal: We went to Manhattan for a memorial service. It was quite sad. When we left the church it was snowing outside. We were by…
First Meal: We had leftover over Banana Coconut Cream from last night’s dessert. I could hear it screaming in my ear to be a part of breakfast. We poured it over Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries, Apples, Coconut and Walnuts. Second Meal: Gary had bought Einkorn flour the other day. He had a desire…
First Meal: Today I am at mom’s house. I typically visit once a week to do things for her. I hired a house cleaner recently and quickly learned I need to be there to keep mom distracted so the person can clean. My brother joined in the fun today and I was grateful to have…
First Meal: Yesterday was so cold and today? Beautiful! It was sunny and relatively warm. Gary suggested we eat out… on the terrace! We needed to wear sweaters but it was so lovely. The Rolled Oats with Apples, Raisins, Coconut and Soy Milk never tasted so good. Second Meal: You know how I love…
First Meal: Some days you just have to have Tofu Scramble. This was one of those days. I am lucky that Gary agreed to make it! We buried it with Nutritional Yeast and served it with Corn Tortillas. Second Meal: It was also a Green Zenphony Day. Just because. Bean Curd Platter Supreme for…
First Meal: I had a call back audition today for a show in Wisconsin. I’m excited! It was fun and I feel like I did very well. I came home and made a great salad with the fresh and firm Romaine Lettuce I bought at Fairway yesterday. The second course was a repeat of…
First Meal: Everybody has their handful of dishes they make all the time. We do too, but there are more than a handful. Buckwheat crepes is one of them. Every time I make them I marvel at how easy they are. I made mine savory with a Spinach filling, mixed with some of the Tomato…
First Meal: I love leftovers! Today’s were the best. Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Greens to start. Garbanzo Bean Flour Waffles with Almond Butter and Apricot Butter. Yum. Second Meal: Gary made a wonderful stew tonight, Roasted Red Bell Peppers mixed with Tempeh, Carrots, Rancho Gordo Marcella Beans and a Tomato Paste with Roasted…
