peanut butter & jelly sandwiches are 'accidentally vegan'.
wow i didn't know kraft (ie phillip morris) owns boca! although i stopped eating boca burgers due to the hydrolyzed vegetable protein, this still kinda pisses me off.
tonight i had posole stew--yum! the posole takes a while to cook but it's not that bad if you soak the kernels over night beforehand.
what was in it: water, posole, anasazi beans, yellow squash,...
you should check out a trader joe's. i've never dumpstered there (they don't have them in new mexico) but i've heard stories about how awesome their dumpsters are. if i find any good dumpsters when...
i would be interested in the recipe too--maybe you could post it in sections.
the plain variety of boca burgers are vegan but... they have hydrolyzed veggie proteins in them which contain msg--no wonder they taste so good!
thanks--that website has a lot of cool stuff on it. real food daily in beverly hills has a brunch where they serve vegan french toast & bacon--i'm hyped!
i would be worried about getting sick. i've only been vegan for 2 years but if i went back to eating meat & dairy right now, it would make me so ill.
a friend of mine was in peru with her dad &...
weekday "breakfast" for me is just green tea but my favorite thing to have on weekends for breakfast is scrambled tofu w/veggies (usually mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and squash) & lots of spices...
does cooking potatoes break down any of the undesirable compounds?
that rules! i like mushrooms too but organic ones are so expensive. i want to grow mushrroms--can you give me a hint at where to start? thanks.
i grew up in wyoming. if there's a worst place to be vegan... i was not vegan in high school but i hung out with vegan straight-edge kids. they were the unhealthiest people ever. when i read "why...
the classic: "diet for a new amercia" by john robbins. it completely converted me & it reads pretty fast. he also has a new book out called "the food revolution" which might be a better bet because...
what i usually use as an egg sub in recipes is 1 tsp of arrowroot powder + 1 tsp of water. this works well becasue it makes stuff light & fluffly (i use it pancake mix & works perfectly). however,...
There's probably no Albuquerque vegans in here but if anyone is ever in the area here's the goods on vegan eating here:
restaurants:
El Patio - they have New Mexican food with awesome vegetarian...
hi
What about stuff that's called "naturally milled"? Also if it's organic does it necessarily mean that it was "naturally milled"? i'm pretty sure succanate is vegan but that's the only kind i've...
thanks!! I'm not sure what the area i'm going to be living in is called (it's next to ucla) but it's definitely the westside so i'm happy. I might email you once i move for some more tips :)
john robbins (aka the guy who wrote diet for a new america) wrote an article about soy & he addresses pretty much every point that's been brought up about how soy might be bad. i found it quite...
finding a good oil is hard.
soy oil has a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (as does corn oil i think). i know grapeseed oil is good for cooking because it can be heated fairly high (higher than...
i love seitan! i have a friend who makes it all the time & i guess it's kinda complicated. he leaves in the freezer for days to get the consistency right (he makes chicken-fried seitan with it).
...
i do baking with liquid oils & it works fine.
i know when you heat certain oils to a high enough temperature it does something to them & that solid oils (like cocnut oil) can withstand higher...
i live in albuquerque right now but i am moving to LA in a month & it would be nice to hear from some vegans who live there: know any good restaurants? I'm a big fan of the oriental seitan "meat"...
Does baking something with oil in it automatically turn it into trans-fat? Or is it certain kinds of oils??
i said dismissed because there are still many situations where i feel like i'm purposely having obstacles put in my way.
for example, i went to an open house at a university that i had been...
Chocolate!!!
my roommate had some B12 supplements that had some outrageous RDA value (33,333% ) & so we had taken to biting off little crumbs of them so as not to overdose. However....i still had no idea how much...
same here. i heard that as long as you're eating enough calories (& not just eating crap :) ) that you're getting enough protein unless you're doing intense athletic training.
also there's worry...
posole is a veggie stew that i make all the time & it's really easy to cook but it takes a long time beacuse the posole kernals must be boiled for at least 3-4 hours (but usually the longer you cook...
i've never heard of durain--what is it????
there's a new asian market that opened up here recently & it has sooo many fruits i've never heard of & wouldn't know what to do with. i got a guava...
i try to keep my O3:O6 ratio in check but it's hard... i often crave fish & i think it must be cuz i'm not getting enough o3's....
as far as stuff i eat all the time:
burritos, scrambled tofu...
