Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Super. Vegan. Products.
Instead of looking at Tom Brady’s big head, I am blogging during the Super Bowl. I made killer nachos with some goodies from Vegan Essentials knowing things would be a little hectic at The Electrician‘s. First, Wayfare Mexi Cheddar cheese… this was the only flavor that was in stock but it is what I would have [...]
Cherry Vanilla Pound Cake
There is an efficiency to pound cake. Maybe because you don’t need to bother with a frosting, maybe because there is more cake packed in its bite. Either way, a good vanilla pound cake can fulfill a multi-leveled craving: sweet, cakey, buttery and a decadent fruit companion. I made this gorgeous golden vanilla pound cake [...]
Processed Food
Processing pumpkins is fool-proof. Make a sloppy cut around your pumpkin and scoop out its innards. What a delightfully slimy feel the pumpkin’s stringy fibers have. Overcook in an oven until tender flesh takes an easy puncture. Scoop to the back of the skin and puree and you’re done! I used the white Lumina pumpkin [...]
Vegan in Toronto, Part 2: Hibiscus Sweet & Savory Crepes and Heavenly Bunners
Last minute low-ball bidding on Priceline is a skill I can add to my resume. Being V.I.V.B. (very important vegan bloggers), we needed a safe haven to recuperate from a long day of eating. Luckily, the boutique Indigo Hotel gave us a $100 room for about $50 bucks. After some restful sleep, an invigorating session in [...]
Vegan New England, Part 5: Divine Treasures
Heading back to New York from Massachusetts, I thought I’d multi-task. Though barely an hour above New York, I hardly ever find myself with time to spare in Connecticut. So after a requisite google search, I found a interesting vegan lead, a mid-way stop before home. Divine Treasures, a vegan gluten-free chocolate shop in Manchester, [...]
In the 4-0-1
Julian’s in Providence, Rhode Island has fantastic vegan brunch options. Traveling to another state for veggie dining adds a bit more pressure to the ordering process. There you sit with a long list of delicious-sounding options–sweet ones, savory ones, personal favorites–but you must only have one. Luckily at Julian’s you can order a half portion of [...]
sweet things
I made two batches of roll-out cookies to load in my gun. Here is said gun with its array of cookie press designs. For my first time, I headed over to my nieces’ After whipping up the dough and combining to form a marble design. Niece Ashley looks at the baking cookies. Don’t they look [...]
Week’s End
Curdling almond milk. Cooling vanilla cupcakes. Cara cara, exposed. The princess, her sneer–real and plush–and the momma. Patty Day cupcakes Aerial on the cat table.
Ninth Avenue: Vegan Heaven
For four months my vegan gal pals have been scheduling and rescheduling a trip to Cocoa V. Finally: we came, saw and left with bloated bellies. But first… Blossom De Jour, high-end Blossom’s “shrewd” fast food sister, has recently taken space next to NYC vegan landmark, Cocoa V. So naturally, before laying down a layer [...]
What’s New: Food Update
There is a little Indian convenience store next to my Sunday restaurant favorite, Dosa Diner, in Hicksville, Long Island. In this store you can find a ton of cheaply priced pantry staples, many aligned with Hindu vegetarianism. It is worth a stopping by– their products are tremendously cheaper than the very same items sold at [...]
} Cupcake Intermission {
In between the hullabaloo of the start of a new school year, here is a sweet bite of marble cupcake to match my marble notebook.
Here’s the Scoop
Listen Staples commericals and every Sunday newspaper circular: “It is still summer!” I cry out, grasping at every hour, every minute of my dwindling summer vacation. So while it is still appropriate, homemade ice cream! I headed home to Long Island to try out Wheeler‘s Vegan Scoop chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with my Mom’s [...]
