Although the site is designed for vegans, I would argue that vegetarians may also be shorting themselves certain proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This is a great reference.

Happy end-of-semester!

Greetings! Here are some vegan recipes to try out this summer:


Key Lime Cheesecake
Makes 6 to 8 servings

2 pkgs. Tofutti plain cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup key lime juice
2 tsp. lime zest (grated rind of lime)
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
Kiwis and/or strawberries, sliced

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lime juice, lime zest, and cornstarch in a blender and mix until smooth. Pour into the graham cracker pie crust. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let set until cool to the touch, and then chill in the refrigerator overnight. Top with sliced kiwis, strawberries, or both.

Blueberry Smoothie
(for two thirsty vegans)

1/2 bag of frozen blueberries
2 tbsp. blueberry preserves
7 or 8 ice cubes
1 1/2 cups of soy milk
1 banana

This is super easy. Just toss everything into a blender and switch to the highest setting until everything is fairly smooth.

Consider adding protein powder, ground flax seed, or any other supplement that strikes your fancy. It's best to wait until the end; just blend long enough to mix. You may substitute apple juice, rice milk, or almond milk (or what have you) for the soy milk.

Savory Basil Raw Soup
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/3 cup chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup shredded beet
1/4 cup pine nuts
3/4 cup fresh basil
2 Tbsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos (or tamari)
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 - 3 cups water as needed

Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and process until finely chopped, but still chunky. Pour into soup bowls and enjoy. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

email to Fritz

Good afternoon, everyone! Here is a copy of an email I sent to Fritz this morning:

Hi, Fritz!

Just to recap what we talked about during our club meeting:
-we're hoping for more veggie and vegan options (like tofu scrambles at breakfast) at the B&G
-keep up the good signs!
-educating the staff - what is vegetarian
-keeping tongs separate and clean
-major complaint: ham falling into omlettes

Here are some recipes to consider:

I hope you're all having a wonderful day! Talk to you soon.
Oh, and also!! WE NEED TO GET A TABLING SCHEDULE TOGETHER! THOUGHTS?

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the Official University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Vegan/Vegetarian/Pescetarian blog! That's a mouthful...

We're about food. We're about ethics. While many of us do not eat meat, we're very accepting of those who do. We're about cooking and eating. We want to spread awareness of where food comes from, how it's made, and, of course, the best ways to consume it :D.

OUR FIRST MAJOR EVENT IS COMING UP! I'M SO PUMPED! It's April 5th in the Scott Hall main lounge at 5p.m. Basically, it should be a bunch of nice people hanging out, eating, and becoming aware of the vegan, vegetarian, and pescetarian presence on campus.

I'd like to provide a link to our Facebook group, which we're constantly updating:


It has basic information and vocabulary -- check out the Documents section, too! I put together some links for the curious/new/general public.

Thanks for stopping by!
