hello to the world!

i! am beginning this blog because i thought it was a good thing to do. and maybe sharing my thoughts with others will help me develop them. i type in all lower-case because for some reason i find it more appealing. not necessarily to read, but it's more fun to type this way. :P

my first thoughts are, "oh man! i could make this a vegan food blog! wouldn't that be super!" and then my second thought is, "well, i could never just keep it to that. my mind is much too much of a wanderer to stay on one subject for a blog." so, i'm thinking this will be primarily food, but also lots of ponderings and maybe some pictures of cool things i do!

this past week i came up with THE best vegan grilled cheese sandwich.
unfortunately i didn't take a picture, because i was too busy eating them, but maybe my description will give you a nice mental one.
.Dave's Killer Blues Bread (it's this super awesome whole wheat, animal product-free bread with lots of grains and organic things)
.vegan cream cheese spread thinly on each slice
.Daiya shredded mozzerella-style cheese
.sliced baby bella mushrooms
.strips of immitation chicken

toast it altogether. and it is wonderful.
but! i was too busy eating it to eat anything else though, and after a few days of mostly these not-so-low-fat sandwiches, my body said, "hey. stop that. i need more raw food. you're dumb."

so today i indulged on a bunch of broccoli with hummus, and baby bella mushrooms. cool water and some black iced coffee. mm. i feel cleaner already even though it's just been a day of eating healthier.
also!
today i made vegan cookies! and apple chips! and popsicles!
cookies:
.diced apples
.2 bananas
.oats
.water
.baking soda
.salt
.brown sugar
.whole wheat flour

apple chips:
one of the easiest things ever.
.wash and thinly slice apples
.place on cookie sheet
.sprinkle cinnamon/brown sugar, or even just plain!
.bake until crispy!

popsicles:
i made a mixture of odwalla juice, almond milk, and diced apples and put them in an ice cube tray. never done this one before, but how could it go wrong!
