I found some recipes that I think would be great for this summer.
Red Lentil Burgers- I bought alot of red lentils while I was at the store a few weeks ago. I want to try this recipe because it's the only one that does not require bread crumbs. I would add a few spices according to how I want them.
Focaccia Buns (use vegan ingredients)- This recipe is for an Italian bread that is traditionally flat. I think making buns from scratch is a much healthier alternative to buying them from the store. For some reason, store bought breads never seize to surprise me with their peculiar ingredients that I have to look up on Wikipedia.
Raw Key Lime Pie- Key lime pie is one of those old recipes that people don't prepare much anymore. I like to think that it's up there with the fruit cake. However, this raw alternative can be a better fit than the traditional recipe.
General Tao Tofu - This is for those vegans who still love fried foods. I think the Southern part of my background can attest for this. Fried, tempura based tofu can be tricky and difficult to perfect sometimes. Still, the finish product is amazing. Making Asian-inspired dishes is better than ordering tak-out. It beats eating in mystery.
Raw Vegan Alfredo Sauce- This recipe is great for the fettucini recipe that I linked last year. For an extra richness, I would make this recipe pure vegan and no so much raw by adding soymilk or almond milk or something else for extra richness.
Watermelon Cooler (Raw) - This is a raw vegan cooler made of watermelons. For those who are just vegan, sweeteners such as turbinado sugar, agave, maple or stevia extract can be added to this along with other fruit juices. This can even be spiked with an alcohol such as hard liquor or wine or both.
Sweet and Sour Tofu -This recipe is similar to the regular sweet and sour recipe except it's vegetarian.
Tetrazzini - When I was an omni, I used to love tetrazzini and any Italian dish with cream sauce in it.
Club Sandwich (Vegan) - Club sandwiches are not traditionally vegan. Most consist of a slab of meat, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a mustard. However, this recipe is a healthier and cruelty version of the classic sandwich.
Apple Cake - This cake is an original twist because it uses apples, not as a glaze but in a cake. This a great cae for a special even such as a wedding or birthday.
Vegan Caesar Dressing- A modern, vegan version of an ancient recipe.
Some other News
Vegan Meatballs - This is another meatball recipe I found online. I want to try this recipe as opposed to the others that I posted, because this one seems more interesting and versatile.
Vegan Meatball 2- This recipe will work better for the vegan meatballs than the previous because the ingredients are easier to find. I plan on adding mushrooms, celery and carrots to this to make it "meatier".
I decided that I don't want go to this school or live in this city. I feel so detached. I never understood why until I went back home. Maybe it's better off that I live in the same place as my family. Good friends are hard to come by. Some people can handle living on their own without close friends or relatives near them. I am one of those people who could live on my own as long as if I am close to the basics and the city is good enough to walk somewhere at two in the morning. Sounds crazy, but I don't think that I should be punished for walking out late just because I'm a woman. I hope that I'll like living at home again as much as I like having my own space here in where I am now.

Living Arrangements
The economy is tanking as usual for the past six years. Gas prices are rising like a NASA space shuttle and people are losing job left and right. The economy is so bad here in the States that people are telling young highschool graduates to skip college all together and persue their dreams. Despite our economy receding back to the Great Depression and our declining culture, there should be some hope out there for our future. Each semester I am reminded of my reality and what I'll face after college.
Going "Free-Spirited" - Living in a vehicle is out of the question for most people. It is illegal to sleep in a parked vehicle in most communities and most people consider it as homeless, despite the vehicle being a home. Because we are so tied to consumerism and traditional thinking, we are in this economic situation in the first place. I know that the gas prices are soring and maintainance for a car can be expensive, it is still less expensive than living in a cheap apartment. Living in a vehicle can save thousand of dollars per year if planned correctly. Another unconventional way of life is pitching a tent somewhere in the desert or wilderness. I cannot say that it's more or less acceptable to do this as a permanent way of living. It's environmentally friendly and for those who live the outdoors, doing this will make anyone feel closer to nature.
