Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
I hear the phrase “garden fresh” all the time… “garden veggies.. fresh vegetables.. fresh from the garden”. Well.. is it really? I wonder! My Dad once said.. don’t believe everything you hear.. and only half of what you see. That’s when I was a kid- before the age of internet, digital photography and photoshop. I’d like to say before GMO’s but […]

Well.. I’m not sure if it’s a stew, a grain mix or a saute! In any case, it was delicious and full of vegetarian… I mean VEGAN lol.. protein! What’s the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan..? lol THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAIRY INDUSTRY– farce, manipulation and torture.. that’s all! Unfortunately for the fish.. I would sooner be a non-dairy […]

Sometimes… it’s all about whatever it takes to get the non-vegans to experience something other than animal products. mac & cheese There is healthy vegan food and of course unhealthy vegan food. Some vegan restaurants tend to go one way or another… some will carry both.. some go the whole “fake” route and some may cater to the more […]

It fascinates me to watch as I move some meals from raw vegan to vegan. It’s as if there is a whole new realm of opportunity– or maybe just perspective. It’s not that I don’t want to be raw because I almost feel guilty but it’s as if I have a newfound APPRECIATION for what I may have previously viewed as a limited […]

Can I have a favorite restaurant with an exception? This is definitely a vegan favorite of mine but I have a small pet peeve. I know dogs are not allowed inside a restaurant but if you have an outside area- then why not? People eat with their dogs at sidewalk cafes all over NYC. Then you go upstate to “liberal” […]

I love raw lasagna! I have had it at four different places now and I know how to make it- just haven’t ventured over to actually doing it YET… (but I will). I like to try it everywhere it is offered.. I think I just find it interesting more than anything else. I do make amazing lasagna- I always have, […]

Today I decide to stay away from all processed foods … however, I did cook! Coming off a raw diet is like entering the world again but with different eyes. I feel like I am cheating but really I am not. I believe this was the first real meal that I cooked full on. Sometimes I call portabella my “steak”. […]

Flax power veggie protein wrap Raw? Mostly.. except the flax wrap itself. The funny thing here is that I didn’t even buy these flax wraps for myself yet I ended up eating them all over a weeks time span. It’s most certainly easier for a vegan to live with and dine with other vegans or vegetarians… or more so those […]

I have heard this name before and have seen her book online- it was time to buy it! The same time it arrived- I fell in love. For a moment I wished that my blog had more than 143 days left. That moment of insanity was fleeting however since I quickly reflected back to how this blog has taken over […]
