Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
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 [...]
Food Miscellany: Catch Up
Back at 3 Brothers again. I plan to take full advantage of this place’s proximity to me. There is so much to try too. This time, we got a little fancy-pants and ordered the eggplant rollatini appetizer, which was as huge as a stand alone meal. What I love about 3 Brothers is how generous [...]
2010 So Far: Gluttony
There’s something about 1/1 that motivates change. Yes, I subscribe to that New Years philosophy of renewal and growth, mostly because I appreciate the year as a unit of measurement, appreciate a set span of time to classify with a numerical code, appreciate some kind of end-point. I remain awed by 2009, what I managed [...]
Get Thee Into the Kitchen
I’ve recently emerged from a kitchen hiatus, being inundated with a variety of pressing obligations and commitments. So as I catch my breath, I resist the urge to click for lunch delivery. I take baby steps back in the kitchen. Here’s how to get your groove back: Roasting veggies is an easy start: cut, toss [...]
Giving Thanks, Part III:
I am thankful to survive, and thrive, through the love and support of friends. Thanksgiving plans changed drastically at the last minute due to reasons a trained psychologist will need to help me understand. Luckily, I was able to find a place to feast. Here are the highlights: CP‘s almond pignoli cookies. With a hefty [...]
Back In the Seattle Again
From author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, on the floor of P.C.C. Natural Market in Fremont. River House CreperieWest SeattleRive House is a darling little creperie right off the West Seattle Bridge that offers a vegan gluten-free batter as a base for all their sweet and savory crepes. I opted for a simple strawberry and banana [...]