Freeganism - This lifestyle is based on our consumerist, postmodern society. Some may criticize this way of living with the belief that without consumerism this way of living would not exist. However, this lifestyle is still goes against mainstream society by placing value on the disposed and exploited.
Comunal Living - Communal living is more people oriented and more involved than living in a car or living in the fringes of consumerist society. anyone who should want to live or start a commune must take precaution against the encroachment of mainsteam society.
I want to try to live in a vehicle until I save enough to live in a small apartment, or at least pay off my student loans. It seems more convenient than starting a commune and if I want to be a part of mainstream society by going to work or school, I can still do those things while living in a van. My mom does not believe in the idea of living in a van or anyother vehicle when I can simply move back home. She does not understand that living alone for so long and then moving back home is a huge adjustment. At least living in a van I have my own space, even it it's on a set of wheels.
To make living in a vehicle comfortable, I do not recommend a small set of wheels such as a car. I recommend something that's at least as big as a minivan. As for a vegan lifestyle, it is going to be difficult to maintain a vegan diet without a stove or a refrigerator. There are many companies that sell packaged vegan meals such as Tasty Bite. They can be found at most major grocery stores. Hygiene is going to be another concern. A gym membership allows access to showers and public beaches have showers and bathrooms, although they are not the cleanest.
I recommend this as something temporary. Living in a vehicle can get old like any other living arrangement.

Natural Hairstyles for 4B Hair
I've been neglecting my hair regimen lately, I think due to laziness and boredom. I will argue that natural hair is hard to take care of if you want to have it the way everyone else wears their hair. Luckily, with my hair texture, I have more options for different hairstyles. Rollersetting, then doing a "Dominican method" of blowdrying should work for my hair. I bought some new vegan hair creme that works as a conditioner or leave in. I tried to use it as a styling creme for dry hair, but it has too many waterbased products. It will serve better as a conditioner that will be followed by a heat serum. I plan on still ordering the products that I listed in my natural hair products post.

Vegan Diet Plan/ Desserts and Care Package
Vegan Diet Plan
Apparently, the semester has taken a toll on me. It seems that I went up a dress size (From 0 to 2) and my thighs show for it. I was telling my mom this over the phone last night and she wanted to go off. She was a bit dismayed at my comment about thinner legs and thighs being more attractive than thicker ones.
Since I had to drop one of my summer classes (mini-term), I can use these few weeks before my painting class to get in shape. As small as I am, I should NOT be short of breath after climbing stairs. Also, I figure that if I'm going to make food in my dormroom, I would have to make something that does not spoil so quickly. I want to throw in some fresh food into my diet plan along with some vegan nutrition bars, smoothie mixes and nuts and dried fruit. I've been buying chips everytime I want to munch on something, so if I'm going to nibble on anything I would want it to be healthy food.
I plan on buying and trying out the Vega Sports booster powder. It's vegan and it has enzymes in it (easier on the stomach).
Desserts
It's that time of the year again. I keep craving sweets through out the year. I crave them the most during the summer, or I should say at the end of the school year. Only if there was a way to make desserts healthy in my dormroom. At least I still have the Microhearth.
Vegan White Chocolate Recipe This is a printable recipe for white chocolate. I love this more than regular milk chocolate (before I became vegan). I used to go to the mall and buy Ms. Field's white chocolate cookies. Now, I can make them from scratch without the eggs, butter and milk with a chocolate chip cookie recipe. Or, you can buy these. Although some vegans out there do not want to consume white sugar (non bone-char) and hydrogenated oils. Hence the recipe listed.
