1 year anniversary

August 27, 2010

One year ago today I stopped eating meat and dairy…and I feel great!
I wouldn’t call myself a ’strict’ vegan, simply because  from time to time I might eat fried pickles (eggs in the dredging…and I might dip it in Chipotle Ranch dressing). 

There was also a time in the spring where I had to indulge in some crawfish.

I [...]

Thankful Thursday! Big wheels keep on rollin’

August 26, 2010

My son learned to ride his bike without training wheels!
He’d been riding with training wheels, since he was old enough to get on a bike…but he just wasn’t getting the art of balancing.
A few weeks ago I read that it’s easier to learn without the training wheels.  So, I took off his training wheels, lowered his [...]

Tortured Tuesday! Tacos

August 17, 2010

Vegan doesn’t have to be difficult.
We had tacos the other night…vegan style.
We used some vegan chorizo (Soyrizo), guacamole, vegan cheese, salsa, vegan sour cream, and some black beans…delicioso!

You can usually find the vegan products at Fiesta or Whole Foods. 
If you don’t have the vegan chorizo, etc…simply use black beans and extra veggies.  You could also make [...]

Finally Friday! Mike’s Hard Margarita

August 13, 2010

I’ve been looking for another go to drink, besides beer.  I’ve started getting a headache when I drink beer (not ”power drinking”…just drinking 1 beer!).
I think I’ve found one!

I tried Mike’s Hard Margarita (Traditional Lime) last night and it was pretty good.  They are definitely on my drink rotation!  I might get crazy and try the peach!  [...]

Thankful Thursday! Hot Date Night

August 12, 2010

Since my son was born, my husband and I have tried to go out on a date – just the two of us – at least once a month.
My son knows it happens and has never gotten worked up about it.  In fact, it’s so much a part of our routine that we have a [...]

Tortured Tuesday! d’s Vegan Burgers

August 10, 2010

I attempted making my own Veggie Burgers!  They turned out…okay.  I think I had the pan too hot when I initially put them in, so they turned out a little darker than I would have liked.  All in all…I’ll try them again.
I completely made up the recipe, so it was truly an experiment.  (None of [...]

Finally Friday! Campari

August 6, 2010

When I was in Italy a few years ago, I tried an aperitif    – Campari.

 It was very strange tasting…and I liked it.  My friends weren’t so fond of it, because of its bitter taste.  I do not typically like sweets, leaning towards salty/sour tastes…so this was right up my alley.

 I haven’t had it since our [...]

Thankful Thursday! Gone are the days of Power Rangers

August 5, 2010

I am thankful that we no longer have to watch things like Barney or Power Rangers, although my son never really liked them in the first place!  Yay!
We are now into the age of educational programs on the Discovery channel (he loves to learn about space and animals/fish) and the latest show that he likes is [...]

Tortured Tuesday! Vegan Ice Cream

August 3, 2010

I swear, I cook things besides vegan desserts!  lol
We have a peach tree, and this year it produced A LOT of peaches.  Growing up, I would ALWAYS ask my Mom to make me homemade peach ice cream for my birthday, which is in July.  So, this year I made myself some fresh vegan peach ice cream.  [...]
