Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Baby Steps…
Now that I am working again I need to get myself back into the kitchen. I need to start making lunch again. It has been a long time since I cooked anything, sadly, and I’ll have to start again slow. Slow like with one of my easy favorites: pancakes. I made some for a late [...]
Chocolate Swirl Pancakes
Before it got too hot out, I got a little playful on the stovetop: chocolate swirl pancakes. Mixing two teaspoons of cocoa with a half cup of pancake batter, I marbled up my breakfast to make a slow morning of naming genres on my iTunes a bit more productive. Plus, I was heading back to [...]
Berry Baby
Strawberry pancakes–golden, thick and fluffy pancakes pebbled with slices of strawberry. Food Perfection. Use this recipe for perfect pancakes. Fruit salad with nothing but the best stuff. No pushing around boring cantaloupe and tasteless honeydew. Just the most coveted in the fruit salad: strawberries, pineapple and watermelon tossed with fresh mint. I am going to name this [...]
♥♥ Happy Hearts ♥♥
I am all riled reading In Defense of Food, by Michael Pollan of The Omnivore’s Dilemma fame [which, for shame, I've never read... because, frankly Scarlett, I don't have a dilemma]. I am enjoying the book a great deal, though not without a bad taste in my mouth. Refined flour has become appalling to me. As one of the [...]
{I’m Not Hungry} You Will Be. You… will… be.
Can you figure out what these are? They’re kind of the coolest thing ever to happen to pancakes. Star Wars pancake molds from Williams Sonoma. Yes, that’s an Imperial stormtrooper, Darth Vader and Yoda, a great birthday gift The Electrician received. Of course I just had to break them in with a batch of vegan [...]
[What I Am Doing on My Summer Vacation] {Part 1}
1. Watching the butterfly activity around the Electrician‘s butterfly bush. 2. Collecting hugs. 3. Trying to return to baking. Here is a two-layer orange cake with lemon glaze icing. For my Pop’s birthday. 4. Weekending in the Hamptons. That’s an outdoor shower next to the “Love Shack”. 5. Seeing the family. 6. Eating A LOT [...]
Mountain Time
Welcome to state #4 of the wandering Ford Focus mission: Colorado! After a long ride on the empty, desolate interstate north of Santa Fe, the highway expanded to three times its former width and a slew of drivers crowded the road to one of the country’s most rapidly growing boomcities… Denver, Colorado. Home to the [...]
Fall Cafe
I pass Fall Cafe in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Monday through Friday when I go to work. And Monday through Friday I look at the chalkboard sign hanging in the window announcing their Saturday-only vegan brunch plate! Thing is, I’m never near my job on Saturday. Usually I am nestled in a quiet dead-end in the [...]
These are a few of my favorite things: Pancakes
What can I say? I am all about a morning batch of pancakes. As long as I can remember I have had it bad for flapjacks. From when my mom used to mix up the boxed kind when I was a peon, to my taking over duties for the household years later, to my early [...]
{Vegan} Diners, Drive-ins and Dives {Providence, RI}
Doing a weekender in Providence, Rhode Island, it was time to explore the vegan side of this quaint New England city. For better or for worse, many of the spots we hit had previously been featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Suffice to say they were not exclusively vegan. In fact [...]
Hello, February.
2010 is moving pretty fast. With January tucked under its belt and vibrant floral dresses already in the shop windows, soon it’ll be time for Spring. Spring which seems an impossibility to my numb toes. Spring, the short stop before Summer which finds Fall too soon. And then ’11. But for now… Winter. And in [...]
Actually, I Am Never Eating Again. Period.
With the Wolf Moon, I ate ravenously this weekend. If it wasn’t the moon then it was the cold. And if it wasn’t the cold it was my hungry heart looking for satiety. Here’s the the start of the ever-afflicting relationship 15. The Electrician fed me well, whipping up the braised seitan with Brussels sprouts, [...]
