Animal Rights Conference and grilled cheese.

The five winners of Ready, Set, Go Vegan! have been chosen! If you won, you have already received an email from me. Congratulations on winning the ecookbook ;)

I'm not sure I have mentioned it yet, but if you missed the banner on the sidebar, I'm going to the Animal Rights Conference in Los Angeles next week. I will be there from the 16-20. This is the second year I've attended and it's such a great place to meet other vegans from around the country and hear about various topics of interest in the animal rights movement.

That being said, I've decided to bring my MacBook along for the trip, which means you will get a virtual recap from me daily... eh, maybe every other day ;) I will also take my video camera along for the haul and I can now publish videos to YouTube from my phone, so I should be able to keep you occupied while I'm away. As always, I'm sure I'll be Twittering away. In fact, if you're not already following me on Twitter, you really should because I update it way too often.

I know I keep promising new recipes, but with this unexpected Advanced Nutritional Physiology summer course I had to take and mounting deadlines for projects, I must say that I haven't been experimenting as much in the kitchen. Fortunately, I will have a tiny break from classes during August, so hopefully I'll start whipping up new recipes galore! I do have some recipes I've been holding on to, but it takes time to type them up and get them on here. Be patient!

Actually, I did come up with a new recipe the other day that is a good reflection of how busy I've been lately. I'm not even sure this counts as a recipe, but I'll give it to you anyway. It was super quick and made me happy ;)

Vegan Grilled Cheese

2 slices whole wheat bread
2 slices vegan cheddar cheese
2 tsp Earth Balance

Put 1 tsp of Earth Balance on each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwich with the dry sides of the bread facing inward. Put into a hot pan over med-high heat on one side for one minute. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Slice horizontally. Serve.

Makes one sandwich.

Here's a video of the procedure for your enjoyment:

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...

Krony 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 .  Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it.  The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.  For only a few bucks a month, you can feel like you’re making even more of a difference for this tremendous cause, which over 77 million people have tuned into at most recent count. So, who exactly is Kony?  What’s the deal with Invisible Children and is there something we aren’t being told about this cause?  Since the videos release, the have been numerous, credible criticisms of the film.  So many, that the CEO of Invisible Children even released a video to dispute ...

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

I figured it's been a while since I've posted a recipe, so I decided to share one with you that I just created for the autumn season.  I also have some more recipes to post soon, like Boston Cream Pie, White Bean and Rice Soup, and Butternut Squash Stuffing.  Stay tuned (and subscribe !) for those recipes, among other things.  Also, there will be a new Eating Consciously Podcast episode in the very near future (featuring an interview with TimmyFan !), as well as a piece about communicating with non-vegans over at veganexaminer.com . If you try the Pumpkin Mac and Cheese, leave a comment about how it came out! 1 lb macaroni (I used whole wheat) 1 block extra-firm tofu 2 cloves garlic 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground 1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground (or 1/4 tsp if freshly grated) 1 tsp salt (or more to taste) 1/4 cup Earth Balance (or olive oil) 1, 15 oz can cooked pumpkin  1 cup nutritional yeast Cook the macaroni according to the instructions on the...
