I’ve been PRETTY good… about getting a post up every day for MoFo. <\/p>\n
I think the whole concept of a virtual celebration of food… ideas & recipes shared among vegans, vegetarians, and people just thinking about it. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
But I digress.<\/p>\n
What was I talking about?<\/p>\n
Oh, yeah. Food.<\/p>\n
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????????”<\/p>\n
Ahhhh… I never tire of hearing those things. <\/p>\n
Well, maybe I do. At least a little.<\/p>\n
So, back to the food thing. Breakfast today… was a treat. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Was a yummy way to start the day. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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). <\/p>\n
Time to find another dry cleaner. Which I did. In fact, quite a bit closer to home. We’ll see how they do. <\/p>\n
But back to food. Where was I? <\/p>\n
Oh, yeah. Lunch. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
At least everyone likes it… and we get a little healthier every day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
