Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Dear Oklahoma…
So Oklahoma City, yeah. This trip has officially come full-circle. We passed through Oklahoma at the start of our trip 12 days ago but did not stop. Even though I had discovered the raw restaurant 105 Degrees via ye olde google search, time was not on our side and we’d have to waste a good deal [...]
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 [...]
Vegan Linden’s Cookies
Do you remember these packaged cookies? I sure do. I loved them as a child. My mom used to bring them home from her job. I devoured them slowly, breaking off portions of each of the three cookies’ circumferences. I placed each piece on my tongue, like communion. Years later I found my high school cafeteria [...]
Food & Friends (not photographed)
Tall Guy recently hosted a hungry bunch for brunch. Though the theme of this event took on a life of its own, the delicious offerings of food and beverage were the constant. My offering was the pineapple upside-down cake from Vegan Table. This moist and sweet cake’s sugary drippings oozed from my undersized cake pan [...]
Sweet Treats For Sweet People
For friends who enjoy sweet vegan treats, Christmas stretches on and on for days. Below are my final gifts for giving, VCIYCJ‘s gorgeous caramel pecan bars… And sweet coconut and cashew dark chocolate bars, a kind of mistake that turned out quite delicious. The tower of sweetness, complete for Rocky Road cookie dividers, sat upon [...]
Christmas Cookie Marathon!
I had to be very selective about who received a holiday cookie care package this year. Next year, when I am through studying to be a master of the universe, you’ll all get them. The chocolate chip cookie is a must in any cookie assortment. Using Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar‘s recipe I got [...]
Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Guy
So there is this guy who bakes cookies. He makes them and sets up an inflatable green couch somewhere in New York City and gives them out the strangers. He is the Free Cookie Guy and I am a stranger. It’s a match made in heaven! Further, all his cookies are vegan. He doesn’t advertise [...]
Giving Thanks, Part I
I am thankful for friends who value food. Holidays, like Johnny Dangerously, are just another excuse to gather the gang and to eat… and eat well. 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 [...]
The calm before the storm…
I haven’t been in the kitchen much at all these days. But that will change very, very soon. The holiday marathon of cooking, pot lucks, food shares and Christmas cookies begins this weekend. And for the first time ever, I will be responsible for the entire Thanksgiving meal at my parent’s house. This is a colossal [...]
Vegan MoFo #23: Cookies for a Cause
A few weeks back I read this posting from Nicole at Another One Bites the Crust, one of my favorite vegan food blogs. The posting is not Nicole’s usual; none of her amazing food photography and yummy recipes. The post was a heartbreaking story of a young man named Alex who was in a terrible [...]
I am One Lucky Duck
One Lucky Duck juice and takeaway is Pure Food & Wine‘s to-go counter. Like PF&W, the high-end raw joint, One Lucky Duck is all raw but the focus is on sweet treats, quick juices and snacks. And much like the slew of eateries doing this type of thing (Candle 79/Candle Cafe, Blossom/Cafe Blossom, that Zen [...]
