The Voracious Vegan

A Vegan in DC: Part 1

Hi everyone! I’m very happy to announce the first ever guest blogger on The Voracious Vegan – my sweet husband Cody! You have all heard me talk about him before, he’s a musician, a vegan, a feminist, a goofball, and he couldn’t be sweeter if he tried.

Right now he’s on a 2 week business trip [...]

Bon Voyage Coco!

First of all I want to say a huge thank you to all of the commenters on my last post – Veganism: Where Do You Draw the Line? You were all amazing! Seriously, all 70+ of you! And your emails/tweets/messages were just phenomenal. Thank you.

If you haven’t already, I really encourage you to go read [...]

Veganism – Where Do You Draw the Line?

I really like it up here on my high horse. No, I’m not talking about Ender. I’m talking about my perch of vegan moral superiority, from which I can gaze down upon all the lowly non-vegans eating their cheeseburgers and drinking their milkshakes and remind myself how truly compassionate I am to not [...]

Vegan Buttermilk Pie

I’ve taken a lot of criticism for proclaiming more than one dessert ‘the best dessert in the world’ but you know what, I don’t care – this vegan buttermilk pie is the best dessert in the world! What can I say, I get really excited about my food and whatever tasty [...]

I Think It’s Time For a Little Confession…

Okay. Confession Time.

As you all know I am an expat, born and raised, and still living in Saudi Arabia. Because of this I have spent much of my life traveling the world…by plane. By my rough estimate I have been on over 200 planes in my lifetime, starting with my first [...]

Not So Fun in the Saudi Summer Sun.

Sorry for the long absence, folks! I think this heat is melting my brain. It’s definitely sapping me of any motivation to cook blogworthy meals, so you’ll have to bear with monotonous shots of green smoothies and salads for a while.

And when I say heat, I mean HEAT. It has reached 120F with 60% humidity [...]

Traditional Indian Sambar, Potato Vada, and Spicy Roti

A few weeks ago I recieved a treasure. Yes, a real honest to goodness treasure for a food obsessed cook like me!

You see, one of Cody’s co-workers, who is an Indian man from Hyderbad, found out that I love to cook and eat, and eat, and eat, so he generously gave us a copy of [...]

Whole Wheat Waffles with Strawberry-Orange Zest-Ginger Jumble

As if my week could get any sweeter! I thought nothing could beat being named one of the Top 10 Vegan Bloggers by VegNews Magazine, but I’ve got to say that these waffles and that luscious topping comes close!

Most of the time I like simple, traditional toppings, you know, maple syrup and lots and lots [...]
