It was a sporty day. First, it was The FedEx Cup (Bubba) in the morning at Bethpage’s Black Course. I’m a fan of Bubba. He’s a total weirdo. This is a good thing. And baseball in the evening! This is the joy of summers off, being free from a draining Read more…

Summer–on the way home. Summer–with mustard, onion, and relish. Summer–on the field.

Isn’t it amazing how days are neatly organized, bookended by the rising and setting of a bright, hot, great ball of fire? Goodness. Gracious. Inside them, other good things that bring you joy and sustenance, like a cracked chocolate-encased marshmallow… …Spring baseball in front of a plate of fruit-filled pancakes, with lots Read more…

The Sanctum has a fresh, vibrant vegan breakfast items that are the perfect start for a long day of sites. Any place with a mural like that is bound to deliver on plant-based goodies… equally important, kick-butt French press coffee equivalent to nine cups of hotel’s brown, hot water. Normally I Read more…

I enjoy a reason to cook all day. Not only does the Super Bowl offer that opportunity, it allows the menu to be gluttonous finger foods. This year I also took the opportunity to do some pantry turnover. I based my menu on what had spent too much time in Read more…

Before setting out on a road trip, a vegan has to consider how long it may be until a proper meal is available. Like a marathoner, it may be appropriate to load up on carbs to anchor the behind in for hours driving (not running). This is why I love Read more…

The Mets are in the play-offs. With a tough loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers last night, I’m baking up these blue and orange wonders. Let’s go Mets!

September means up at the crack of dawn to return to my Brooklyn classroom. Silver lining: Seeing the sun rise. G train suspended due to derailment. Silver lining: Brooklyn views. Driving to Brooklyn. Silver lining: good tempeh at Brooklyn Ball Factory. Vegan Shop-up being swarmed with human beings. Silver lining: Sweet Maresa‘s Read more…

I woke up in Cincinnati ready to say goodbye to Ohio. Ohio is chock full of metropolises… Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and other such C-words. But with this being my third day about, the inevitable turn back east had to be soon. So it was fare thee well, Ohio… But not Read more…

The second to last row in Citi Field is first row for the sunset viewing. First course munchies: A slice of V for Vegan from Two Boots‘s stand. Though I’m not a fan of the Daiya fake cheese, it’s a rule you get to splurge at the ballpark. Especially when your team is Read more…

The Super Bowl is great reason to make a lot of food. Counter-clockwise: I made potato skins, blank canvases for assorted fixings. Cashew sour cream. Field Roast corn dogs. Mini omelet bites from leftover batter. Green onion. Nacho cheese from Oh She Glows. Sauteed sweet peppers. And coconut whip brownie Read more…

Scoring some primo seats for a Brooklyn Nets game, that included all food, I made it my mission to find all the vegan eats at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn’s newish, rusted arena on Atlantic Avenue. Oh, and there was a basketball game on, as well. Like most arenas, there are Read more…

As a vegan, most food I eat softens up quickly. I enjoy tempeh because it offers some resistance. I made a kitchen sink marinade for these long strips and gave them a good sear. Pack a hoagie with caramelized onion and said tempeh strips and you got a heart sandwich fit Read more…

Coming up for air from the chaos of a new school year, I baked some “12 Men on the Field” cupcakes: rich chocolate cake (I used Chloe‘s celebration cake), vanilla buttercream filling, chocolate ganache-topped with a vegan royal icing football laces. 3 types of icings for every cupcake. I’m not Read more…

Before the baseball game, we hit the all-vegan bakery on Long Island, Sweet to Lick. I got the orange creamsicle cupcake. Then a vegan hot dog at Citi Field, with all the fixins. A delicious day topped with a free canvas of David Wright’s tongue.

Guacamole on guacamole action. I made more of that spectacular date caramel from Fork and Beans because I had a ton of dates staring at me every time I opened the fridge. and because I’d be partaking in a ton of savory bites. I fed the backyard my cored cupcake. The Read more…

Cashew-based nacho cheese with Brad’s Organic And Beanfields salty snacks. A cup o’ corn dog beer batter Skewered dogs Dip… and FRY!!! The Electrician partakes in the oily fun. Deep-fried in the cast iron. All fried up Superbowl 47 means gluttonous salty stuff.

Somehow the baseball season is now upon us! With 2012 lying fast and the spring sun shining strong, the second day of the Mets season proved to be the perfect day for a baseball. With nary a cloud in the sky, the Mets would continue undefeated. And for an exorbitant Read more…

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 Read more…

My first Mets game of the season and I chowed down on two loaded veggie dogs. I may have gotten a bit over-zealous with the fixin’s stand.

So what if Philadelphia sports fans have a terrible reputation… and the SEPTA subway trains are home to a human hostility I haven’t experienced in some time… and that the Phillies are whipping the Mets’ butts in the National League East… and that I had to take a certification exam Read more…

I made another visit to Citi Field recently, still pickled blue and orange that I can enjoy a hot dog and a beer and watch the game. Though I had originally intended to supplement my Vegan at Citi Field report from June with some information on the stand-alone booths (zeppole, Read more…

I kind of caught World Cup fever. It was hard not to with television, newspapers, chalkboard signs at bars and men at the bagel store hyping the rivalries and sensationalizing the sensation. Heck, even the supermarket was prepared with soccer cupcake liners! They were the last piece of a cupcake Read more…
