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.

This is what our plan was for the week we where there:

Spicy Tofu, Rice and Wakame

I am very inspired by Asian cooking. This is a simple week night dinner that all will enjoy! Well as long as you like it spice.

Ingredient

Brown Rice
Japanese Wakame
Miso Paste
Block of Tofu
Hot Pepper past
Water
Agave
Green Onion
Sesame Seeds

Instructions

Cook for rice according to your rice insertions. The the wakame as many dried flakes and you would like add it into a pot of boiling water. Boil for 10 min. Boil some water in your kettle. Take a bowl add in the hot water with miso paste. Lastly add in the wakame. Take the tofu cut it into small rectangles, what ever thinness you want. I like to take a pan and and dry fry the tofu fist till both sides are lightly browned. Then I make the spicy sauce. I take a table spoon of the pepper past, a teaspoon of agave and as much water as you want to make a sauce to cover the tofu. Then add the sauce to the pan with the tofu in it. Bring to a light boil till all the sauce is thick. I then add the rice to a plate with the spicy tofu and a side of miso soup. Top tofu with some sesame seeds and cut up green onions. What is your go to meal when you need something quick?

Vegan Fresh Rolls

This is the perfect lunch or dinner for a hot summers day! These are super easy to make and something you can get everyone to help make just like sushi!

Ingredience

Items for the rolls
Package of rice paper
Package of rice noodles
1 carrot
Basil
1 block of Tofu
1 Cucumber
1 avocado

For the sauce
6 tbsp smooth peanut butter
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vanager
1/2 tsp sriracha

Instructions

Boil water in a pot for the noodles and cook according to its package. Also boil more water for the rice paper. While that is going on cut up all the ingredient for the rolls into small strips. I like to Julianne the carrots. I do this by cutting them on an angle into small strips like you see in the photos. Then I take some of them on top of each other, then cut again into small match sticks. Next take all the sauce and mix it together. If the sauce is too thick then add in some hot water slowly till it gets to the the right thickness for dipping the rolls in. Next its time to make the rolls. Take a dish that is large enough for the rice paper. Add in some hot water, then add in the paper for just enough for the paper to feel a bit less stiff. Take the paper on a cutting broad. Start by adding in the rice noodles, then the other items so basil tofu, cucumber, carrots. Fold up the sides on the left and right of the rolls. Then roll it up then start this process again. Have you ever made fresh rolls? What is your fav. things to add to the roll?

See how to Julianne carrots!

Vegan Tomato "Salmon" Sushi

Being vegan doesn't mean we have to give up on yummy sushi! I am such a fan. And now you can enjoy "salmon" too! This is a simple recipe that I like to make the day before I want to make the sushi, I do this so that the tomato has more time to marinade.

Ingredients
2 Large tomatoes
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp kelp cut into small strips
1/2 tbsp nori cut into small strips
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp sriracha
1/2 tbsp sesame oil


Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the full tomato, let them boil till the skin starts to peal off of them. While the tomato are boiling add all other ingredient to a container you can seal up. Next add them to a ice bath. Once you can handle the tomato take them out of the water. Put it on a cutting board. Peal off the other skin. Cut the tomato into strips and take out the seeds. All you want to save in the fleshy part. Once you have the cut out piece then add it to the sauce we have made. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least an hour or up to a day. Add it to your favorite sushi rice and enjoy with any other vegetables! Do you like sushi? Do you like making it at home?

Vegan Gluten Free Prune Cake

This is a simple recipe for everyone that wants to enjoy something yummy and cake like! This was such a hit with vegans and non vegans. I just know everyone in your family will love it too! BTW you can sub prunes for apple sauce. You need one of these items for its pectin content.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rice flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca starch
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 cup pitted prunes
• 1 cup water for the prunes
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup nut milk of your choice
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp ground flax + 9 tbsp or about 1/2 cups water
• Low Sugar Strawberry Jam mine is homemade! (optional) 

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Grease bundt pan and set aside.
3. In a small pan boil several cups of water. Remove from heat and 1 cup water to prunes. Let soak for 15- 20 minutes or until prunes have softened. Add prunes plus the water into a vitamix or blender. Set aside.
4. Combine the flax with warm water. Set aside. 
5. Mix 1 cup nut milk with the apple cider vinegar also set aside.
6. Combine rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and baking soda.
7. In a bowl combine the flax and milk mixtures.
8. Slowly add flour mixture to wet mixture and stir just until combined.
9. Stir in prunes.
10. Optional step add some strawberry jam to the bottom of the bundt pan.
11. Next spread batter into bundt pan.
12. Bake for 70-75  minutes. Check cake at one hour and bake additional time if needed or until cake starts to pull slightly away from the pan. This cake is very dense and moist so the toothpick test is hard to do on this one.
13. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes than remove from pan to cool on wire rack.
14. Also optional add some icing sugar mixed with lemon juice on top.

Vegetable Scraps Broth

Ingredients

A full freezer bag of left over vegetable clippings that you would just toss away.

Things not to add would be starch items like potatoes of any kind. Everything else is welcome!

Skins, clippings, peals, the list can go on and on. If you are unsure of if you can add an item just message me.

1/2 tsp of what ever kinds of spices you wanna add.

So

paprika

salt

rosemary

turmeric

thyme

basil

anything else you want

Steps

Add the vegetable scraps and 8 cups of water to your pressure cooker* add the spices then add on your lid and let the pot come to pressure. Once it does turn it to low and let it simmer for about 25 min. Once its done you can release pressure or like I do just turn the heat off and let the pot come back down from pressure on its own. Once you can take the lid off add all the veg to a straner to try and get all the broth out. Let that cool. Once cool you can add to zip lock bags like I do or even add it to ice cube trays if you want little cubes of broth. 

I love making my broth, saves me money, homemade, and is never the same twice since you may not have the same craps all the time. I hope you try this out yourself. If you do please let me know what you think.

* If you don't have a pressure cooker you are more then welcome to try it in a normal pot just keep in mind that it will take more time at least an hour to cook your veg.

Enjoy!

Yummy from Greens Vegetarian Restaurant

A little while ago, a friend of mine invited some of our work and I to go out for lunch. She took us to this wonderful restaurant close to Kensington market in Toronto. I can't wait to go back the food was so good and so much its so easy to share with a big group.  Oh and before I forget its a veg restaurant!
We started our lunch with hot and sour soup. We then went onto having spring rolls and taro wantons. Our mains where eggplant, a seafood mixed vegetables, and a pork with mixed vegetables, lemon chicken, and fried rice.
The food was soo good! If your close by please think about going. I think Chris and I will be going on our next date night. What sounds like it would be something you would like?
