Jan – Eat Vegan

Eating Vegan

01 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

After watching the documentary Forks Over Knives, Joe and I decided about a year and half ago to change our eating habits. Rather than going completely vegan or vegetarian however, we made the decision to occasionally have meat or fish on the weekends. The results have been completely astounding! Here are just a few: 1) Read more

Thank You Northstar Cafe!

02 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Eating out “vegan style” can be quite the challenge and don’t even think about “fast food.” A sit down restaurant is probably your only option. Special thanks to Northstar Cafe for serving this amazing Tofu Pad Thai (hold the egg, of course) tonight. I even helped Joe finish his Thai Burrito, which is another great Read more

A Vegan Week in Review

08 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Greetings from your delinquent blog poster! What a busy week it has been! The few of you who actually read this are probably wondering whether or not I’ve eaten my arm off yet. (Yeah, no…) Has the whole vegan thing been a challenge? You bet! It’s one thing to make a conscious effort to eat Read more

Eating Vegan in Columbus, Ohio

11 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Eating healthy, whether you are eating a clean pescetarian, vegetarian, vegan or a whole foods diet, can be a major challenge. Dairy-free, soy-free and/or gluten-free diets are not just a trends for many, but necessities for quality of life for most. These lifestyle changes test our self-control and patience, and require a lot of planning and Read more

I Heart Northstar Cafe!

14 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Sunday, January 11th: Joe and I made our weekly visit to Northstar Cafe on Sunday morning and it was a huge success! I made sure to ask for almond milk for my coffee, and the kind folks at Northstar were happy to accommodate that need. I changed things up this week and ordered the Big Burrito Read more

Days 14, 15, 16

17 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Wednesday, January 14th: Today’s new creation was a vegetable curry with organic brown basmati rice. We’ve made a variety of different curries and I can say this one was very good, but not necessarily our favorite. The recipe called for tomato paste, but Trader Joe’s was out when I went grocery shopping so I substituted Read more

Days 17, 18, 19

20 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Saturday, January 17th: Due to Joe’s busy concert schedule this weekend, we weren’t able to partake in our traditional Sunday morning Northstar/Trader Joe’s outing. I decided to do our grocery shopping on Saturday after work and added these healthy(ish) vegan snacks to our shelves. It is quite possible that the Cinnamon Apple chips were completely Read more

Days 20, 21 & 22

22 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Tuesday, January 20th: For breakfast I made one of my favorite cereals, a Quick and Creamy Quinoa Cereal from Deana Gunn & Wona Minati’s, Cooking With Trader Joe’s Vegetarian Cookbook. I topped the cereal with almond milk, honey, Turbinado sugar, almonds and dried berries all from Trader Joe’s of course. What a perfect way to start the Read more

Days 23, 24, 25 & 26

27 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Friday, January 23rd: The last few days have been pretty uneventful on the vegan front. (But please, keep reading! lol) On Friday morning, I started my morning off with oatmeal after my morning workout. For lunch I had leftover fajitas from earlier in the week and in the evening Divertimento Flute Quartet met for a final Read more

Our January Goals Are Coming to An End

31 JanuaryAngela Heck Mueller

Tuesday, January 27th: Today I made vegan Sloppy Joe’s from the Robinson slow cooker cookbook. (Thank you again, Kelly Haley Silber!) We have two different vegan/vegetarian sloppy joe recipes and we love both! I think Joe is getting a little annoyed with me, because every time I talk about or make sloppy joes I sing, “Sloppy Joe…Slop..Sloppy Read more
