This post is all about the Vegetarian, Vegan, and so-called, "Flexitarian" diets. I basically want to define what these three diets encompass and then give my take on them. I know there are some who will never be appealed to via the animal rights argument
THE SINGAPORE VEGETARIAN TRAIL Singapore Vegetarian Trail aims at giving information on local vegetarian food and I also aspire to cover restaurants and their specialties with lots of photos for you'll to drool upon. This is my way of saying "Thanks"
Day 61. I love Greek Falafel and I love Indian food...so, when I got black-eyed peas in my CSA box, I dreamed up Indian Falafel. I'm excited about the possibilities here. I'm serving them in naan instead of regular flatbread. I'm drooling a bit thinkin
I love guiling gao and find that it is so much cheaper if I were to make them myself with the ready mix which are being sold in the shop. Unfortunately, when I read the ingredients, I always find "tortoise shell" named as one of the ingredients. So one a
Day 78. This was another one of those I spotted and knew I had to veggie-converter. Our toddler and I both loooovvvee pizza. And the husband likes it pretty well, too. So this is a perfect snack or meal for us. Recipe Adapted from Pizza Pretze
Last week, when I was cleaning my overstuffed kitchen cabinets, I found several bags of different lentils. I like to have them handy whenever I feel like cooking my family's favorite Afghan lentil dish , but even though I think my stock was too big. I de
A spicy dried curry or rendang is a classic Malaysian dish. Commonly, beef or chicken are the choice of meat for this rendang recipe. As for me, I used the vegetarian mutton made out of mushroom stalks which taste almost like the real mutton p
I have been thinking about strawberries a lot lately, probably because at the beginning of last week it was beautiful outdoors, 70 degrees and the perfect spring berry growing weather. It has since gotten colder and even snowed on Saturday, but that didn
If a diner is the last place you'd expect to find healthy, much less vegan, food, then you will be pleasantly surprised by the Silver Diner if you are fortunate enough to have one near you or encounter one on your travels. Oh, to be sure, their menu is l
When I posted this blog this morning, we didn't have the Earthquake. It just happened a few minutes ago while I was eating my lunch in my office at Santa Ana, California. It happened at 11:42 am, a 5.8 earthquake at Diamond Bar and Chino Hills, California
This is in honor of our mothers. Both my mother and mother-in-law have passed, but they will always be a part of who we are. Our sensibilities, our tastes, and our quirks, have all been influenced to some degree by Mom. Wherever they are currently, the
See? It can be done. This is not merely gratuitous proof but overwhelming proof done exceedingly well. There are so many situations where we have no choice but to break bread with those who insist on eating meat. Unfortunately we're often left with few c
I love pizza! I am a pizza addict, I admit. Love it cooked with Daiya cheese, love it cooked with no cheese and just veggies.. I had not braved the raw pizza yet.. Until I saw pictures of May's raw vegan pizzas. Doesn't the picture above look amazing?? I
Yet, another vegan sushi party! This is my 3rd post about vegan sushi. You can tell that I love vegan sushi and like to have a sushi party. It's a lot of fun to let your guests roll their own sushi and choose the filling they want to put in it. I don't ha
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, being a vegan can often be accompanied by a slew of cultural stereotypes: "Health Fanatic", " Hippy -Dippy", " Kombucha -Guzzling Yogi"...you get the point. Sure, we all deeply value our bodies and how we treat them. More
Kola Urundai is very famous across South India and each and every province have their own version of making these balls usually made using either minced chicken or mutton. And Vazhakkai Kola Urundai is the vegetarian or vegan version of the same meat ball
Hi All!! Sorry for being away from the blog all of a sudden..the intention was definitely not to disappear but somehow life became too busy with traveling, then unpacking and getting back to a regular routine.. I’m posting yet another healthy preparat
Meat analog . Is there any less appetizing way to describe vegan meat? Just using the word "meat" doesn't seem right either, given that our diets are meat-free. I propose we come up with another name- an entirely new word, perhaps. Something that soun
Lately, my husband has gotten somewhat obsessed with corn dogs. They weren't my favorite thing to make, since I had trouble getting the batter to stick in my first couple of attempts, but he really loved the light crispy cornbread that surrounded (or par
Call it bragging (and it is), but I've just got to say it: I'm a food rock star! Okay, now that I've written that sentence out and feel sufficiently obnoxious, I'd like to erase it. But I'll leave it there for you all to see and laugh at me. It's true th
It's Anzac Day today. We've been to the Anzac Day parade, and when we got home we decided to make some Anzac Biscuits in memory of the Anzacs! "Lest we forget!" (You can read about the history of Anzac Biscuits here .) After all the
