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...

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 ...
