I’ve been PRETTY good… about getting a post up every day for MoFo.

I think the whole concept of a virtual celebration of food… ideas & recipes shared among vegans, vegetarians, and people just thinking about it.

Dinner last night was pretty simple. We took some whole wheat tortilla chips… some vegan cheese… some vegan refried beans… salsa… home made guacamole… onions… tomatoes… shredded lettuce – and, there you have it. Dinner on the run. We were in a hurry to our son’s first walk onto the football field as a band guy… he’s in 8th grade and they had a special middle school night. I’m thinking that next year we’ll be there quite a bit.

But I digress.

What was I talking about?

Oh, yeah. Food.

I mean, I’m a freakin’ vegan, what do I eat? I hear that all the time. “You are? Really? What do you eat?” And the ever infamous “where do you get your protein????????”

Ahhhh… I never tire of hearing those things.

Well, maybe I do. At least a little.

So, back to the food thing. Breakfast today… was a treat.

Made LightLife vegan sausage on the griddle (YOU have to TRY these… they are AMAZING)… and some drop biscuits (see recipe – here) … and a Tofu Scramble.

Was a yummy way to start the day.

Well, wasn’t really the start. Ya see, I got up and had this BRIGHT idea that I would combine a need to take 30 pieces of clothing to the dry cleaner… a NEED to work out… and a NEED to be green. So – rode my bike. Looked like a pack mule or a disenfranchised person sans home… my cool trendy saddle bags bulging a the seams, suits and shirts barely staying contained inside.

And I rode like this. For five miles. To my dry cleaner. Turns out they don’t open until 9 (according to the door)… but actually 9:30 (according to the hand made sign in the window).

Time to find another dry cleaner. Which I did. In fact, quite a bit closer to home. We’ll see how they do.

But back to food. Where was I?

Oh, yeah. Lunch.

For Lunch… I decided to spice it up a bit and make COLE SLAW. Believe it or not, I’ve NEVER made it before. Found a great recipe from How It All Vegan… 1/2 cabbage, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup veganaise, 2 chopped apples… it called for caraway seeds, but I was out so I opted to skip ’em.

Threw that together… and made a quick wrap of bbq tofu… veganaise… and a little vegan cheese. Wrap it up… paninni press… and another whoo hoo to a great, quick, easy meal at home.

So why is it it takes me two hours to cook dinner every night? I can do breakfast (including home made biscuits, sausage, and tofu scramble… ) in a matter of 15 minutes. Lunch – including home made cole slaw … in 20. But dinner? That’s a production.

At least everyone likes it… and we get a little healthier every day.
