First, let me say that I can’t believe I am blogging! I’ve never imagined sharing what I think and do with people on a large scale. So, welcome to my world! Thanks for coming! This blog will be dedicated to the love of my life: FOOD! If I go on a rant from time to time, forgive me. I’m only human and I’m passionate about it.
I’m so sorry. I haven’t even introduced myself! I live and work in Knoxville, TN and attend the University of Tennessee. I have two hellian kitties (no Cat Lady comments please!) and my boyfriend has just added a puppy to the mix. It’s interesting to say the least. I’ve gone through a life change recently and want to shout it from the rooftops! Thanks to Skinny Bitch, or what mom and I refer to as “The Book”, I’ve become vegan. Thanks to Environmental Sociology, I’ve become earth conscious. Big changes in life, but easy to make!
Anyway, to the ‘meat’ and potatoes!
Dinner lastnight was Whole-wheat Seitan Tacos and Grilled Polenta Cakes. Simple & Easy!
I cut store-bought seitan into small chunks and sauteed it with a sauce made in the blender of cherry tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic and salt.
Pile it on the tortilla with roasted peppers, fresh lettuce, Tofutti sour cream and whatever else you love on tacos.
The polenta was cut right off the log, salted and peppered and grilled on the George Foreman.
My girlfriend Kristen came over and it was her first seitan experience. Needless to say, she was pleasantly surprised. Kristen, I told you so!
