Get your Green On: Kale Recipe

February 3, 2011 in Deliciously Macrobiotic, Lacto-Veggie, Ovo-Veggie, Pescatarian, Recipes: Eat In, Vegan Friendly, Vegetarian

It’s cold season. I heard you sneezing on the subway. There are cough drops in all of your pockets. I saw you wipe your nose with your sleeve…. at least it wasn’t your hand. What do you do? Maybe you fight the snowy season germs with a daily dose of vitamin c and a bit of purrell. But, my friends, our biggest defense against the yuck, is in the food we feed our bodies. Good eats= good immune system. If I had to choose one vegetable you could add to your diet to combat the sneezes, it would be dark [...]

Wear Your Food

September 14, 2010 in Tell me about it, Veg head

I’m not here to yell at Lady Gaga and her meat dress. We don’t judge here at the Gourmet Veggie but we do google. After reading about the meat dress I wondered if there was Veggie Fashion…Look what google gave me: You didn’t know we were so fashion forward did you? Ok. You probably did. It’s a slow, hazy morning and the tea is whistling. You might see me running around Brooklyn in veggie boots. Think tasty clothing, Anastasia

Calling All Brave Souls

September 9, 2010 in Tell me about it, Veg head

I’m a veggie freak fanatic. You know that by now, right? What I discovered by concentrating solely on my own taste buds, is that a lot of my friends were interested in what I was whipping up in the kitchen. Without me saying, “hey, you should try adding more veggies to your diet” or “hey, let me show you how to make tofu” they came to me. So….the Veggie Profiles begin. I’m not a registered dietician but I can share recipes and ideas on how being a vegetarian isn’t a scary experience. I can point out unique ingredients we don’t [...]

Cookbook Alert! A Brooklyn Map.

September 9, 2010 in New York, Reviews: Eat out, Tell me about it, Veg head

Maybe I’m not originally from Brooklyn. Maybe I don’t own a pair of hipster sunglasses or multi-colored sneaks…but ever since my college days and a tiny apartment near the Lormier station, I’ve felt like a BK gal. Boutique shops. Bike rides. Graffiti walls. The Billy Burg bridge…I’m home. So when a Brooklyn cookbook comes out, I’ve got to share it with you fancy folks. A preview from NY magazine shows that there are some veggie recipes in it. Not only that, you get a sense of the culinary history in Brooklyn…and that is genius. Maybe I’ll go on a BK [...]

Time to be Naughty (recipe included)

September 9, 2010 in Ovo-Veggie, Recipes: Eat In, Vegetarian

Pancakes make everything better. As a kid, they pair well with Sunday Cartoons. In High School, they are midnight Diner treats or hangover cures. Since I am nearing thirty, I’ve attempted many healthy versions. Whole-wheat flour paired with white flour, some walnuts and cinnamon…yum ! But this is not that post. We are getting down and delicious here at the Gourmet Vegetarian. We are turning in the healthiness for just a morning of bliss. I woke up this weekend with a craving for peanut butter, chocolate and pancakes. I went to the supermarket and stocked a basket with an unusual [...]
