As I've mentioned, I love the Monk Bowl from The 30-Minute Vegan. It's tasty and versatile. So versatile, in fact, that I managed to "invent" a whole new version of it for dinner last night ( Read more... )

I can't believe there are only four more days left in Vegan MoFo! It seems like I've only just started posting and reading about all the amazing vegan food the world has to offer. But I'll save the waxing poetic for the end of the month. Today, since I didn't do it over the weekend, I'm reviewing Vegan Yum Yum by Lauren Ulm.

For the past few days, I've been hanging out with a friend from out of town, and on Friday night we picked up a mutual friend and hit up a local Lebanese restaurant: Beirut on River St. in Troy. My mom had previously been there with some friends from her Bible study and the place came highly recommended.

My switch to a largely vegan diet started out as a slow one. The first time I had a problem with milk was when I was ten years old, and that was pretty much it as far as dairy intolerance went. I stopped drinking milk and continued eating pretty much the same way I always had ( Read more... )

I was in the mood for something with beans last night and, once again, it was Robin Robertson to the rescue! I'm still in possession of a library copy of The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook, and a quick flip through the index turned up "Ravishing Red Bean Gumbo".
