Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Easy Like Monday Evening
Do you know what’s going on with tomatoes these days? I’ve seen signage in the supermarket with weather-related explanations, but I forget… Besides this and my ordering only 2 measly plum tomatoes thinking I was ordering 2 pounds, they arrived a pathetic light orange red. My plan for a quick and easy lunch for the [...]
B-day at A-bistro
Happy Birthday CandyPenny! It was the lady’s choice for dinner so we hit Abistro, an upscale yet homy spot for a quality meal in Fort Green, Brooklyn. Abistro is most certainly not a vegan restaurant though tofu is able to be subbed in the majority of their entrees. They sure know their medium and the value of [...]

Henry that I was employed by my fieldwork school, that I had gotten my certification, completed [...]

The quest for pantry turnover and a fresh beginning of 2010 continues! Making my class a batch of mini-cupcakes for their celebratory pizza party used up an old bag of confectionary sugar, right in time for my upcoming sugar detox, and a container of hydrongenated waxy sprinkles I inherited from my last classroom that was taking [...]
Vegan Arizona Report
Green 2240 N Scottsdale Rd # 8 Tempe, AZ 85281 (480) 941-9003 This adorable 100% vegan cafe seemed to congregate hipsters from Arizona’s woodwork (different hipsters, ones that smile at you) and rightfully so! Their “new American vegetarian” menu was jam-packed with options ranging from soup/sandwich-y to Asian-infused bowls to frozen treats and sweets. The [...]
