Divvies / Allergen-stricken & Vegans Unite
I’m always on the hunt for new vegan items and brands! If they happen to be new vegan chocolate chip cookies, well even better. The story of Divvies is much like many of the allergen-free baking companies… someone wanting to make sure the allergen-stricken has satisfying and yummy treats. Being a vegan, I appreciate the [...]
Full Moon Fever/Too Lazy to Write or Link Anything
Vegan vanilla sheet cake at Whole Foods. My cheddar Daiya ziti with tofu-ricotta dollops Shredded beet and parsnip salad with pineapple vinagarette (a la Veganomicon)
Sauerkraut Rye Bread
I want to pickle things. This is on my list of food to-do’s. In the meantime, I’ll make bread with pickled things within. When I put a bread machine on my Christmas wish list, I knew I wanted to experiment. I knew I wanted to infuse all my favorite foods into rising yeast. Now that [...]
The Staff of Life
For the past two years I have made yearbooks to celebrate the turning of time’s speedometer. Fiddling with Blurb‘s bookmaking software in December, I was forced to meditate on just how much I could fill in a week, a month, a year. In 2009, the me in January was lifetimes away from who I became 11 [...]
Vegan Doughnuts (or donuts, whichever I feel like typing)
Vegan Treats makes some damn good doughnuts. Good, like, a decadent pillow of fried goodness, damn good donut. Not a circular airy cake but a cream-filled, ooey, gooey, cover-your-mouth-in-fantastic-film… needing to gargle with black coffee kind of damn good. A donut. Like I remember from my non-vegan days. After eating a few lifetimes worth of [...]
Dear World,
Dear Birds, I know it’s been awhile since you’ve all seen each other and all but can you please use your inside chirps in the morning. You’d think my apartment building was constructed in those seeds they make bells out of the way you guys flock to my window. Dear Columbia University academic regalia, The [...]
The Last Day of Spring Break
A week and a half out of the classroom and I was a bit irked I had nothing to show for it in the refrigerator. Realizing the end of my free time was near I rose at the crack of dawn to beat the day mayors to the supermarket and maneuver my double-decker cart gracefully [...]
Addy
It has been awhile since I have made something that wasn’t edible. My craft desk, sewing machine, miles of cross-stitch floss and pile of fabric has beared with my studies. Unfortunately, a normal week of work and school does not allow for discretionary crafting. But with spring break catch-up under my belt, I was inspired [...]
Giving It Away
Still getting acclimated with my breadmaker, I’ve learned that I can barely put a dent in a 2 lb. loaf during the week. My olive and kale-pesto loafs had to find new life as croutons and, given my limited use of croutons, new homes. Determined to not waste them I tripped to an office building [...]
Can We Just Pause And Appreciate the Beet For A Moment?
I often pledge my love for the beet. And I’m going to do it again. I love the beet for its taste, yes, but also because its gorgeous, vibrant color (See here and here). But today we are going to pause and appreciate its snarly tentacle. The beet looks like some sea creature or some [...]
Beating the Hangover [Vegan Version]
Bliss‘s Vegan Breakfast Burrito I don’t know about you but the morning after a night of drinking, I am nutrient-starved. I crave a variety of tastes and textures, and their accompanying nourishment. Hangover remedies are much like old wives tales. But through the years of trial and error after a night of drinking errors, I [...]
