Mushroom-Asparagus Rissoto In the original recipe called for spinach and thyme but had neither one so I just stuck with the mushrooms and asparagus. However I added black pepper, ground sage, and ground rosemary. Oh so delicious!

Rissotto- Vegan Version

I made rissotto for the first time tonight. All I have to say is that I am so awesome. It turned out so much better than I expected. I adapted my recipe from Pinterest so go to Pinterest and search for my board “Vegan Experiment” and username websurfer129.

Bake Sale!!

What to make for a bake sale fundraiser and still be vegan AND still please everyone? Chocolate chip cookies…yes. My favorite cookies of all time but how good will they be with “vegan butter”, which is just a blend of oils and emulsifiers, and no egg to bind it. So I’m going to try a recipe I found at ulive.com “Eat Like A Vegan” minus the nuts just chocolate. His recipe calls for egg substitute but I really don’t want to invest any more money so I’m going to use stuff I already have. I’m going to try cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp of water) because it provides a binder (cornstarch) and moisture (water).

Transition from Regular Southerner to Mainstream Vegan

Being in the South and a college town, transitioning to vegan has become a production. Things like seitan and tempeh are not present at Wally World or even the nicer Publix grocery stores. Even tofu is a scarcity. But it has become a fun food science experiment. #veganlife#eatlikeavegan
