Federal Vegan: Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/05/curried-chickpea-salad-sandwich.html
Monday, May 5, 2008. Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich. Since the cobbler came out so well, I was feeling adventurous and put this salad together. It's yet another spin on a very old theme, but I like the added dimension the curry and raisins bring to it. 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained. 3 stalks celery, minced. 1/2 of a vidalia onion, minced. 3 small radishes, minced (grated carrot would be good, too). Freshly ground black pepper. 1 tbsp curry powder (more or less to taste). Juice of half a lemon.

Federal Vegan: October 2008
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. This past weekend my dad took me to game three of the World Series. I'm originally from Philly and my family still lives there, so I've been a Phillies fan all my life. The last time they made it to the big show I was in 6th grade, we are so due! Despite a two hour rain delay and generally miserable weather, we had a great time. There's nothing quite like being part of a happy mob of 45,000 . Adding to the fun - vegan cheesesteak! The last time I went to a game I got the regu...

Federal Vegan: Sheese-y breakfast
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/10/sheese-y-breakfast.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. Thanks to My Organic Market. I got to try Sheese. Definitely the best vegan cheese I've tried so far - blows the FYH cheddar out of the water, in my opinion. It's good on all its own, right from the package. I made a sheese-themed breakfast featuring sheese-y tofu scramble. Grated on top at the end) and sheese-y black beans (put a can of beans in a pan, added grated sheese, heated through). Mmmmm. OB went a step further and had sliced sheese on toast alongside.

Federal Vegan: Yet more cheap and easy stuff
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/11/yet-more-cheap-and-easy-stuff.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Yet more cheap and easy stuff. First off, a shout-out for Happy Herbivore's new cookbook. Holidays. If you haven't gotten it, or the last Sneak Peak book, go. They're both full of awesome, healthy recipes (several of. Which I've happily tested). I really need to make that pumpkin bread again. Another blog shout-out for the Chocolate Covered Vegan. Her recipes. Are so clever, I ended up eating two of them yesterday! Blending up my oatmeal all the time since th. Tell you about...

Federal Vegan: Kate-style Lara Bar
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2009/01/kate-style-lara-bar.html
Thursday, January 8, 2009. Hi there, I'm back! Sorry for going so long without an update - I just haven't been making anything blog-worthy of late. After a year as a vegan, I'm finding I have lots of go-to recipes and products that I know I like (and repeat often). I'll try and be a more active blogger, though, as long as I have something worth sharing. I like it even better than the real thing! Lots cheaper, too. January 8, 2009 at 4:32 PM. I love these kinds of bars- I whip up my own version (I called ...

Federal Vegan: Give a girl a sugar pumpkin...
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/10/give-girl-sugar-pumpkin.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Give a girl a sugar pumpkin. And she'll be eating pumpkin all week. One little pumpkin goes a long way! For dinner the other night I made Curried Pumpkin Cream Sauce. It came out super rich and creamy, like an autumnal vegan alfredo. Flesh from 1/2 of a roasted sugar pumpkin (about 2 cups). 1 cup unsweetened MimicCreme. You could substitute any non-dairy milk, but you'll lose the richness). 1 tbsp curry powder. 1/2 tsp ground coriander. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. If I didn't know...

Federal Vegan: Banana Peanut Boom Muffins
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/07/banana-peanut-boom-muffins.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. Banana Peanut Boom Muffins. These muffins are really, really good. Seriously, try them, you won't be disappointed. I had this idea that I could use peanut butter instead of oil or margarine, and it totally works. They don't have an overly peanut-y flavor, they're just moist and rich and slightly nutty. Sorry for the bragging, but I'm quite proud if myself with these. 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour. 3 tsp baking powder. 1/3 cup raw sugar. 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Printing ou...

Federal Vegan: January 2009
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Clif, Lara and Luna bar recall. Sigh Wouldn't it be great if being vegan kept us completely safe from scary food poisoning? At least we don't have to worry about all the tainted meat scandals. But bad things can happen even to wonderful foods like spinach, peppers, and peanut butter. In case you missed it, Clif, Luna and Lara bars containing peanut butter have all been (voluntarily) recalled due to a risk of salmonella contamination. Here's a list. Wednesday, January 14, 2009.

Federal Vegan: Pumpkin Smoothie
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008/11/pumpkin-smoothie.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. It's a veggie for breakfast! It's healthy but tastes like dessert! It'll give your blender fits, but really, the exercise it good for it. 1 cup unsweetened soymilk. 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. Half of a frozen banana. 1 or 2 tsp maple syrup. 1/2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice. Mmmm Trader Joe's canned pumpkin is spectacular - it's the only canned pumpkin I could happily eat as-is. I'm going to try and stock up, since they only offer it seasonally. I HAVE to try this one!

Federal Vegan: July 2008
http://federalvegan.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 20, 2008. Hiatus (but I'll be back! My surgery is tomorrow, so I won't be cooking (or eating much, I fear) for a while. I think I'll be back in around 6 weeks. I won't be commenting on your blogs either, probably. But I will return! Larry the liver tumor is going bye bye, and after the initial discomfort I expect to be feeling better than ever. From Kittee, Carrot Muffins. Happy cooking, all. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. I want this shirt. I'm having surgery next week and will be recovering for a...
