Being Vegan Going To Disney Wold

Hi Everyone, I wanted to make a blog post being vegan going to Disney, I did a lot of research and made a google doc that really helped me out! I have linked it so that you can see what we did and hopefully it can help you out too. I found that everyone was very accommodating as long as you told them you are vegan. Key things that I found really helped was get the Disney app on your cell while your there and book everywhere that you want to eat a head of time.
Find our google doc here.

Fried Zucchini Flowers

Hi everyone, today I will be showing you how I make fried zucchini blooms. This is the perfect time of year for these yummy treats. This is a recipe from my late nonna. I miss her so much and this is how I feel close to her.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup very cold water
Pinch of salt
Male zucchini flowers with stem 

Steps:
Pick the flowers fist thing in the morning when its still cool and the flowers are still open.
Wash off the flowers, set aside. Next whisk together the flour, water and salt till smooth, you can add more or less water as needed. Heat a pan with coconut oil just to cover the bottom of the pan. Once its hot add in the flowers. Cook until the one side is light brown then flip and do the same for the other side about 1 to 2 minutes. Take the blooms and drain on paper towels. Time to eat! Enjoy everyone. Next I will be showing you how to make the toast beside the blooms!

Steamed Chicken-ish Seitan Cutlets

These are my favorite way to make saitan. If your like me its hard to find saitan in stores. So this is a super easy way to make what you need in a pinch.

Ingredients:
15 oz can chickpeas (To save money I take 1/2 cup dry chickpeas)
1 cup veg broth (I take one bouillon cube to 1 cup water)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/3 vital wheat gluten
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon paprika
some black pepper

Directions:

Get your steamer boiling. I use a steaming basket in a large pot.
Get 4 squares of aluminum foil ready. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas, until there are no whole ones left. Mix in all the other ingredients in the order listed. Mix well using a fork and then knead lightly with your hand.
Divide the mixer into 4 pieces. Form into patties. Place each in the center of the foil. fold the foil lightly. The mixer will expand.
Place the patties in the steamer for 40 min. Once they are finished you can refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for 3 months.
Enjoy!

Now Time for the daikon, once you have peeled and cut the radish. Place it in a colander with salt and mix. Place the colander over a bowl and let it drain for at least 1 hour. Rinse the salt off.

BASIC COOKING FOR CACTUS PADDLES

 Today I will be talking about basic cooking for cactus peddles. I find that they taste like green peppers pretty much. One thing I will say is be careful when cleaning the peddles I don't want you to prick yourself.

Ingredients
3 cactus peddles (mine came in a pack of 3)
water
a small spoon of oil if you wish

 So the first step is to clean the peddles.
Take your paddle and place it flat on your cutting board. Then take your knife and cut away from you you want to take off the darker bumps where the thorns grow as well as the thorns, trying not to peel off all the outer dark green skin. Once you do that you will take a peeler peel around the hole outside of the peddle. You can see all of this in this top photo.

 Cut the peddles up how ever you would like

 Time To boil the peddles for 10 min till they become olive green like the next photo

 Then Its time to fry with a little bit of oil or just some water till all the slime comes out of them, and they start to brown.

And here is how I had them. With my beef less tips, mashed potatoes, broccolini. You can also eat them in a tortilla! Just have fun with it. Have you ever had cactus paddles? And if so what did you do with them?
