oprah is on the zucchinigetti bandwagon
The new Oprah magazine has a recipe for raw vegan lasagna:
Also two recipes from Vegan Soul Kitchen (Savory Triple-Corn Grits and Cucumber Watermelon Soup). This is like a first ever, Oprah usually likes a crap ton of cheese and pork in her recipes. Good for Oprah!
Of course there is also a douchey little box about [...]
ZUCCHINIGETTI
Here is something that goes under the same category of things as green smoothies and avocado pudding, which is “Things Of Which I Never Thought I Would Approve and I Made Them Just to See How Gross They Would Be and Now I Love Them and Eat Them All the Time.” I think you are [...]
Biggest Loser = no good.
I like to watch The Biggest Big-Os Show. It is pretty interesting AND Bob is maybe vegan or at least he adopted a cute little rescue dog. It is not that hard to ignore all the product placement for eating vast quantities of Jenny-O turkey and drinking 3 glasses of milk per day. Everyone knows [...]
A Sad Story
Last month my mother bought me a vitamix and it was the greatest thing ever.
Oh how I made gross-looking brown smoothies and then learned to make less-gross-looking bright green smoothies and the creamiest frozen banana dessert ever and also the smoothest avocado chocolate pudding ever and a really good milkshakey thing which is soy mik, [...]
superfood* of the week: CHIA
Raw foods is a crazy underworld. Did you know everybody eats pudding made of chia seeds instead of using them to grow hair on their vaguely-racist chia Obama? Anyway you can read all the chia hype but basically they have more omega-3s than flax and you can use them the same as flax, like for [...]
pancakers
These are Moby’s pancakes and they are whole-grain, fat-free and sugar-free so they are ETL-compatible until such time as you dump a ton of maple syrup on them. Anyway they are a little harder to flip than regular pancakes (cook the first side longer than you think you should) but we liked them and they [...]
I guess you should eat this immediately.
It is possible that my recent discoveries in the area of raw nut-laden recipes have derailed my ETL weight loss journey. Nonetheless this cake is quite amazing. Perhaps it is not good if you are not coming off of two months of sugarlessness and wheatlessness. My palate might be completely crazy now. But I think [...]
raw(r)
A couple weeks ago I bought Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen, because we are eating a lot of salads on E2L and aren’t salads really just raw food. Plus Dr. Fuhrman’s desserts leave A LOT to be desired and I thought the raw foodists might have some better ideas for me and they should automatically not [...]
nothing like a cold salad in a blizzard
Well we are almost at the end of our 6 weeks on ETL but towards the end I started cheating with peanut butter and Wegmans sourdough multigrain bread so I think I only lost about 7 lbs. It’s hard to tell because there is a roller coaster of bloats from eating no salt and then [...]
beans and beans and bananas
Okay, I think I am getting the hang of cooking non-icky Eat to Live food. The trick is basically to not cook any recipe that was ever submitted to a mailing list.
This is the best dinner from last week. It looks ugly but it was good.
It is Nacho Cheese-ish Substance on roasted vegetables. The cheese [...]
