Here’s my brother, about to chow down on a South Indian thali for lunch today. We’re here in South India for two weeks, first to celebrate my brother’s wedding and now on a weeklong tour of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. I have eaten more food in the past week and a half than I thought my stomach could hold! My sister-in-law’s mom is making sure the six (!) vegans on our trip are well taken care of, and she’s also supplying us with ample homemade snacks during the ride. “But I’m full!” means nothing! . . . . . #vegan #vegantravel #veganindianfood #veganindia #whatveganseat #india #southindia

If you’re a #vegan who’s visited #seattle, you’ve probably been to @plumbistro. Did you know they’ve got a cookbook? My review is on the blog now! (Featured here — the Avocado Salad with Seitan Bites.) 😋 . . . . . #vegancookbook #cookbook #cookbookreview #vegancookbookreview #plumbistro #avocado #whatveganseat

Lots happening in the garden... 🌱 1. Cheeky little radish. 2. Garlic harvest! Picked a few bulbs and will dig up the rest in a week or so. Now they need to cure for about a month. Garlic is so easy to grow and so rewarding! 3. Spiky baby cucumber! 🥒 4. Little scarlet runner bean blooms. 5. Somebody (🐇? 🦌?) stripped the bottom leaves off my okra plants. It’s okay... I’ve got more in the raised beds. 6. Lavender for daaaays, and a buzzy 🐝 enjoying it. 7. Little border of marigolds to add color, protect tomatoes from some pests, and attract pollinators! . . . . . #garden #gardening #gardener #vegetablegarden #vegetables #veggies #growyourown #whatvegansgrow #diy

Ain’t nature grand? (I don’t cook with aluminum foil very often because it’s a bit wasteful — what’s your favorite alternative? A roasting pan usually works great for me, but I wanted to do foil-wrapped and roasted beets tonight.) . . . . . #vegan #beets #vegansofinstagram #whatveganseat #vegetables #eatyourveggies #plantbased

Yesterday marked a year since Luna passed away. I miss this little freak so much.

Garden update! We've had both rain and sun lately — good news for all my plants! Here's a little peek at what's new. 🌧☀️🌱 1. A pea! I was excited to order Tom Thumb garden pea seeds from @bakercreekseeds. This is an excellent container variety because the plants don’t grow much more than a foot tall and don't need trellising. Mine are maybe five or six inches now and are doing great. Lots of little buds promise lots of little peas. 2. Steven and I were tickled to discover a cherry tree in our backyard last year. We had no idea it was there when we bought the house! However, cherry trees require another cherry tree for pollination, and we didn't have one, so we only got a couple measly cherries. But then our neighbor purchased a cherry tree last summer, and voila — this year we have cherries galore! I think I'll need to brush up on my tree-climbing skills because all the good ones are up high. 🍒 3. Twiddling my thumbs and waiting for my garlic to mature so I can pick it and make room in my middle garden bed. In the meantime, I planted marigolds along the edge to deter deer later on. We'll see if it works! 4. Speaking of garlic... look at this sweet streamline runner bean tendril making itself at home on a garlic leaf! I need to trellis these beans STAT. 5. I let my sage plant bloom. Pollinators love it, and the delicate flowers are so pretty. Apparently they're also edible! 6. Alas, this snowbird pea isn't doing so well. I think it's overwatered; we've had a lot of rain lately and these funky fabric containers need less watering than plastic ones. Look at that sad tiny pea at the top, though! I'm going to have to pull this guy. Luckily I have another snowbird plant that is much healthier. 7. Another failure. :( This baby spinach is a wreck. Proof that my thumb is not completely green!

Kicking off the weekend with a big ol’ Quinoa Caesar Salad from #isadoesit. Yes, sometimes I am a total vegan stereotype and get really excited about salad. 🤷‍♀️ (Bonus cameo from Steven’s sweet piggy tattoo!) . . . . . #vegan #vegansofinstagram #vegansofig #whatveganseat #vegansalad #salad #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #memorialdayweekend #vegantattoo

Saturday morning. Tower o’ pancakes. The calm before a busy day. 🥞 . . . . . #vegan #veganpancakes #veganpancakestack #veganbreakfast #veganbrunch #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #whatveganseat #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #breakfast #pancakes #pancakestack #plantbased #poweredbyplants

Third-best thing about working for an animal protection organization? Having lots of vegan/vegetarian coworkers, including one who brings in homemade #vegan lemon-blackberry cupcakes. The recipe is from the March + April issue of @vegnews, and it’s wonderful! Perfect for spring. 🍋 (And yes, I know how lucky I am!) . The first- and second-best things about working for an animal protection org? Fighting for all animals every damn day and getting to bring pups to work, respectively. 😊 . Oh, and real talk? Taking a food photo in an office is NOT EASY. In fact, after I snapped a few quick pics, my cupcake tumbled over and smeared blackberry frosting on my sleeve. 😬 #worthit
