katherine – vegan fail :(

July 30, 2010 - katherine. Tags: Uncategorized

breakfast from Think Coffee: toasted everything bagel with Tofutti cream cheese and sprouts; double espresso

lunch: spinach noodles with tofu and vegetables (by Macro Vegetarian)

snacks at going-away party for co-worker: tortilla chips with salsa, mango guacamole, and tomato+corn guacamole; cherries; Double Stuf Oreos; Labatt Blue (vegan according to Barnivore); Corona (vegan according to Barnivore)

The vegan fail was that I bought tortilla chips to the party but I was not the person who put out the food, so when I saw a bowl of tortilla chips, I assumed they were the ones I brought. So I started eating those with a salsa, and then after a few chips someone said, “I love these Tostidos Hint-of-Lime chips!”, which aren’t vegan, and which had filled the bowl instead of my chips. Oops.

dinner: leftover spinach noodles; Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili chips (I believe the only vegan Doritos?)

Magic Hat #9 (vegan according to Barnivore) at Fang Banger (with Norah Jones!) show

the salsa verde doritos are vegan too! mel and i looked for the sweet spicy chili ones after you posted that they are vegan, because doritos are pretty much mel’s favorite food, but we couldn’t find them anywhere.. maybe they haven’t made it to texas yet!

- Shortbread Cookie
  1/4 cup earth balance, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1.75 cups flour, 1 cup sugar. soften earth balance and oil, mix in sugar until well-blended, then add flour until blended, form into whatever shape you like. poke each cookie with a fork. bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
- North-and-South-of-the-Border Wild Rice Salad
  - 2 c uncooked wild rice
  - 5 c water (or however much you need to cook your wild rice)
  - 3 corn cobs
  - 3 shallots, minced
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1-3 jalapeños, seeds discarded, minced (1 is very mild; 3 is spicy)
  - 1.5 T olive oil
  - 1 T white balsamic vinegar
  - juice of 1/2 lime
  - pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  - handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped
  - salt and pepper
  Cook the wild rice and let cool. Grill or roast the corn (to roast, this method works well, baking for 30 minutes at 350F in the husk or in aluminum foil), then cut off the kernels (it's fun to keep some of the kernels attached to each other). Saute the shallots, garlic, and jalapeño in 1/2 T olive oil on medium heat, adding salt and pepper to taste, until cooked (3-4 minutes). Toss together the rice, sauteed vegetables, remaining olive oil, and the rest of the ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add more olive oil, vinegar, and lime if desired.

- Apple Sage Quinoa
  - 1 c dried quinoa
  - 1-2 potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 carrots, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 T olive oil
  - 1 onion, chopped
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - an inch of ginger, minced
  - 10+ leaves of fresh sage, minced
  - crushed red pepper
  - chili powder
  - oregano
  - salt and pepper
  - 1 apple, chopped into small cubes
  - 1 can diced or crushed tomatoes (optionally replace half with tomato-chili sauce)
  - 1/4 c macadamia nuts, chopped (optional)
  - 1/4 c cilantro (optional)
  - 1/4 c scallions, chopped (optional)
  - splash apple cider vinegar (to taste, maybe 2 tsp?)
  Cook quinoa according to directions.
  
  In a pot, add potatoes and carrots and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook for a few more minutes, until just starting to cook, but not until too soft (like you would do with home fries).
  
  Saute onion, ginger, and garlic in the olive oil. After a few minutes, add the cooked potato and carrot, and cover. After a few more minutes, add the spices (sage, crushed red pepper, chili powder, salt, and pepper), and cover again.
  
  Cook until the potato and carrots are soft. At this point, add the apple, and saute for another minute or two. Then, add the tomatoes and macadamia nuts. Once hot, add the cilantro, scallions, and apple cider vinegar, plus more salt if needed.
