Well-fed Vegan

Finally, after months of hits and misses and eating like a five-year-old, I have concocted and executed my first successful recipe!
I’ve been hankering for hearty comfort food lately. I even bought the ingredients to make my former food nemesis Chili Mac. So I hit the Web and my fledgling library of cookbooks to find a [...]

Vegan on vacation

It’s not exactly a vacation so much as going to see my premature nephew. Whatever you wanna call it, I’m in Arkansas, and I’m already discovering that sticking to all aspects of my diet (vegan and healthy) are going to be damn near impossible. First off, no one else in the family knows I’m vegan, [...]

SUCCESS!

So, after much tweaking, piddling and consulting with Cam, I’ve struck baked good gold. FINALLY.
First off, the brownies! Turns out the nutritionals on this were a little better than I thought. Points value is still the same, but when I used the exact numbers off the box instead of Weight Watcher’s generic ‘brownie mix’ entry [...]

More adventures in (almost) vegan cooking

I wish I had the time (and not to mention the gadgets and ingredients) for all the really awesome looking food [...]

Same old story

Work schedule shenanigans prevent me from doing an in-depth post about ‘Twilight’ or Adore and I desperately need to get to those at some point.
However, can someone please explain dudes to me. I really don’t get them. AT. ALL. OK, I should say there’s just one in particular that stumps me. Otherwise known simply as [...]

Various Odds and Ends

First off, my nephews are spending time with Mom right now in Virginia and Mom sent me this wonderful shot.

Aren’t they cute?! Zachary, 8, is on the left and Tristan, 5, is on the right. They rock!
Baking News: I broke down and bought a vegan brownie mix and just subbed in ingredients. Yes, it’s cheating; [...]

Going Veg … is harder than it sounds

Giving up meat in everyday cooking was easy enough. Especially since I’m taking it slow and gradually giving up meat instead of just dropping it all at once. Boca burgers are deceptively good and I love the hell out of beans anyway. I like veggies, too, so that takes care of that. Fruit is the [...]

Brownies!! (Update)

The second time’s the charm!! These fluffed up properly and everything. I haven’t tasted them yet, but yay!

I’m supposed to be writing a review of ‘Twilight’ but instead, I put my meager vegan baking skills to work.
They’re not great, but they’re a start!
