““Human beings have capitalized on the silence of animals, just as certain human beings have historically imposed silence on certain other human beings by denying slaves the right to literacy, denying women the right to own property, and denying both the right to vote.””

A most fantastic vegan green bean casserole. Seriously. Most fantastic.

I used fresh, farmer’s market green beans and a red onion instead of canned beans and fried onion and I sauteed both in some olive oil before baking.

Yesterday I had two vegan friends over for dinner and i was so excited to make a vegan meatloaf with a side of farmer’s market broccoli and freshly made bread.

then we went out to JP Licks (my favorite boston based ice cream place) because they just recently added a selection of vegan ice cream. i got chocolate coconut and it was divine. so vegans in boston, go check it out!

This doesn’t look as great as it tasted. Sautéed zucchini ribbons topped with tomato sauce and bocca meatless crumbles. I loved it so much I made it twice. This is the second dish. The first, not pictured, was yellow squash ribbons with the vegan Alfredo I made the other day.

I make a ton of pasta, so this is an exciting new way to not eat as many carbs.

no picture, but for lunch i ate a wrap with kale pesto, hickory smoked tofurky, and spinach.

the juiciest peach.

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 11:51:00 -0400

a love story.

i caught your eye at a farm stand in brooklyn.

so soft and smooth. and reasonably priced.

i carried you.

i carried you all the way to chinatown.

where the smell of fish and mean homeless women

dangles in the air like the fruit of some

rotten tree.

and when the lucky star

stopped at the same arby’s it always does,

you, my peach.

you were my savior from the fast food nightmare

of rotten meat and soggy fries and premature demise.

you, my peach,

are the most real of foods.

good thing i bought two.

Kale pesto. Always a win.

whole wheat rotini with vegan alfredo sauce and bocca meatless crumbles. i made enough to have a little jar of sauce to eat later.

also, this is weird but hear me out. i took this picture, and then put a little bit of BBQ sauce on my food. SO WEIRD BUT SO GOOD.

Yes I ate two sandwiches for lunch. No I am not embarrassed.

Tofu marinated in (my favorite) red wine vinegar and soy sauce. Baked at 350 for about 45 minutes, flipped every 15.

I tried and somehow failed to make hummus but I did end up with a creamy bean sauce that I spread on ciabatta rolls.

I love sandwiches.
