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

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.
