Entry #2 - Chick Pea Appetizers
First of all, sorry for the lack of pictures in this entry. I ran out of batteries for my camera and decided to use my mom's, which I dropped and broke on my kitchen floor when I was done cooking. Enjoy this post-recipe picture that I took with my camera:
- INGREDIENTS -
olive oil
spices (I say this broadly: usually, I use garlic, onion powder, pepper, and recently started to add crushed red pepper. They get really spicy.)
2 cans of Garbonzo beans, aka Chickpeas- DIRECTIONS -
1. Remove the can from your peas, drain, and wash.
2. In a bowl, mix together your olive oil, spices, and chick peas.
3. Spread the peas out on a foiled pan and bake in the oven at about 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Only take them out when they're sort of crunchy and the moisture is mostly gone.
4. Enjoy!

Entry #1 - Mom's Cream of Broccoli Soup
I know it's not winter, but this soup is still the boss. Creds go to my cool mom for this recipe. She is not a vegan but can veganize anything.
- INGREDIENTS -
1 tbsp oil (olive is nice, but any will do)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 washed, cleaned and chopped heads of broccoli
1 shredded carrot
1 tsp minced garlic
4 cups soy milk (unsweetened is best. this time i just used "plain" - a little sweeter than usual, but not bad. my mom accidentally made me mashed potatoes with vanilla soy milk once. they weren't bad either; just very dessert-like.)
salt and pepper
- DIRECTIONS -
1. Sautee your onions in the oil until tender.
2. Put remaining ingredients in a pot and simmer until the broccoli is soft. (about 20 minutes)
3. Turn off heat and put the soup in your blender in small batches. If it's still hot, hold the lid down with your hand or a dry towel because the lid could fly off and paint your kitchen with broccoli.
4. Serve~! I like mine with crackers but you can try it with anything - shredded soy cheese, carmelized onions, homemade croutons, garlic bread, etc.

I'm sixteen years of age. Vegetarian since 6 and vegan since 13. I'm a black sheep, but luckily I was born into a supportive family. Everyone always asks me what I eat. And I answer with a simple answer - "everything." Rec this journal to all of your vegan or vegetarian friends. I'm sure they'd enjoy it.
