Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
B.L.T.
Some days are meant for doing nothing. That’s right, no-thing. Even this B.L.T. seemed to be too much effort. Toasting bread, frying up tempeh leftovers, slicing veggies and spreading Vegenaise was about all I could take. I don’t even know what I sprinkled on the potatoes before throwing them in the oven. So here, a [...]
The Real-Deal Vegan Brunch
On sunny Sunday, August 1, 2010, I found inspiration in the pages of The Electrician‘s omnivorous cook books as he manually labored in his yard. A proper vegan bunch! Complete with the works: traditional brunch staples, both sweet and savory, served on vintage China and vividly colored fabric with tasty adult beverages… a brunch that [...]
What’s on the Vegan Table?
I got Vegan Table for Christmas last year and have barely cracked its spine. Looking for “week eats” to help stretch out my swiftly diminishing summer funds, I whipped up a couple of yummy recipes I thought would last the week. First, I wanted a hearty potato dish, because potatoes re-heat so well, but also wanted something [...]
The Staff of Life
It has been a while since I made bread. It has been a while since I made anything besides breakfast actually. Knowing that I need a solid bread foundation if I am ever to return to the kitchen to whip up my own meals, I made a huge loaf to inspire the remainder of the [...]
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
Deep Thoughts: While I was driving south down the I-35 today, in the “road zone”, I began to think about… [wait for it]…human beings. I began to think about how it was that a lower order of primates evolved to eventually have me sitting snug in a moving machine, barreling down a leg of this [...]
Beautiful Moab, Utah
Setting off bright and early from the very cheapo Lazy Lizard Hostel in Moab, CandyPenny and I skipped breakfast and coffee, making a b-line to Arches National Park and its gorgeous collection of natural sandstone arches. We had planned to enter the park in time to view the hot rocks during sunrise but an alarm clock [...]
Vegan Missionaries
Home has many shapes and forms. This particular evening, in Green River, Wyoming, it came in the form of the Coachman Inn, yes, but more the huge sky and rock formations that surrounded the cluster stop on the way to the great Flaming Gorge. But morning brought us back onto I-80 West, heading to our [...]
Woke Up in Texas
My head is all sorts of pounding. With the school year ending Monday afternoon and my flight to Austin, Texas on Wednesday morning, my body crunks and shimmies clumsily towards grasping a new routine. But my next two weeks won’t offer this part of me, the part of me that thrives off order and predictability, [...]
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 [...]
East Side, Represent
Counter is the East Village’s best veg spot in my humble opinion. It is a bit on the costly side so I haven’t been there but twice. Once in 2008, which seems like 5 minutes, ago for their spectacular brunch, and again in the twenty-ten with my dear CandyPenny for a catch-up /I can’t believe [...]
{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 [...]
What’s the Best Vegan Burger in New York City? [Part 1]
That is the question. A good, hearty and satisfying veggie burger is an occasional must. And luckily it they’re pretty much a menu staple at both veg and omni eateries alike. But where to go? A group of vegan field reporters and I bring you this expansive report on the good, the bad and the [...]
