Tofu Scramble: So much better than stupid eggs!
I thought I'd start my first post with a picture of my breakfast from this morning — it was delicious and I just wish I could have shared it with all of you! Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for the recipe, although I did take a few liberties with the list of ingredients. But that's the best thing about the cookbook Vegan With a Vengeance, the author (mentioned earlier in Stacey's Favourite Cookbooks) encourages her readers to follow their hearts when it comes to vegan cooking, and not feel confined by the recipe's guidelines.
Stacey's favourite cookbooks
If you're at all interested in a vegetarian or vegan diet, the best way to get puuuuumped up about changing the way you cook is to get a book full of delicious-sounding recipes with deliciouser-looking pictures. It's all fine and good to just load up on the Yves Ground Round and alter your family favourites into less meaty versions, but here is an Important Fact: vegan food that is actually designed with vegans in mind is going to be much better than your weirdo make-do Hamburger Helper.
Bakery Review: Edible Flours
I am in desperate need of a disguise. There's a vegan bakery called Edible Flours that's one bus stop away from my office. I have been four times in two weeks, and it's always the same dude working there. I can only assume he's starting to recognize me. It's embarrassing.
Beautiful Blueberries
I would like to believe that I’m the resident vegan cupcake queen. Actually, as I think back (a whole year ago), I assumed I would be giving up my cupcake baking therapy when I decided to go vegan. For me, and I think for most people, ‘Vegan’ is synonymous with sacrifice (of deliciousness, not animals, that is) and naturally I felt like I was going to give up my foodie fetish ways when I made the switch. It wasn’t until after my conversion to the other side that I found out that vegan cooking would actually enhance my relationship with food and I could still be bffs with my cupcake pans.
In the beginning
Hello, friends (and snooping nemeses?). Welcome to our blog! It's on the internet! It's going to be about our adventures in vegan eating (as much as reading cookbooks and going to restaurants and musing about animal rights can be considered an adventure, anyways).
Who are we? Some young Canadian ladies, dabbling in the world of animal-free dining. I'm sure you'll like us. We're as charming as we are beautiful, though not quite as modest.
More to come very soon!
