I don’t want to bore anyone; this post is simply the VeganMoFo quiz that has been passed around, with my own answers.
1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
Trader Joe’s vanilla soymilk for coffee/lattes or vanilla hempmilk for cereals. Anything goes for baked goods, especially rice and almond.
2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook?
What I’ve got lined up is a parsnip-split pea soup, a brown rice-noodle-chickpea pilaf, and some Thanksliving holiday stuff, including pumpkin scones!
3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
I don’t eat popcorn a lot, but I’d say just salt for me.
4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
I once made a bulgur and spinach layered dish that came out terribly! The bulgur never cooked all the way through and the flavor was horrible.
5. Favorite pickled item?
Sweet pickles?
6. How do you organize your recipes?
Most of mine are in actual cookbooks, but I have some in transcript covers that are organized by main dish, dessert, breakfast, breads, side dishes, salads, and soups. The recipes I’ve tried from cookbooks are in a box with the cookbook name on a card and the recipes on smaller cards, with the page number.
7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
Trash, recycling, and garbage disposal.
8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods…what would they be (don’t worry about how you’ll cook them)?
Cilantro, broccoli, and pineapple.
9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?
Carrots and apples, some of the only fresh foods I ever had!
10. Favorite vegan ice cream?
Purely Decadent chocolate chip cookie dough (gluten-free, too!). But I don’t feel so well after eating rich(er) foods.
11. Most loved kitchen appliance?
Immersion Blender (Kitchen-Aid)
12. Spice/herb you would die without?
Cinnamon
13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time?
Soy of Cooking by Marie Oser
14. Favorite flavor of jam/jelly?
Bionaturae organic fruit-sweetened spreads (most notably strawberry)
15. Favorite vegan recipe to serve to an omni friend?
Anything I make would be vegan……and I don’t have any omni friends. :p
16. Seitan, tofu, or tempeh?
Seitan if Sara and Rob make it. :p
17. Favorite meal to cook (or time of day to cook)?
Morning. A soup with a garnish!
18. What is sitting on top of your refrigerator?
Toaster oven (unplugged, out of the way), miscellaneous flours that didn’t fit in the cabinets, and organic fair-trade coffee (the coffee pot is right over there, too).
19. Name 3 items in your freezer without looking.
Spinach, peas, and chilies.
20. What’s on your grocery list?
Nothing at the moment.
21. Favorite grocery store?
Trader Joe’s would be if they had more organic greens, such as kale and collards, but Essene (I’d love it if it were closer!)
22. Name a recipe you’d love to veganize, but haven’t yet.
Nothing comes to mind.
23. Food blog you read the most (besides Isa’s because I know you check it every day). Or maybe the top 3?
I often check Eat Air, Get Sconed, and Melomeals every day. I like these blogs a lot and they were some of the first ones I tagged as favorites, so I click on my Favorites and they’re right there without scrolling down. They are updated every day or every other day as well!
24. Favorite vegan candy/chocolate?
Equal Exchange organic fair-trade dark chocolate with almonds
25. Most extravagant food item purchased lately?
I don’t consider any food items extravagant.?
26. What was your favorite food BEFORE becoming veg*n?
I can’t remember. I was dead before I was vegan. :p
