Vegan Pad See Ew
There's a period of time every week where I get a craving for Thai food. However, most Thai restaurants cook with oyster sauce and fish sauce, which makes trying to order vegan complicated. I realize it's hard on the wait staff and sometimes they don't know if the sauces are premixed or added during cooking, so it's easier to cook it myself.
I love Thai food & Pad See Ew is a favorite!!! I get it at my favorite Vegan Thai Restaurant in Chicago, but it's nice to try at home.
Chilling Out with My 4 Bean Veggie Chili
So, I am sitting here chillin out with my four bean veggie chili...which isn't to say this an un-spicy chili. I used pepper (my favorite way to spice up a dish is just keep-on shaking the shaker until the food is covered in it), red pepper flakes and the Tofurkey chorizo-they added just the right amount of heat in this big ole crock-pot of goodness.
Wonderful recipe! Look forward to trying it....
Sandy Update!
Hey guys! Wow, thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers after Sandy. I am truly overwhelmed with the love and concern from you guys:) Thank you. I continue to think about those devastated on Long Island who still are without power. Luckily I got power back yesterday, on Saturday.
However, I was able to fly out of the city (the morning LGA opened) and fly home to Cincinnati for the weekend.
My heart goes out to all impacted by Sandy! Here is an update from a fellow blogger. My blog is now being hosted by ChicagoNow. ChicagoNow is a media company of the Chicago Tribune. Catch me in the Lifestyle: Food, Drink & Dining section or at www.chicagonow.com/emerging-vegan- sistah
