Cruelty-free eating and cooking for one in the District of Columbia.
…so I’m moving back. Here are the pictures from what I thought was going to be my last night in town dinner. I made BBQ tofu, cornbread, quinoa jambalaya, stuffed mushrooms, and brownies. I started cooking a little after 5 and we were ready to eat at 8. There are pictures and info about the food I made after the jump.
People I Love
Chipotle has competition now.
For me + a friend:
Whole wheat tortilla; brown “texmati” rice; black beans; grilled onions, green peppers, and mushrooms; fresh tomato salsa with green onion, avocado. Yes.
I would say omit the tortilla. It’s superfluous. I didn’t eat it.
I win.
First of all, I went to Busboys and Poets last night and had the Vegan pizza, which I can’t say was more than just good. It wasn’t phenomenal, but they do use vegan cheese & it does taste like pizza. It comes with typical pizza-esque veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach) and is like $10. I wouldn’t recommend making a trip to Busboys just to eat it, but if you ever find yourself there (and very hungry — it was huge) it’s not a bad option. But in all honesty, I wish I had gotten a salad or something.
(I also saw two shows at the 930 club last night: the Books with Todd Reynolds & Ratatat along with Hexa and Despot. The Books were absolutely incredible, as was Todd Reynolds. Hexa was just okay. Despot was pretty cool. Ratatat would have been a lot better had dumb drunk people not gotten on stage and proceeded to make fools out of themselves. In fact, Ratatat actually stopped a song to tell people to get off the stage. The crowd was so obnoxious that I actually left early.)
Today I made cranberry pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. They were delicious! (Sorry the picture isn’t that great. Not much natural light.)
This weekend completely sucks because I have so much work to do. So much work that I actually don’t have time to a) be blogging or b) make anything fancy. So here’s my fancy staple meal for one.
Broccoli, carrot, onion, edamame, red pepper, shiitake, almond and teriyaki-soy tofu. Yessir.
Sometimes you need scrambled tofu and cranberry toast. I did tonight.
PS. I’m in love with Isa Chandra Moskovitz. (Shh. Don’t tell her!)
Except when it gives you a reason to make an exceptional soup with lentils and broccoli.
Here’s a Broccoli-Lentil soup from VeganYumYum that I made a few days ago. I didn’t have the stuff for the roasted red pepper coulis (and it was cold, so I wasn’t going out), so the red pepper heart had to do. And it did, just perfectly, in fact.
