  • Did you know that veganism can be healthy, too? :D
    Nick is an actor from Ohio who just moved to NYC. He reached out to us and said he wanted to connect with vegan friends. After hearing his story, we invited him on to make some nutritious and delicious food with us.

    Poor Man's Sushi (Nick's Recipe):
    • Slice up some zucchini longways; drizzle soy sauce and black pepper on the slices; bake or grill
    (we used a tiny bit of oil on the baked zucchini pan because we weren't paying attention to the whole no OIL thing, but apparently it is fine without)
    • Cook some rice: sushi, jasmine, or brown probably work best
    • Roll up the rice in the zucchini
    Poor Man's Sushi dipping sauce:
    1/4 c soy sauce/tamari
    1/4 c coconut sugar or 2 tbsp maple syrup
    1-4 cloves garlic
    Sriracha or gochujang to taste
    Sesame seeds to taste
    1-2 tsbp lemon, lime or rice vinegar
    "Hale to the Kale" salad with almond butter dressing, from Chef A.J.'s book Unprocessed:
    Lemon juice
    Dates
    Garlic
    Ginger
    Chili Pepper flakes
    About 1c almond butter
    About 1c water
    Blend it all up and massage into the kale. Drizzle more on before serving. Add bananas if you want.

    I agree that things smell less appetizing now! I've started noticing that dairy milk and butter have a very distinct scent that find so unpleasant, and I never noticed it before!

    That looked so yummy. His story parallels my own story. My Mom and Gramma are both diabetic, overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, also on other meds. I was heading down that path too. I'm 4' 10". I WAS around 160 lbs. When dr's told me they wanted to add another med ON TOP OF what I was already taking, I was like, NOPE! I went raw vegan. I got down to 104 lbs, almost the weight that dr's say some one my height should weigh. I'm not raw anymore, but I still eat ass many raw foods as I can. This dressing reminds me of the tahini dressing that I would get on my veggies and salads when I went to Mothers Market in Costa Mesa, CA. I can see how this almond butter based dressing would taste really good on potatoes. I'm going to make everything y'all made here. I don't feel very confident that I could get my Husband to try it, because he's very defensive and non-adventurous about vegan foods, but I know I could get my 3 year old into this. She loves kale salads and rice and veggies. I have to mince the kale though.

    Sounds good :)
    I’d try the banana thing just to try it but it sounds weird.
    I like Nick’s personality! :)

    I had the very same health issues, then I turned vegan and got rid of all my meds.. I’m now vegetarian and do/did (sprained both ankles) a lot of walking. Hubby and I do Run To Feed for 1) We are doing something for a good cause and 2)We are getting a great workout. As far as I’m concerned it’s a win win situation. 🙂

    I made a pretty badass alfredo sauce out of almond butter, I know it's not mac n cheese, but it's gooood! ;) I advise giving that a go.

    Would love to see you guys have a discussion about the topic of the impossible burger and the article from treekisser. I think it’s something that should be talked about and I feel like you guys would do an excellent job taking about the pros and cons. thetreekisser.com/activism-2/the-impossible-burger-debate-was-a-test-for-vegans-and-we-failed/

      Do you still have your manual? It should have recipes and cooking times for lots of stuff. We use it for beans, lentils and soups a lot. We also like this book: amzn.to/2M2ULfM

    You guys NEED to try VegNews.com 's Vegan Macaroni & Cheese recipe. It is THE BEST recipe I've found. I've even fooled omni's with it. Just read all the comments on their page about it.

      I actually am oil free like chef AJ and make it without the vegan butter and it's still fantastic

    Measuring is important. Just because you're vegan doesn't mean you drop weight.

  • @ixo666
    @ixo666 5 років тому

    I found the question about the vegan pizza quite confusing... at the risk of being lynched from time to time I eat some teeny amounts of animal produce (no meat; eggs, and cheese - but I just realize I accidentally had some meat 2 months or so ago so can tell about all of them) - they are gross. I mean, you wouldn't mind one or two eggs in a cake, at least I don't, where the taste is covered by the other ingredients but cheese pizza uhg... really yucky... I feel like no vegan who is vegan a substantial amount of time (I am about 2 years now) would go back to animal foods because the taste buds just adapt and it now tastes awful. Though I have to say that with egg in rice or something like that its not that bad but cheeses are really gross as is meat and fish.