Care Package:
My mom wants to send me a care package to take back to school with me, because I will pretty much be here for the rest of the summer (continuous housing). Being vegan can be very difficult considering that there is no grocery store close by and all the food places are closed until June. I've been vegan for pretty much five years (on and off again), so here is a list that I would recommend for a care package:
Vegan multivitamins- I usually do not advocate vitamins. All the food in the vegan diet should supply all needed nutrients. However, in a situation when going to the store becomes a bi-annual field trip, anything will work. The vitamins should have B12, D and Calcium.
Vegan Bars- These are recommended for women. They have all the nutrients that women need for our bodies and they taste very good. I usually buy them in Lemon, but I plan on trying other flavors.
Protein bars- These can be raw or not. Combining beans and rice for a full protein is a myth. So I recommend getting a vegan protein bar or shake or something.
Vegan Packaged Foods- Although I do not recommend the mainstream brands, Fantastic Foods and Tasty Bites have pretty good packaged products. My biggest recommendation is buying these in bulk.
Rice paper- This is great for rolling salads to make spring rolls. Hopefully when I go home, I can find these and package them.
Tempeh- Packing this in a box for shipping may or may not go well. It may go well because they are airlocked into plastic. They may spoil because they might require refrigeration. Simmer in water, grind and add to crumbled chickpeas for an awesome ground chicken substitute.
These are some of the many foods I hope to have in the care package that I will help make. I'll be adding some more items when I get a chance.

A random rant about this semester
This semester has been pretty turbulent for me. I can't sleep at night, when I fall asleep I suddenly wake up again and I might be going through depression. Maybe I'm homesick. When I'm at home, with so many people, I'm not happy. I hate it there when I stay too long.
There is a good chance that I'll be going home. I do not regret going to UNR. I really love this school overall, interms of academics. It's mainly the city and the kind of people from here that kind of makes me want to go home. I also feel like the pressures from school are getting to me. I hope that I end this semester on a decent note. If I don't have to repeat a philosophy class, I hope to actually stay a little while longer. After this semester, I'm not taking anymore philosophy classes. I find gender studies to be much easier. I also heard that the education minor is pretty easy, except it has more required credits. I even thought about Basque as a minor. I just really want to hurry up and graduate or at least end this semester.

New Recipes/Gadgets & Vegan Supplement Powders/ Commentary
I've been away due to focusing mostly on school and everything else. I only hope that I do well at the end of this semester with two art classes and two philosophy classes taken already. I did not give up on living an inexpensive vegan lifestyle. I was supposed to post this blog a long time ago, but with computer issues and going though so much I postponed everything pertaining to this blog.
New Recipes
Vegetarian Kofta This recipe should be pretty easy to make from microware. Getting the kofta balls to crisp should not be too difficult if I put oil on them before adding them into the microhearth. A few substitutions would have to be made, but pulling off this recipe filled with delicate flavors without a stove should not be that difficult.
Vegan Tikka Masala I made a vegan version of a Tikka Masala this Christmas with a jarred version of the sauce without marinade. It was superb. I used to remaining sauce to make a Tempeh/Garbanzo bean "sloppy joe". That was also amazing. When I get the sauce, I'll ship it back to where I go to school.
Lentil Sauce for Pasta This is a healthier alternative to the typical marinara sauce used for speghetti and other pasta. This is a basic recipe that can be tailored to anyone's taste.
Easy Pesto Sauce This is a basic pesto sauce that can be used as an alternative to the nonvegan version. Pine nuts can be expensive, although I still plan on buying them per pound at a supermarket, I can add blanched almonds along with the pine nuts to make this recipe cost effective.
Papusas : This is an El Salvadorean dish that is commonly made with meat and cheese. This recipe seems like an easy and convenient recipe that can be made in a microware dish. This food is less common than the Mexican food found in variations all over the country. I used to think these were made with flour and thought that they were rolled out with a pin. They are made with corn flour and rolled into a ball and patted flat before toasting or baking them.
Cross-Cut Fries like Chicken Nuggets : I want to seriously try this recipe. I've been trying to make veggie patties without success. Hopefully I'll be able to make them in the future.
