Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Packing
Spending an overnight with the entire 5th grade class of 2011 at a Club Getaway, I knew food selection would be lacking. I packed some goodies to ensure I wouldn’t waste away. Packing essentials: glycerine soap, hand sanitizer, soymilk, corn nuts, sesame sticks, Happy Baby mango puree, Plum Organics super puffs–purples, Sweet & Sara‘s marshmallows, [...]

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 [...]
Use It or Lose It Mode
With a slew of produce from Fresh Direct panting in their plastic bags in my refrigerator, tonight I was in “use it or lose it” mode. This mode refers specifically to my disgust of food waste, my want for efficiency and my need to make lunch for the week. With the weather crappy and the [...]

The hiatus-ed FoodSparrow and her dapper gent hosted a wonderful vegan Thanksgiving potluck over the weekend in their gorgeous Park Slope apartment and we all managed to knock each [...]
Irrational Love of the Beet
Dear Beets, I like the way you stay on my hands for hours, how peeling your earthened skin reveals the most vibrant purple-red. I think you invented purple-red. If I were born a root in the ground I, too, would grow the most vivid innards, like yours. I’d let my color bleed and ooze in [...]
Raw, Day 2
It’s day two and time to step it up a notch. Having a craving for a non-wet nourishing goody en route to class, I treated myself to a package of Raweo! by Blessings Alive & Radiant Food. At $8.69 a bag, they were a When In Rome-ism, a sign of my commitment for this raw [...]
Raw, Day 1
Day 1 of my raw week went well. I was impressed with how satiated I was and how energetic I felt all day. A breakfast of ground almonds, sunflower seeds and pepitas will do that, I guess. But once evening rolled around, however, I was craving bread, pretzels, pancakes and, strangely, Alphabits cereal. Hmmm. Wok [...]
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 [...]
