breakfast: banana and a slice of chocolate chip pumpkin spice bread

snack: pretzels

lunch: leftovers from Everlasting Life

more snacks: pumpkin seeds and another slice of chocolate chip pumpkin spice bread (I have eaten about 12 meals in the last 24 hours, what’s wrong with me? maybe it’s because i’m moving today and i have done everything i can to avoid packing)

dinner: leftovers from Everlasting Life. I am almost finished with them, but I saved a little to have to tomorrow

drinks: Miller High Life from Wonderland (I previously confirmed with the company that it is vegan.  in case you forgot, here is their response.  maybe we can figure out a way to store this information?)

Thank you for contacting MillerCoors.

MillerCoors does not use any animal by-products in our brewing process, nor are there any animal sources used in our packaging. Isinglass is not used in our brewing. There are five basic ingredients in all MillerCoors products. These include pure water, malted barley, corn syrup, hops, and yeast. Corn syrup is one of the basic ingredients used in most MillerCoors products as US consumers prefer its taste. Again, we do not use animal derived ingredients in our beer.

We appreciate your interest in our products.

Sincerely,

MillerCoors Consumer Affairs Department

I am wondering if your beers are vegan.  I do not use
any ingredients derived from an animal including gelatin, milk, honey, whey,
casein, isinglass, etc. I am interested both in the filtration process and
in the ingredients that go into the beer itself. Thank you for your help

breakfast: grapes and matzah with garlicky hummus

lunch: leftover raw kale salad and tons of chocolate chips

snack: the rest of the kale salad and more chocolate chips

dinner at Shelley’s: she made a vegan galette. it was amazing. i’m going to try to get the recipe from her.

drink: budweiser

brunch: whole grain bagel from whole foods (thanks april!) and leftover salty popcorn from last night

lunch: chocolate chips (very nutritious) and ground break beer from ithaca beer co.

dinner: raw kale salad (see recipe archive)- i used turnip greens and some other green that had no name (i have never seen it sold before). more chocolate chips

breakfast: salty oatmeal

lunch: leftover orange tofu salad, sourdough bread with homemade garlicky hummus

snack: soy latte from a place that shall not be named

dinner: leftover caesar salad and a Soy Boy Courage Okara burger with grilled sourdough bread, red onion, mustard greens, tomato, veganaise and ketchup.  Katherine was right, it’s pretty good.  The last time I had this, I made it in the microwave (which is nasty). This time i grilled it in a pan (without oil). that worked well.  It’s good as part of a sandwich, but on its own, its not great

snack while watching “women without men”: I made salty popcorn to bring to the movie theater.  I really wanted to put bragg’s and national yeast on it, but i resisted.  i was afraid people wouldn’t appreciate the smell.

i feel the need to explain my bad eating habits these past couple of weeks.  i am moving at the end of the month and am trying to eat a lot of the food i have in my house, so i don’t have to pack it.  that means a lot of dried goods and not many fresh foods.

banana “ice cream” (frozen ripe bananas blended to make banana ice cream)

pesto pasta

Milwaukee’s best

chocolate chips

a taste of the okra stew and brown rice that I made for lunch tomorrow (the recipe is in the recipe archive)

dinner with nate, shelley and eva: asparagus and mustard green risotto (with veggie broth, vegetable oil, baby bella mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, asparagus and mustard greens).  this was a great success considering we did not use Earth Balance or wine- the porcini mushrooms were the key to this dish

sourdough bread with hummus

sunchips

the last of the udon noodle peanut pasta and the leftover pho

chocolate chips

yuengling and ithaca beer (nut brown)

pesto pasta

more pasta with nutritional yeast and braggs

chai tea with soy milk and a banana

leftovers: white bean salad from Whole Foods and  peanut pasta made last night

many snacks:

1) chocolate chip walnut cookies

2) Hickory smoked primal strip.  This was my first primal strip- i thought it was pretty gross

3) Whole Foods brand organic vegan chocolate chip cookies. I emailed them to find out if these are vegan.  They had a hard time giving me a straight answer because their chocolate chips are made on equipment that uses milk.  I felt ok with that since milk was not an intentional ingredient.  Anyway, they are gross- i don’t recommend trying them

4) banana chips

dinner:  as soon as i got home from work i had a beer (dogfish head raison d’etre) and fell asleep. when i woke up i was too lazy to cook dinner, so i had more chocolate chip walnut cookies, popcorn with bragg’s and nutritional yeast and matzoh with hummus

coffee with soy milk and salty oatmeal

lunch from Whole Foods: garlicky green beans; quinoa with green beans and kale, vegan general tso’s chicken

grapes

white bean salad with lemon and red onion from Whole Foods

cardamon cinnamon tea

udon noodles with peanut sauce based on this recipe I added broccoli, green onions, a lot more garlic than the recipe called for, sriracha. I omitted the red pepper, snow peas, carrots

dogfish head raison d’etre

chocolate chip and walnut cookies Click for the recipe.

breakfast: everything bagel with tofutti from Ithaca Bakery (after eating the bagels, someone at the store told us they are made with milk.  I have my doubts about this, but the store was too crowded to ask more questions.)

1/4 ABC lemom poppyseed cookie (thanks Katherine!)

vegan peppermint ice cream (I can’t remember the name of the place). It was made with coconut milk.