I have recipes from every website I came across littered all over this blog. I plan on posting my version of all of the linked recipes.
Rice Vada : This is an indian recipe for what can be done to left over cooked rice. This food channel is also my favorite because the recipes are pretty easy and inexpensive, vegan substitutions can be made. I do believe that white rice does not have to be used. Barley or even brown rice can be used for this recipe.
Bankok Bean Burgers
Gadgets and Vegan Supplements
I did pretty well this semester with money considering that I ended up throwing away half of my grocery bill into the UNR dumpster behind the dorms. So, I managed to buy a microhearth. I didn't know they exist until I looked up the Tastiwave. I was going to get a Tastiwave until I read bad reviews about them. So, I got a brand that was made in Korea. It looks like it can cook everything. I think having this is going to be much more convenient than trying to use a rice cooker that I have to plug in all the time. Anyways, I ordered one and it says that it's going to come in two weeks. That's almost when finals start.
4/28/11 : I tried out the Microhearth and I love it so much. I plan on moving back home at the end of this summer and attend school in Southern California, so I won't need the microhearth. I'll only need it if I live in an efficiency apartment that does not have a full kitchen. Those are hard to find. I made several recipes. I tried to make some lentil kofta balls, but they fell apart due to the recipe. I fried tofu in it and it turned out crispy like I like them. No more anticipating trips to the Asian restaurants. I also made a soup with the fried tofu and it was amazing. I'll be posting that recipe soon. I give it 4 out of 5 stars, only because it won't cook when it's slightly overfilled. Otherwise, I love this product and if I decided to stay at my school I'll continue to buy the other two microhearths from this company.
I was supposed to order a vegan supplement powder that I can drink with smoothies. I didn't get to mainly because it was expensive, but I since I might be going home for good I purchase it from Whole Foods or somewhere. One of my vegan friends that I haven't heard from a while contacted me out of the blue. He's one of those die-hard vegans that I inspire to be like. It feels somewhat like one of those upperclass well-carried cousins that I admired as a kid randomly decides to visit me just to see how I'm doing. Or, simply put it, kind of like the ten year class reunion. So, I was almost crazy enough to order it. I'm so happy I didn't. There are better and less expensive alternatives to health drink mixes.

Recipes for the "Extended" Winter
It did not decided to start snowing here until last week. I figure that eventually this place will be covered in snow. Grocery shopping in this weather can be difficult since I do not want to be stuck anywhere. I found some recipes that may be good enough to get rid of the winter blues.
Thai Green Curry Lentils I have pretty much all the ingredients except the chard and ginger. For the sake of not having the ingredients listed, some substitutions can be made. I don't want to spend too much money on food. I still want to/have to go to summer school. Next time I try this recipe, I will add kale and make this a variation of my kale lentil recipe.
Baha Tofu Tacos With Cilantro Coleslaw This is another recipe by a user from vegweb.com. I think I'll make some substitutions for this recipe. There are some things that I can't find like the soy yogurt. I can marinade the tofu strips in a creamy homemade sauce, instead of coating in soy yogurt. A good side dish for these would be the taquila lime rice recipe (will be posted soon).
Berry Smoothie I'm one of those people who can eat alot of calories and still be rail thin. This is supposed to be a "filler" smoothie, for days that you don't want to eat. Being someone who likes to indulge and in some cases overindulge, I would add alcohol to this and serve it with the taco recipe above.
Tangy and Sweet Raspberry Vodka This is an alcoholic beverage for those who want sweetened hard liquor.
Cherry Velvet Limeade Mocktail For those who have vestal tastebuds.
I usually post recipes that I really like and try to make variations of them. When I get my own place (again) I will definately make these. For the second two recipes, I will feel bad being greedy and eating too many of them (I usually eat three vegan tacos, with a side of rice). I love my own cooking, so I'm confident that these will taste good.
