Cheers to a New Year!

Welcome 2008!

I have a fever (which has put me out of commission for pretty much the whole day), so I didn't do a nice collection of images of the party last night, but wanted to go ahead and wish everyone a happy New Years!

I hosted a Tapas party for New Years eve and it seemed to go out a hit. We had bruschetta, artichoke, stuffed mushrooms, sushi, edamame, olives, artichoke dip, olive spread, and marinated mushrooms. The cheese spread to the left and the chocolate covered cherries were not vegan however, but were brought to the party.

For this years resolution, I'm going to try something new. I'm going to have 12 resolutions, one for each month. They're simple resolutions that will end up giving me more peace in my life, and I will add a new goal for each month that comes.

For example, January's resolution is to keep a daily journal. I need to do this for 30 days so it becomes habit. Once that has happened and the next month arrives I add on another goal to the list : Keep a daily journal and go to the gym three times a week. And the list will grow as the months pass and I will hopefully build good habits with this system. The mentality is start small and build big :)

Have a great New Years everyone!

Vegan Sushi and Tempora

I finally got around to turning this in to a food blog like I had been wanting to do for almost a year now. My goal is to show some vegan recipes and try new recipes from vegan cookbooks. This blog was created to help show people vegan food is healthy and delicious with many different varieties of food.

Yesterday, I had gone over to my friend Amy's house to prepare a vegan sushi and tempora. I had some ideas for sushi that I wanted to try out and figured it would perfect to have her opinion on the taste.

I have three different types of sushi shown:

1.Avo-cucumber with spicy sauce
2.Shitake with General Tso Sauce
3. Spicy tofu

The spicy sauce was made out of Veganese and Rooster sauce. I was trying to make a spicy tuna roll out of tofu, and it was just firm tofu mushed with Rooster sauce. It didn't quite taste like spicy tuna, but was still fairly good tasting.
