Cabbage and Sausage Soup

Sorry it's been a tad longer than usual since the last post, but I have A TON of stuff going on right about now. I wanted to swing in to drop off a new soup recipe I came up with for you guys since the cold weather will be here before we know it.

I recently bought two heads of cabbage on a whim, only to realize when I got home that I had no idea what to make with them! The result was this surprisingly delectable cabbage soup featuring field roast sausage links. So good!!

Cabbage and Sausage Soup



2 TBS olive oil
2 Field Roast links, diced (I used Smoked Apple Sage, any vegan sausage will do)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBS dried sage
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 C dried green lentils
1/2 C brown rice, uncooked
1 small head of cabbage, sliced into 1/4" strips (about 6-8 cups chopped)
6-8 C water, depending on desired brothiness
1 vegan vegetable bouillon cube
1 TBS salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

In a soup pot, over medium-high heat, cook the oil, vegan sausage pieces, onions, garlic, sage, paprika, cayenne pepper, lentils, and rice until lentils and rice begin to get toasty and slightly browned (about 5-10 minutes). Add the cabbage and cover with lid, stirring every 2 or 3 minutes until cabbage is soft and begins to look translucent. Add water, bouillon cube, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for one hour.


In other news, I recently made the cover of American Vegan! I wanted to put up a PDF, but unfortunately I'm having scanner difficulties. I will post it as soon as I can get to fixing the technical difficulty unless they upload the issue to their website first. Be on the lookout!

I have lots of other exciting projects in the works, but some things must remain a secret for now ;)

Until the next post...

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.
