We got away! We got away! After 8 months of sheltering in place in NYC, we stepped out of our comfort zone, loaded up the car and drove to Lincoln, NH for a relaxing week in the woods. Since COVID-19 is still very much among us, though at very low rates in New Hampshire,…
French food. Vegan food. Some may think they are not compatible but I know French and Vegan go trés bien ensemble. French cuisine, especially in the south, includes lots of fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables, along with flavorful herbs. I was in the mood for French food all the way today. Here’s what we had.…
We have been sheltering-in-place for about 4 and a half months. Keeping a routine of exercise, singing and cooking helps keep us sane during these surreal times. We are grateful for the companies that we have been able to order excellent organic foods from, including Sun Organic Farm, Go Organic NYC, Fresh Direct and…
Yesterday was Earth Day and my birthday. I love that my birthday is on Earth Day. This year is unlike any other. The Earth is showing us with the Coronavirus that we cannot take her for granted. When we abuse the Earth and other living species and exploit them, she will fight back and win.…
The What Vegans Eat daily blog officially ended in February but occasionally we’ll come back to share some news about food. We are following the stay inside order during this Corona Virus Pandemic. For Passover, we spent time over Zoom with family as many did, conducting the traditional Seder. I made Matzohs! Here’s a…
First Meal: I woke up with a craving to bake muffins. Blueberry Muffins. I used to make muffins a lot. When I went to look at some of the muffin recipes we have here I knew I had to start upgrading. This new Blueberry Muffin recipe is better than before, using my own homemade gluten-free…
First Meal: Today’s Oats are topped with Cacao Nibs, Coconut, Apples, Blueberries and Raisins. Second Meal: The last of the recent leftovers came together in a Tomato Vegetable Stew served with Mashed Potatoes. Third Meal: It was late and I was hungry. I made a big Kale Salad with Green Onions and Grated…
First Meal: I got up super early for another audition. I was determined to be one of the first on the list so I could get an early appointment and be done quickly. I succeeded. I was one of the first ten in line and the second person to sing for the show I wanted.…
First Meal: You can’t tell but this is a bowl of Oats, smothered with Blueberries and Coconut. Second Meal: The bean du jour is the Rancho Gordo Cranberry Bean. We had them on Corn Tortillas with Quinoa, Avocado and Tomato Cashew Cream Sauce
First Meal: For dessert or breakfast, I am nuts over Thin Stackers with Almond Butter and Date Paste. Sliced Oranges and a little Cashew Yogurt on the side completed the plate. Second Meal: Today was housecleaning day for mom and I sit with her so the housekeeper can do her work. Afterwards I made…
First Meal: Gary and I were going in super early for more auditions today. We arrived at Actor’s Equity at about 7:45am and there was another big crowd of people waiting. This time we were numbers 51 and 52. At 8am they let us upstairs to the audition rooms. We got our times. I chose…
First Meal: Gary was going to try to cram in an audition but in the end he got up a little later in the morning and went to his acting class. I prepared some music for what I want to sing for tomorrow’s auditions and I ate a Banana. Second Meal: We were both…
First Meal: Here’s another version of what I call a Hotel Breakfast, fresh fruits and baked breakfast breads. I couldn’t wait to have another couple of Apricot Danishes that I made yesterday. We had them with fresh sliced Oranges, Apples and Bananas. Gary made the Teeccino with his excellent Soy Foam. Second Meal: I…
First Meal: I love waking up on a Saturday morning and baking. I went to sleep with Gooey Apricot Danishes on my mind. I made up the recipe four years ago based on a memory Gary had and haven’t made them since. In reviewing the recipe I came up with some improvements. The result was…
First Meal: Gary and I got up super early again but this time we were both going to the same audition. What fun to be able to do this together. It almost made the pain of getting up early somewhat bearable. We arrived at Actors Equity at about 7:45am and the waiting room was full.…
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…
