Willkommen! Welcome to Vegan MoFo 2011, the 5th annual Vegan Month of Food! For all of October, the blogosphere will be blowing up as vegans and non-vegans alike participate in a creative celebration of plant-based cuisine. The point of MoFo is to post every. single. day. . . and I’m going to do my best, even if some days it’s simple “food porn”, a funky Instagram of something exciting I’ve eaten. Deal?
This year I’m going with a general theme, the playful and not-to-be-taken-so-seriously RAWK-toberfest. Yes, there will be lots of raw food! Also some cooked. Also some text-heavy articles. Probably lots of adorable baby pictures. Here’s an idea of what you can look forward to in October:
- Recipes! Raw and cooked, but mostly raw. That tahini dip I’m addicted to? Yup. Those pulp crackers I’m always on about. You betchya. xGFx sugar-free pumpkin muffins??? Ohhhh yes.
- Photos from the Farmer’s Market (such abundance this time of year!)
- Photos from my garden & the 2011 micro-farm
- A series of essays explaining the food experiments I’ve been conducting on myself this year, as well as a discussion of self-experimentation in general, and potentially touching on disordered eating/orthorexia in the food blogging world.
- Answering your questions – so please ask them! Are you curious about anything vegan- or raw-related? Lay it on me, and I may just feature it in a post!
- Pictures of vegan kids enjoying vegan eats. Because come on, who doesn’t love the little veg cuties?
- Plus all the normal Bonzai stuff, like the Book Club, “What I” Wednesdays, and Friday’s Le Love List.
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait! As for now, I leave you with a picture of my breakfast this morning: RAW chocolate-chili cheesecake from Divine Pie at the Portland Farmer’s Market. Word.
Oi! Hello there, dearest! HAPPY FRIDAY! Aren’t you glad it’s the weekend? Boy howdy, I sure am. I’m ready for Farmer’s Market and movie night and playing in my garden and mostly, relaxing relaxing relaxing the last of this sickbug away. What are you looking forward to this weekend?? ~~~ I just wanted to take [...]
For September’s mission, we challenged ourselves to take on a tough fitness regimen. I chose Jillian Michaels’ 30-Day Shred DVD, and many of you readers decided to join me (which was very cool!). The rest of you went various other routines, committing to a workout that would line up with their lifestyle (also, of course, [...]
It’s official. The temperature has dropped 10 degrees. The leaves are suddenly turning, and the gusty wind that’s arrived from nowhere is happy to pluck them from their branches, pick them up and carry them off and away. It’s raining again. So naturally, I’ve been: baking, cleaning, sewing, re-organizing, planning, brooding, and imagining fun new [...]
image source Long-time Bonzai readers have probably noticed that I don’t do a whole lot of reviews around here. There’s a few reasons for this, like that I’m really super duper selective about the products that I use, and that in general I don’t want Bonzai to center around consumerism, and most of all, that [...]
