Vegan Crab Cakes

I know, I've been holding out on you guys for a while now with this recipe, but alas, here it is:

Vegan Crab Cakes

1 package of extra firm tofu, crumbled
1 C whole wheat bread crumbs (about 2 slices of bread into the food processor)
1/2 C vegenaise
2 TBS Earth Balance, melted
1 onion, minced
2 stalks of celery, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 TBS ground flax seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined. Use a 1/2 C measuring scoop to portion out the individual cakes. You can form them into round, patty shapes with you hands and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve topped some homemade hollandaise sauce if you want to go all out.

Makes 8 cakes.



I served mine over some sauteed collard greens.

Also, in case you didn't notice the banner up at the top, I just opened up the Eating Consciously Cafepress store where you can purchase exclusive Eating Consciously merchandise with the new logo- Easy. Fun. Delicious. Vegan. All profits will help to support my efforts in expanding the Eating Consciously empire ;)

Stay tuned for more recipes coming soon.

Raw Food Homophobes

While a raw food diet truly makes no sense for an ethical vegan , there’s another unethical consideration that should be taken into account. There’s a lot of evidence that many males in the raw foods movement are flat out homophobic. Not only homophobic, but also ignorant and disgusting bigots. Take the Raw Brahs for example, who recently made an extremely homophobic video featuring the self-proclaimed “ Life Regenerator .” The video features them taking a shower together and making homophobic statements and gestures to each other. The Raw Brahs are, to their own admission, “ solar powered Christian raw food radically honest nomadic elitist minimalist brothers .” In a book entitled, The Raw Controversies , page 118 cites that, “According to David [Wolfe] , Durian was a gay guy that went raw, and then 'left the dark side' and decided to go for women. David and Stephen [Arlin] were convinced that homosexuality could be 'cured' by the raw food diet. More speci

Giveaway! Peta's Vegan College Cookbook

Since I have been slacking on the frequency of my posts, as I am extremely busy and will continue to be for the next two weeks, I figured this would be a great time to make it up to all of you and give something away. In fact, I will give TWO things away!! Yes, I have in my hands two copies of PETA's Vegan College Cookbook and I must tell you that it's quite amazing. No, I'm not just saying that because I got a free copy ;) As most of you know, I'm pretty anti-cookbook because I feel most recipes are way too complicated and expensive, but this cookbook certainly debunks that theory. In fact, most of the recipes have about 5 or less ingredients and every recipe looks super quick, super easy, and super cheap! So, enough with the endorsement and on with the giveaway! What do you have to do to win a copy? Simply post a comment. That's all. I have two copies to give away and I will pick two random winners. Here's a preview of the prize at hand: So, post yo

Guest Blogger: Melanie Joy, Ph.D., Ed.M.

Since I've been running short on time lately, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to invite a guest blogger on board. You might remember I interviewed Melanie back in August on Eating Consciously Podcast #13 . I've read the book and I give it five stars all the way! If you haven't pre-ordered it yet, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. Make sure you get a copy not only for yourself, but copies for the carnists in your life as well. Since this is a bit of a lengthy post, I won't take up too much more of your reading time, but I wanted to point out that you might be interested in watching this new two-minute video about the book: and now I'll let Melanie tell you a bit more about the book herself... Like most people, I grew up eating meat. I also grew up with a dog, who was my best friend throughout my childhood. And like most people, I didn’t think about how I could love my dog yet eat other animals daily without thinking about what I was doing or why.
