It’s probably safe to say that Isa Chandra Moskowitz is the most well-known vegan cookbook authors. She’s definitely my favorite. Her newest book Vegan Brunch has created a lot of discussion among vegan blogs, and I can only say that I feel lazy for not having bought it yet. The GirlieGirl Army has a fantastic [...]

Vegan MoFo III
Only 2 more days!
Last year I loved reading all the Vegan MoFo posts I found. After all, I spend way too much time looking at vegan food porn and recipes. This year I decided I would participate myself. The main reason I didn’t last year was because I didn’t really start cooking until [...]

Baltimore Schools: Meatless Mondays
Schools in Baltimore are about to have more compassionate Mondays. Baltimore City schools are joining the Meatless Monday program, the first school system in the country to do so on a regular basis. Every Monday the school system will serve it’s 80,000 students a vegetarian meal (sadly the program isn’t vegan-food inclusive, though introducing vegetarian [...]

Spicy Mustard Baked Beans
Sorry about the lack of posts over the past week. I spent this past weekend at the beach (I actually tanned a little!!) and this week has been pretty busy with school. Since I’m having to spend most of my time studying and doing homework, I haven’t really been cooking much. However, I did want [...]

Unnecessary Mock Meat Products: A Rant
When I first stopped eating meat in the tenth grade, I had a tendency to rely heavily on fake “meaty” products like soy burgers/hot dogs/chicken nuggets, etc. Pretty much the same happened four years ago when I finally made the transition to veganism. Even raw foodists create meals based on cooked meats.
There is nothing wrong [...]

Of balsamic vinegar, tailgate markets, and leeks
Every Saturday morning, my campus is host to a tailgate farmer’s market, with about twenty venders selling everything from fresh bread (though unvegan!), local sauerkraut and kombucha, all the veggies you could imagine, flowers, and meats. All local, much of it is organic, and the people and vendors are incredibly nice. I wake up Saturday [...]

PETA needs a new tactic
I don’t think the people at PETA even know how to be active without resorting to nudity. I mean, when’s the last time you saw a PETA ad that didn’t feature naked or scantily clad women? I am by no means a prude, but using sterotypically beautiful naked women in order to advance a cause [...]

Tofu Scramble Hodgepodge
Tofu scrambles are my favorite easy breakfast – filling, easy, fast, and there is simply no end to ingredients you can add. Today I woke up late (thanks hangover!) and just waited until lunch time to eat. I really wanted a tofu scramble, but I didn’t want something so… breakfasty. So I added a random [...]

Wow Factor, and Instant mashed potatoes
Yesterday was quite the day for Ahimsa. My blog got the best number of hits in a single day ever – 1,525 hits!! Most were for the Mac-Stuffed Portobello Mushroom post. Usually, this blog averages about 100 hits a day, but here’s what I saw when I logged in this morning:
Wowza. So thanks to everyone [...]

Sauerkraut Pizza?
If there’s even the smallest chance something will taste good with sauerkraut on it, I’ll do it. I love sauerkraut – it’s the something extra that makes tempeh, burgers, and sandwiches taste that much better. But on a pizza? Hell yea!
Today I was browsing the recipes from Miss V’s Vegan Cookbook blog, and [...]

Mac-Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps
One of my favorite parts of cooking (besides the eating!) is presentation. Even when I’m just cooking for one, I really enjoying taking the extra time to make my plate look special. Sometimes all it takes is a nice garnish or a rearrangement of items, but sitting down to a meal that looks good makes [...]

Purple Spring Smoothie
I have never been a huge smoothie fan. If I didn’t munch on something at meal time, I just didn’t feel as though I had eaten. In the last few months however, I’ve come to realize how quick, easy, and healthy smoothies are, and I have thankfully gotten over my dislike for them.
After buying a [...]

Where the hell have I been??
I seriously wasn’t expecting to be away from Ahimsa for almost five months!! When I’m home for the summers, I usually don’t have internet. Since my mom doesn’t own a computer, I just don’t see the point of paying for just 3 months of internet. I can do without when I need to.
This summer was [...]
