The Veganized Double Down
May 19th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Health, vegan
This is hilarious. Or sad. I’m not sure which. Remember on April 12 when KFC introduced their artery-clogging, blood pressure-blasting, heart-stopping sandwich called the “Double Down?” “The one-of-a-kind Double Down features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe(R) or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and [...]

Tami over at Vegan Appetite hosts “Food Network Friday” – a call to cooks everywhere to “veganize” the chosen Food Network recipe. I was excited that I got to pick this week’s recipe: Loaded Mashed Potatoes by Paula Deen. Paul Deen, as you probably know, is the Queen of Cream…and Bacon and Cheese. So modifying [...]

Meet Feijoa and Pepino
November 10th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Raw, vegan
I tried two new fruits today: a feijoa and a pepino melon! Feijoa Feijoa, aka “pineapple guava,” “fig guava,” and “guavasteen,” is apparently the big sleeper of Fruit World. In the late 1800s it received lots of praise yet very little has come from that. The Feijoa flower is quite beautiful, don’t you think? The [...]

So I haven’t done too well on my quest to try new-to-me fruits and veggies. I had a goal to try five new foods and in reality I tried exactly….one. Sigh. The one I tried was the Fuyu persimmon, and it was delicious! I enjoyed it straight up, and loved it. The consistency is crunchy [...]
