Vegan Pride Breakfast Buritto

Ah Golden Pride... all of you Albuquerqueans know exactly what I'm talking about. What's better than a Golden Pride breakfast burrito to get your day going? You may think, "nothing!" but this morning I discovered a vegan version that may just surpass it. Today I used tofu, curry, tomato, and brown rice. For a more traditional New Mexican flavor you can sub the rice for papas and the curry for green chile (I'm out until my 505 visit for the holidays). This is a protein rich meal to get you going and keep you focused throughout the day. Enjoy!

You, I, and a Pizza Pie

Living in Toronto there is no shortage of pizzerias. The only down side is that they all offer lovely greasy cheese slices that are loaded with animal products. In an attempt to satisfy my pizza tooth, I ventured to my own kitchen. I'm not a huge fan of meat and dairy substitutes, but every once in a while you just need to cut the cheese. This crispy little pizza only takes about 15 minutes to prepare and is delicious made with cows milk cheese or a soy sub. Enjoy Amore!
