Breakfast: Making big batches of whatever you plan on making is like giving a gift to yourself in the future when you get to enjoy the what is leftover. We were having a guest stay over, cousin Jared, so we made extra muffins that we could serve the next morning. We made a variation on…
Breakfast: I was feeling creative and savory scallion pancakes seemed like a good idea. I used to make them with rice flour but I don’t use rice flour much anymore, since we learned about how it can have high levels of arsenic. I came up with a new (and better) version for scallion pancakes and…
Breakfast: It’s corn bread for breakfast once again. It’s always good. Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collard Greens, Celery, Carrots, Lemon We are still in celebration mode, unwinding from our successful fundraiser 2 weeks ago along with my birthday. We went to Simple Veggie for some of our favorites: Veggie Beef Flat Noodles; Hot…
Breakfast: I was summoned to jury duty which meant getting up earlier than I am used to. I grabbed a banana, two Raw Revolution bars and two bottles of green tea. Dinner: This meal was clean and green! Steamed kale and collard greens with buckwheat. Daily Green Juice: consisting of kale, collards, celery,…
It’s been 2 weeks since I made a “What Vegans Eat” post. I was on a roll, posting daily for over two months and then things came to a crashing halt. The last few days before our Happy B’Earthday review were intense and there simply were not enough hours in the day for simple things…
Breakfast: We’ve turned the apartment into a practice theater to prepare for the Happy B’Earthday Revue. There is little time for anything else now. We are getting low on fresh food, and being without a car, we are making do with what we have, which is really still a lot. There was oatmeal, but no…
We had a lot to do this day. There was no time for breakfast. It started out with hair appointments, getting ready for our Swingin’ Gourmets performance at the Happy B’Earthday Revue. Gary filled a glass bottle of Bai Mu Dan White Tea to take with me. When we got back we had food to…
Breakfast: I was not hungry and I was excited the adventure we had planned for the day. We were off to Manhattan to pick up gift bag donations for our upcoming Happy B’Earthday Revue. I had a cup of Kukitcha Green Tea and a slice of dry, sprouted wheat toast. We were off. We…
We are just a few days away now from Earth Day and the Happy B’Earthday Revue. So much to do! There will not be much food prep in the next few days and it will be interesting to see what we do eat. Breakfast: Oatmeal is easy and we love it. We had it…
Breakfast: It was time for a regular favorite, buckwheat waffles. I eat them plain. Gary likes them with maple or agave syrup and peanut butter. And I made Jasmine tea. Lunch: I had made millet and red beans 2 days before anticipating making veggie burgers and finally got to it. It was worth the…
Before breakfast I had some errands to run. On the way home I passed a 7-11 store. I have never gone in this store but the new sign caught my attention: VEGAN FOOD! Breakfast: I love savory foods for breakfast and this was a good one: leftover corn cakes, millet and Greens with Thai…
Breakfast: We had a polenta bar! Creamy bowls of polenta with your chose of toppings: shredded coconut, chopped apple, pumpkins seeds, flax seeds and brown sugar with Bai Mu Dan white tea. Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Carrots & Lime Juice. Dinner: I made a big batch of millet in the morning…
Breakfast: It was a corny day! I made vegetable corn cakes, with a few modifications – using cooked vegetables from the evening before, adding some chile pepper and masala curry powder. I blended some pumpkin seeds with water and dill and made a lovely creamy sauce to top the corn cakes. We buy mostly all…
Breakfast: Oatmeal and Genmaicha Green Tea Lunch: We reheated the remaining black bean stew from the day before. Dinner: There was leftover brown rice that I reheated, added some apple cider vinegar and agave and made maki with sesame seeds and sweet potatoes. A quick miso soup was made with onions, carrots, shitake…
Breakfast: We warmed up the blueberry muffins made the day before and served them with peanut butter and some Genmaicha Tea. There was a little kale salad leftover and I finished it. Lunch: I was working at my desk and Gary surprised me with a delicious and energizing smoothie made with collards, strawberries, bananas,…
Breakfast: I’ve been making muffins for a long time. They are probably the easiest thing to bake and they come together fast. I use to make them with cow’s milk, eggs and oil, adding in wheat germ and bran, thinking that was healthy. A lot has changed since the 1980’s! I learned to veganize muffins…
Breakfast: We were putting together our music book for the upcoming Swingin’ Gourmets’ performance at the Happy B’Earthday Revue. There’s a lot of craft involved, cutting music, rearranging specific bars on the paper, whiting out and rewriting words. This required some serious oatmeal. Nothing but oatmeal, stick-to-your-ribs kind of oatmeal, would do and lots of…
I wasn’t thinking or was thinking of too many things and forgot to take photos of all the food I ate, so this post is image-limited. Breakfast: We had come to the end of the Quinoa balls. I enjoyed them, cold with Mint Tea and my daily Green Juice. Some thoughts on quinoa: Quinoa is…
Breakfast: It was the day after Easter and the Monday after a big weekend of holiday food. We craved simple, organic fruit: ripe succulent pears and crisp crunchy apples with jasmine tea. Lunch: A late lunch before an evening out consisted of kale salad with a variation of our Seed Caesar Dressing with added…
Breakfast: What to eat when you have a refrigerator full of leftovers? We had a lot of matzo balls, which are really quinoa balls. I sauteed some onions and mix them with the quinoa balls and added some leftover gravy from the Passover vegan brisket. Kukitcha was my choice of tea. Lunch: It was…
