I love opportunities to try new foods, especially fabulous vegan ones. D.C. is VERY accommodating to vegans and I even found the site VegDC.com which lists numerous restaurants.

With the variety of life changes that I mentioned in my previous post, I've felt like I need to change my blog. I'll be blogging in both places for while and see how it goes. So, change number 1 was getting my Master's degree and change number 2 is my new way of eating. Since mid-April I have been eating mostly vegan semi-raw. I've cut out gluten/ ( Read more... )

There were less vendors than usual and it was a pain to park because there was an NBA game that afternoon. Regardless we had a nice time with yummy food ( Read more... )

Although our school is not on break yet, I am done with classes for the semester! This is why I have been so neglectful of my LJ. If you look back at the past 2 years I posted, on average, at least once a week. If you look back at the last year the posts have become less frequent. I will attribute this to working on my Master's. I have just ( Read more... )

If you haven't noticed, I really enjoy Vegan Dad's amazing vegan recipes. I was planning on making up a recipe for vegan mac and cheese based on basic cream sauces, but went straight to Vegan Dad and just figured I'd use his recipe as a basis. I made a few minor changes, I omitted the sunflower seeds and pine nuts (only because they weren't ( Read more... )
