[07.01.11] Happy Birthday, Brenna!

My wonderful mom made my way-cool sister this delicious, raw, vegan cake this year for her birthday!  And let me tell ya, it was awesome.  :) 

[06.24.11] Earth's Own Market Cafe

Delicious vegan fare from Earth's Own in Liverpool! 

[06.08.11] My FAVORITE Place to Eat!

 

For some very odd and very irksome reason, I cannot get this picture to rotate on my blog.  When in the folder, the picture is fine.  When on the blog, it rotates itself.  Trust me, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get it to work, with no avail (obviously).  Anyhow, if you don't mind tilting your head 90 degrees, you can see that Chipotle is my ultimate favorite eatery.  My mouth waters at the thought. :)

[06.11.11] This Apple is the Star of the Show

I tell you, reader, the moment I cut this apple, I was star-struck.  Alright, that was a very lame joke.  Anyhow, I do love apples, and I do love the star pattern in the middle!

[05.16.11] Now That's a Little Much

Why Wegmans left such a stem on this pepper is beyond all of us! 

[05.05.11] The BEST cookie ever!

It didn't occur to me until I was wiping the toothsome crumbs from my mouth that the cookie would be a good blog shot.  So I decided to get a shot next time I get one, and settle for the package this time.  I can't wait to try out the espresso chip, coconut macadamia chocolate, and all the other delicious varieties available.  For those who would like one, I bought it at Natur-Tyme for about $2.00.  Little tip:  best two dollars you'll ever spend.  ;)

[04.28.11] Tossed Salad

A whole new meaning to the trite "tossed salad." 

[04.23.11] How many tools does it take to open a young Coconut?

For us, a carpenter hammer, a rubber mallet, a santoku knife and two pairing knives were all we needed!  Needless to say though, the coconut milk and meat were utterly, unbelievably delicious! 

[04.19.11] Apples!

Can you tell that the other apple half is also sliced into quarters?  I am happy to say that I a really starting to get the hang of cooking. 

[04.09.11] The Making Of Zucchini Noodles

Using some fresh, peeled zucchini and a turning slicer, raw zucchini noodles are a snap!  And not to mention tasty! :)

[04.08.11] A Vegan Dinner!

On the table is Bulgar Surprise (bulgar is a grain similar to wheat), raw marinara sauce with raw zucchini noodles, Better-Than-Butter spread (see yesterday's post), vegan Alfredo sauce with marinated Shitaki mushrooms and more zucchini noodles, and a kale salad.  One of the most succulent and scrumptious meals I've ever had!  Who knew vegan could taste so good?

[04.07.11] Vegan, Raw, Better-Than-Butter Spread

This is the most tasty and delicious butter spread in the world, made up 100% raw and vegan ingredients.  Why didn't I know about this before? 

[04.06.11] First smoothie!

So this was actually taken yesterday, but I am still getting over how tasty that smoothie was, so I am sharing a shot from yesterday today.  Food does strange things to me.  Eh, not really. 

[04.05.11] Vitamix!!!!!!

Today our new Vitamix 5200 came in the mail!  Gotta love factory refurbished with a 7 year warranty!  Green smoothies, here we come!

Shake the papaya down!

Papaya is easily one of my favorite fruits.  The exotic look, taste and colors might have something to do with it...

The Hurom is here!

Today, my mom's new juicer finally came!  We are all very excited about it, her being the most, especially because it is quite easy to clean (always a plus).

[02.10.11] The Official Pacman Carrot Convention

:D

[02.08.11] a long overdue post!

Keeping with the theme of fruits and veggies, here's a clementine that looked interesting.

This lettuce looks very tasty!

Though I used to detest this nutrient-rich green leafy vegetable, it is most certainly toothsome to me now!  In fact, I find it quite delicious.

A true friend gives you gummy Army men

Many thanks to my good bro Nate Anderson for the gummy bears, er, gummy men. :)
