1. Favorite non-dairy milk? I haven’t met a non-dairy milk I don’t like! We always have almond milk in the fridge. I buy oat and hemp when it’s on sale.

2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook? I am going to make one of the pot pies from VCON this week as an early Thanksgiving-ish meal for Matt and I. (On actual Thanksgiving, we are going out to dinner with his family.) I’ll also be making cranberry sauce because I love the stuff!

3. Topping of choice for popcorn? Salt, garlic powder and nooch. Melted eb if I am feeling really indulgent.

4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure? There’s been a few. I tried to make Matt a cheesecake for his 21st birthday and accidentally used firm ‘fu instead of silken….yuuuuck.

5. Favorite pickled item? I haven’t tried many pickled items…so I don’t think I can answer this one…

6. How do you organize your recipes? Matt finally made me put them all in a binder haha

7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal? Trash and disposal.

8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods…what would they be (don’t worry about how you’ll cook them)? VCON Black Bean Burgers, guacamole and margaritas!

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood? My family didn’t cook a lot…but, I would say the times when someone did cook and we all sat down and ate as a family.

10. Favorite vegan ice cream? Green soft serve

11. Most loved kitchen appliance? Food processor…hands down!!

12. Spice/herb you would die without? Garlic

13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time? This Betty Crocker one for kids. I still love to look through it.

14. Favorite flavor of jam/jelly? Raspberry

15. Favorite vegan recipe to serve to an omni friend? Cookies or hummus

16. Seitan, tofu, or tempeh? Seitan. The Simple Seitan recipe from VCON is the best. I really don’t care for the baked seitan everyone loves ::gasp::

17. Favorite meal to cook (or time of day to cook)? Saturday or Sunday afternoon

18. What is sitting on top of your refrigerator? Empty wine bottles and Matt’s cork collection

19. Name 3 items in your freezer without looking. Frozen carrots, frozen corn, cashews

20. What’s on your grocery list? I just went to WF, so nothing

21. Favorite grocery store? We had a really cool co-op here, but it went out of business. So, I guess Trader Joe’s.

22. Name a recipe you’d love to veganize, but haven’t yet. My mom’s “Groovy Chicken Casserole”.

23. Food blog you read the most (besides Isa’s because I know you check it everyday). Or maybe the top 3? I love them all equally.

24. Favorite vegan candy/chocolate? Mike and Ikes

25. Most extravagant food item purchased lately? Olives from WF

26. Veganaise or Nayonaise? Veganaise! Mmmm

27. What is one recipe or ingredient or cooking technique that you’ve become familiar with in the last year that you can’t imagine you ever lived without? Making seitan

28. If you could pick anyone to take a one hour cooking lesson from, who would it be? Ms. Isa Chandra Moskowitz

I am all better now! :) Thanks to those of you who left comments on the last post!

Tonight (with the help of my bf) I made myself a personal pizza! Matt got some dough from our local pizza joint and I topped my little pizza with VWAV tofu ricotta, red peppers and pineapple. YUM…best vegan pizza this house has ever seen.

Hello all!

I haven’t been doing very well with posting because on Friday I got the most horrible version of the stomach flu out there! ewwww I am still feeling really weak and I haven’t eaten any solid foods yet.

So…help a girl out! What should I try to eat first?

Now that you are sipping you Silk and reading your favorite cookbooks, why don’t you get off the couch and make something! I would start with the Tomato Rice Soup from VCON. It’s actually quite popular these days.

I intended to post a food picture yesterday, but my flash drive broke. You may like this post better, IMO.

Go ahead and print out a $2.25 off coupon for Silk. Think of this as my gift to you. Well, actually it’s Silk’s gift to you. I am just trying to be greedy and take all the credit.

What are you waiting for?? Get yourself some Silk Pumpkin Spice and sip it while reading your favorite cookbooks, Veganomican and Eat, Drink and Be Vegan!

WAIT! Before you think I’ve called you a bad name…read this. Since I don’t think I’ll have time to finish my novel this month (har har) I’ve decided to post as much as possible in the name of veganism!

First real post beings tomorrow…
