honey-os with soymilk. oj.

tjs sesame bagel with tofutti cream cheese. potato chips.

all manner of grilled things at a bbq including summer squashes, asparagus, eggplant, veggie burgers and pineapple. i also made something which was inspired by the collard wraps from a bit ago, but this time i sauteed onions, tomatoes, cous cous, and chick peas with some random herbs and wrapped them in purple cabbage leaves. the wrapping didn’t work out so well, i actually had to tie them together with string, but anyway we put them on the grill and it was good times. can’t go wrong with grilling.

‘jungle juice’ which i believe was ginger juice, lime, pineapple juice and tons and tons and tons of vodka. also a screwdriver.

whole wheat tortilla (heb) with weird hummus, tons of paprika, spinach; carrots and green beans; small navel orange

“breakfast” taco (same as yesterday); small navel orange; dried pineapple

leftover tofu and pea curry with whole wheat tortilla

inspired by the success of my guava coconut bars (which are now in the freezer), i adapted this recipe, substituting pear sauce (i needed to use up some super overripe pears) for the applesauce, and including a slice of guava paste that melted in the middle of each muffin: guava-pear muffins! i think the guava worked really well with the warm spices

gin & tonic at barflys

slightly different breakfast taco: flour tortilla (mission brand), diced potatoes browned in olive oil then sauteed with cooked black beans, minced jalapeno, green onion, cumin, salt, and pepper, topped with spinach and salsa huichol; grapefruit

leftover scraps of flatbread and tortilla with weird hummus; raw green beans and carrots; small navel orange

tortilla samples (white flour and southwest) and one medjool date at heb

paneer curry with peas from the last issue of bon appetit: i think it’s currently in their web recipe archive, but i won’t link to it because i think they only keep the last few issues’ worth of recipes on there. i substituted tofu for paneer and ate it using a whole wheat tortilla from heb as chapati. i’ve had four different kinds of tortillas today- one at every meal!

small coffee at flightpath (half medium-roast, half house decaf); dark chocolate covered assortment from my easter package (…wrapped in a tortilla?)

late night snack stop at heb (second time today!): thai curry, mequite bbq, and black pepper cashews, dried apricots, and dark chocolate toffee almonds, all from bulk aisle

oatmeal with tahini, almond milk, diced pear, cinnamon, sesame seeds

empire apple, creamy peanut butter; toasted mini everything bagel

i made sun-dried tomato hummus and tasted a little bit. it was inspired by this recipe and had a really good creamy texture (due to the secret ingredient?), but a slightly weird flavor (due to the secret ingredient? or the fact that i had no lemons so completely left out the lemon juice?). i hope that it gets less weird in the fridge overnight

handful of seed & nut mix and a medjool date from fiesta bulk

“pizza” on a flour tortilla with leftover pizza sauce (recipe originally from 101cookbooks), lots of spinach, crumbled tofu tossed in olive oil, all baked at 350 for about 15 minutes in an oiled pie tin; small navel orange

carob chunks of energy from whole foods bulk

there is a box of guava paste that has been sitting in our fridge for months, left over from tamale fest 2010. fortunately i don’t think it would ever go bad, so tonight i used it to make a variation on this. for the bottom layer i used whole wheat flour and subbed oats for about half the coconut. i spread slices of guava paste in place of the raspberry jam and it melted nicely. i plan on using the rest of the guava paste to make more of these, or possibly in other baking experiments.. any suggestions?

tjs honey-os with soymilk. oj.

leftover pancake and potatoes.

reed’s ginger beer.

southern dinner! red beans and rice wrapped in collard greens; i got the idea here but used different seasonings (red chili flakes, cumin, oregano, s/p, probably some other stuff i’m forgetting). cornbread from vegan planet recipe except minus the chipotles and skillet-less, served with earth balance and honey. cabbage sauteed with basalmic and tamari. This all turned out great–thanks to emily for showing me that vegan website, i have it on my greader now and everything she makes seems really interesting.

also, i had a dream last night that our loyal reader adam ate a bunch of sour cream by accident and then was mad about it. please comment if you know what this dream means.

half a slice of multigrain toast with peanut butter

coffee from Cherrywood Coffeehouse

potluck brunch at Emily’s friend’s house: fruit salad that we brought (avocado, kiwi, strawberry, apple, tangerine, lemon juice); vegan cinnamon roll (recipe from don’t eat off the sidewalk); chocolate chip scone; zucchini frittata (with potatoes, tofu, etc); home fries; Simply orange juice. So many people brought vegan food, even though no one else was vegan! We brought the lamest vegan option by far. People in Austin are awesome.

on plane from Austin: salad with iceberg lettuce, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, and no dressing; pretzels (from previous flight). On this flight, in addition to the salad (with optional cheese dressing), they were serving chicken sandwiches and Twix bars. It was listed as a “snack,” not a meal, which might be why they didn’t have any other options (vegetarian, kosher, vegan, etc) even though I signed up as vegan when buying the ticket. However, someone who flew a few days before said they announced that Continental might be stopping all “special diet” options on flights (perhaps just international) starting April 1st. I need to find confirmation of this.

on commuter rail from Newark: vegan tres leches

on NYC subway: everything bagel

(travel rule: it is important to eat a different thing on every form of transportation that you take, particularly things that are sort of gross to observers, such as tres leches that has been thrown around in your suitcase all day)

dinner: Bedouin Tent leftovers (pita, hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, kalamata olives, chickpea salad, lettuce)

a couple bites of Kim’s Magic Pop

chocolate cake with creamy peanut butter frosting and Mambas on top (thank you Michael!)

multigrain toast with peanut butter

potluck brunch at a friend’s: zucchini tofu frittata; home fries; chocolate chip scones; cinnamon rolls (soo good, recipe from don’t eat off the sidewalk!); two fruit salads (we brought one with apples, tangerines, kiwi, strawberries, avocado, and lemon juice); simply orange juice. katherine and stacey got to see how excited people around here get about cooking stuff i can eat for potlucks: there were vegan versions of everything that wasn’t vegan already, and if they hadn’t been there all that vegan food would have been just for me!

*end of katherine and stacey’s visit; start of food and alcohol detoxification*

small navel orange; brown rice, raw green beans, steamed mustard greens, tofu lightly browned in olive oil, leftover peanut-coconut sauce; fruit salad left over from brunch (avocado in fruit salad is so good!)
