Let us know what you think!
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. …
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?…
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…
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 …
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…
Breakfast: You’ve seen these before, our REAL corn bread, this time made into corn muffins. It’s an easy favorite. We had them with Apricot Butter and English Breakfast Tea. Lunch: There was still some Kohlrabi purée leftover from a few days ago. I had it plain and simple and Gary spiced his bowl with…
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…
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…
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…
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…
When people talk about food, they often mention cravings. I never crave animal foods for a number of reasons. I haven’t eaten them in a very long time. The #1 reason for me is knowing that non human animals are not “its” or “things” or “food”. They are thinking, feeling, sensitive beings, like human animals.…
I love tea. Lately I have been enjoying some of the lighter green and white tea varieties. We order mostly from Arbor Teas in bulk, organic, fair trade, loose leaf teas, which are proudly stored in tins in our tea drawer. We were out of black tea for a short time and when our…
We keep some crazy hours here at Responsible Eating And Living. We have begun to prepare for our first fundraiser in New York, since we launched the organization in 2011. You can find more about it here. We got up late and I was craving savory Japanese food, starting with miso soup. I chopped up…
Breakfast: When I need inspiration for what to eat for breakfast I go to the Responsible Eating And Living App on my phone and look for the recipes I love. We typically have a variety of gluten-free flours and starches on hand along with nut and seeds, nut and seed butters, homemade fruit butters…
Breakfast: The big pot of millet I made a few days ago was finished this morning with cold millet cereal served with coconut milk. It was quick, easy and good. Our coconut milk is made from creamed coconut and water. No extra added anything. Daily Green Juice: Kale, collards, Celery, Lemon, Lime …
With the extra millet I made yesterday breakfast came together quickly: Breakfast: Millet Cereal, version 2 with apples, apricots, flax seeds and coconut milk. Served with orange slices and Bai Mu Dan White tea. Daily Green Juice: Kale, Collards, Celery, Beets, Carrots, Lemon. We skipped lunch again but I did nibble on…
