What I Ate Series In this series I talk about foods that I have eaten in my transition from a standard American diet to a vegan diet. I try to show my cooking method for creating balanced meals easily. Check out the previous what I ate posts for ideas on veganizing your meals. But today […]

What I Ate Series The purpose of this series is to capture my cooking method rather than tried and tested recipes. I rarely follow exact recipes, but instead follow a general template for building a plate. Based off of that template, I create meals using whatever ingredients I already have on hand.

Last but certainly not least in our 5 days of no repeat oats is chocolate cherry! Who doesn’t want chocolate for breakfast? Chocolate and cherries are the base of this recipe, but you can really use any fruit you like with chocolate. I’ve done strawberries, blueberries, and I really love raspberries with chocolate. Oh and […]
