Date Coconut Cashew Energy Treats | Wayfaring Chocolate. I’d like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, everyone who has sent well wishes to my grandpa (and my family) since his major surgery several weeks ago. Grandpa’s doctors are amazed at how he’s going post-surgery, but the reality is that he’s 91 and the recovery process is going to take some time.

Subsequently, my grandma and mother are still spending hours at the hospital each day, and my father is becoming such a chauffeur par excellence that I may have to procure him a proper driving hat one of these days. As for me? Well, I’m still doing whatever I can, wherever I can, to help out.

To Die For Vegan Mac & Cheese Recipe with Sweet Potato. By Aylin Erman, EcoSalon A childhood favorite revamped.

There’s something incredibly nostalgic about macaroni and cheese. Even if you rarely ate the meal as a kid, you most certainly recognized the commercials for the box brands and knew what it was. For me, mac & cheese was an after-school staple, a weekend lunch, a quick dinner that never fell short of filling the carb and cheese quota I necessitated as a youngster. But it’s no nutritional powerhouse. Sure, advertisements can skirt the overall lack of nutrition with a “high in calcium!” Banner, but last time I checked, just because something includes dairy ( e.g. ice cream, crème brûlée, pizza) doesn’t mean it’s a nourishing and balanced meal.

Using Kraft Macaroni & Cheese as an example, box brands include the likes of whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, citric acid, sodium phosphate, lactic acid, milk, calcium phosphate, yellow 5, yellow 6, cheese culture, and enzymes. Serves 1 Ingredients: Photos Of 5-Minute Wacky Vegan Microwave Chocolate Cake For One Recipe - Food.com - 458008. Homemade, Vegan Coffee Creamer. One of the questions I’m most often asked by readers, friends, and strangers, is whether or not I still get cravings for non-vegan food, and if I do, what foods do I miss? The very honest truth is that I really don’t crave any non-vegan food anymore. I may have a fond, passing remembrance of Greek yogurt now and then, but it’s not really a “craving” of the sort that makes me tempted to go out and buy a container of Chobani–the way I sometimes “crave” chocolate, or “crave” cigarettes (yes, I still crave, and actively resist, cigarettes).

There is, however, at least one non-vegan food that I actively missed for many years after I became vegan, and would still miss were it not for a few excellent substitutes: half and half in my coffee. Not half and half solo—that would be a strange thing to covet on its own—but rather a cup of good, strong coffee after you’ve poured a bit of half and half in it, and the color changes from a rich, dark brown to the color of cafe au lait.

A repeat offender in the lede-burier category, let me begin with what matters: this is absolutely my new favorite quick and obsessively delicious way to prepare mushrooms.

And now, a story. Once upon a time, I was a vegetarian who loved going to steakhouses. A friends birthday would approach and out of kindness to me, they’d start talking about gathering friends at a restaurant that had vegetarian options and I’d beg them to go to a steakhouse instead. “It’s your birthday! I know you want a steak! You deserve a big fat juicy slab of steak,” I’d try to coerce. Why was I such a weirdo? If only I knew the secret: escargot! I found this recipe a while back on Gourmet.com, something that hadn’t made the cut of what had to have been their final issue (moment of silence, but do you know what’s almost as wonderful?).

How to Microwave Gourmet Popcorn in a Brown Paper Bag.

Peeeeee-yew! I’m done with the stinky stench of microwave popcorn. Actually, I haven’t popped a single bag of that toxic smelling stuff in years since I hate the thought of being swindled by a stank bag of greasy kernels. That’s right people, I’m calling foul on microwave popcorn since it’s a reeking wallet rip off. Doing the mathy math, microwave popcorn costs around $22.65 for 12 boxes with 3 packets per box (source Amazon) — that’s an eye-popping $3.53 per pound! Sure, you may think you’re paying all that delicious cash for a magic metal-lined bag that pops better kernels and cooks your corn more evenly.

But think again. I can do the same popping magic trick with a cheapo plain brown paper bag. Now let me pop the big question: have you ever recycled your leftover microwave popcorn bags? Speaking of waist, do you know how many calories are contained in those popcorn flavor packets? Fish? Step One: Get a brown paper bag This is ridiculously easy, internet people. This is so exciting.

I honestly can not remember where I originally got this recipe from - it seems I have always had it on my repertoire. I realise it must have originated from somewhere and me saying "The Magic Mushroom King told me to make this one night when he visited me from his fairy realm" isn't gonna wash with most people (they's crazy). So to whoever/where ever I got this little trooper from - I thank thee. Nom nom nom.
