The Vegan Month of Food shines the light on what vegans eat around the world. As VeganMoFo 2011 wraps up, I hope you enjoyed my (almost) daily posts. I close this month with a letter to omnivores inspired by a recent conversation with my boyfriend:
When do you think “so and so” is going to invite us for dinner, Bill asked while cooking vegan mac & cheese.
You’re going to have to get a new girlfriend before that’s going to happen, I said.
Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds, and Walnuts On Top
Nutty breakfast porridge will warm your soul on a cold morning. It’s rich and delicious. Traditionally porridge is made with oatmeal but I use brown rice here.
Just Out of the Oven
Vegan cookbooks sit on various shelves all over my kitchen and then some end up in my boyfriend’s kitchen for month’s at a time. Veganomicon is one of those cookbooks. One Sunday, Bill flipped through the book and decided on the Almond Quinoa muffins. We’ve made them regularly ever since. In fact I often see other muffin recipes I want to try but never seem to get past this one. It’s that good.
Snacks for Study Breaks
The Washington Post ran an article on creating care packages for college students recently. It reminded me of the vegan care package post I wrote a few years ago, when I had one niece in college. She has since graduated and moved on to law school and her younger sister plays college tennis. I suspect they are working very hard and in need of some treats, so off to the store I went to pick up some vegan snacks.
…give me something good to eat! Halloween is right around the corner. Before you pick up your goodies, check out this list of vegan treats courtesy of Farm Sanctuary.
If you want to skip the sugar, pass out fun stickers instead. Don’t be afraid to be different. It’s good practice for being vegan.
Happy Halloween!
