More Food that wasn't for me






Iceberg Lettuce Wedge with homemade vegan blue cheese dressing. I found the recipe online somewhere vegweb.com maybe? I heard it was crazy blue cheesy tasting. Some omni friends were trippin out on it. It smelled funky like the real stuff. Buffalo Tempeh Wingz from Don't Eat Off the Sidewalk zine. I served them with the blue cheese, celery, and my Nana Dottie style green beans sans the soggy bacon. I LOVE these green beans. I just chop up an onion and stick it in the steaming basket, throw all the beans on top, and lightly steam. The onions infuse the beans with yumminess! Throw some EB, salt and pepper and you're done. SO GOOD. Some not very photogenic Chocolate Chip Cookies from JofVbaking. People said these were the best Choc Chip Cookies they have ever had. Well good for them.

Food I couldn't eat






because I was on the Master Cleanse. It was fun to make and smell though! Okay, the golden stream snacks I didn't make obviously but ewwwww. What a horrible name! Individual Heart Shaped Apple Galettes from Veganomicon. I heard these were overcooked but at least they look pretty. Baked Potato Soup with greens and a potato wedge crouton (also Vcon), tempeh bacon, and sourdough roll. Peanut Butter cookies from The Joy of Vegan Baking. Some had chocolate chips in 'em but i think they were all gone by the time I got around to taking a picture.

What I ate today



I had a green smoothie for breakfast (apples, spinach, lime, and a bananus). For lunch I made some raw nori rolls. They had baby greens tossed in creamy garlic dressing (Rawvolution by Matt Amsden) avocado, and tomatoes. Super YUM! For dinner I had what is quite possibly my favorite meal ever. I usually make it on Mondays so we call it Macro Monday around my house. Short Grain Brown rice (which I sprouted this time-I liked it and we got those GABAs too!) Adzuki bean and winter squash (i always use butternut) saute from Vegan Planet, steamed kale, and Ume plum vinegar. There are no words to describe my insane love for kale. My kids actually love this meal too and they both really dig the vinegar on it which surprises and pleases me. For dessert I think I might slice an apple and put slivers of dates on top (tastes just like a caramel apple I swear!) or some really dark chocolate! YAY
